55 reviews for Bradley Barbell's Bench PR
Are you stuck at a bench press plateau? Have you never focused on heavy bench work? Are you unfamiliar with percentages or tempos? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this is the program for you. Bench PR is the personal bench press PR program of Adam Bradley, owner of Bradley Barbell.
You’ll train 5 days per week while using percentages on bench and tempos on most movements:
Upper – Lower – Pull – Push – Lower
The 6 weeks have different loading strategies:
WK1 Base – WK2 Load – WK3 Unload – WK4 Load – WK5 Load – WK6 Unload/PR

Great program this the 2nd time going through highly recommend if your body responds to low rep range heavy heavy weight.

I enjoyed that there were less sets than I am used to, which I substituted by increasing the intensity. I would recommend this program to a beginner/intermediate who has plateaued on their bench. I would say I gained about 10kg on my bench press, just waiting to finish the program.

The bench frequency with heavier loads is optimal for bench growth. Would love to see the lower body days incorporate deadlift and percentages instead of rpe bull💩

Pretty much done with the program now only brought my bench from 190-200. There are some factors that probably lowered it. Definitely did gain a decent bit of strength from the program. Wish there was more bench frequency at least 3-4 times per week instead of 2. Although this is a bench focused program it would be nice to have deadlift and the leg days are kinda lacking.

85kg to 90kg. I am dissapointed. Working weights for leg extension grew from 70 to 105 though lol. Also got a PR on chinups. Bench progress wasn’t any better than on any other non bench focused peaking program.
