S/S/S:

Bench Press

3X5

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Second time hitting Bench Press this cycle. Sets go down, so look to go heavier than thee 5X5 week.  Remember to keep your shoulder blades glued to the bench throughout the lift.  The second they come off the bench, you roll your shoulders forward and put them in a spot that can easily lead to injury.  We want you strong, not hurt.  Increase weight each set.  The goal is the last rep of every set should be pushing you close to your limit, but not leading to failure.  Choose wisely…
