Build your bench from zero
Bench from Scratch · 8 weeks
Eight weeks of focused bench progression. Two heavy bench days + two pushing-volume days. Triple your starting weight.
For the lifter who can barely bench an empty bar — or wants to build their bench from a stuck plateau. Two main bench sessions per week with linear loading, two volume push sessions for accessory growth and stability.
