Program Description
Made to get out of a bench plateau and still get your squats and deadlifts in. This program takes a heavy toll on your shoulders and elbows so take at least one week off/deload between waves to prevent injuries. Every week ends off with a "test day", which is just an AMRAP on the big 3, if you want to prioritize bench (and you feel like it) you can just move the bench AMRAP to first to manage fatigue better. PS: made by a poverty bencher
