Powerlifting Workout, Speed Bench

Posted Sep 16 2009 10:07pm
Here is the Speed Bench workout we did yesterday:
  • Chain Bench Press 10 x 3 with 50% raw max plus about 100 lbs chain weight at the top
  • Pull-ups paired 6 x 5 with Triceps Dumbbell Toss 6 x 6-10
  • Pull-ups paired 6 x 4-5 with Cable Triceps Extensions 3 x 10
  • Seated Face Pulls 2 x 20 paired with Hammer Curls 2 x 5

I am doing a lot of pull-ups these days to improve my back strength and fill out a bench shirt better. You can substitute rows instead of pull-ups if you wish, but I find most athletes do not do enough pull-ups.

Benching with chains will teach you to really accelerate the bar through the full range of motion as the weight is heavier at the top than the bottom. A fast lifter is a strong lifter!
