5-15-20 Max effort upper body

Main work
  • Work up to a 1 rep max Bench press + chains
    Warm up to 80% bar weight then keep adding 1 chain each side until finding a max lift.

    Note regarding how to attach chains: set your chains so that most of the chain weight is lifted off the ground as you unrack and have arms fully extended, leave only a link or two touching the floor. You don't want it swinging but you also don't want too much chain resting on the floor. It's helpful to have carabiners & leader chains to make adjustments to chain height.

    IF YOU DON'T HAVE CHAINS: substitute today's bench with either a floor press or (2) board press.
