How to Max Out for the Bench & Squat (this weekend)

Published: Fri, 11/30/12

I got this from my new BENCH MODE program...it's right

on the money.

If you're gonna max out this weekend here's how to do it.

ATTEMPTING A MAX

When attempting a maximum, things will be a little different than when

working out. First, do two warm-up sets with 50% and a third set if you

need it. Then begin your climb.

Set #1: 75% for 3 reps

Set #2: 80% for 3 reps

Set #3: 85% for 1 rep

Set #4: 90% for 1 rep

Set #5: 95% for 1 rep

Set #6: Try to set a new max by at least 10-20 lbs.

Do this for both the bench and squat. Don't do anything else afterwards.

NOTE: Be sure to have a training partner present so that they can spot you.

Be upbeat and pumped. Listen to your favorite music. Wear your favorite

shorts or whatever it takes to make you feel totally confident and ready.

Even if you fail to set a new max, continue on to the 3rd cycle. Remember

getting stronger takes months and years, not just days and weeks.

Maxing out in a smart way like this should help you set a personal record.

Let me know how it goes for you. And don't forget if you want to up your

bench, you can get the new BENCH MODE program for $30 OFF until

the clock strikes midnight tonight Friday the 30th.

Keep training hard,

P.S. Maybe you're feeling a bit of holiday stress and you don't want

to think about starting a new full blown workout until the new year.

That's understandable but I ask you to consider the following.

1- There are deload weeks in the program that you can perfectly

time with the holidays without missing a beat on your program.

2- You can grab it at a discount right now and save it for Jan 1st if

you want to.

I'll leave you with the following quote....

Elliott's pro strongman days. He is just as strong now

but a lot leaner.
