Strength Starter: Big 3

Intense intermediate-level bench program designed to add significant weight to an athlete's bench press. It is suggested that this program NOT be run for meet preparation, as the volume and intensity is too high to allow for a proper recovery and taper ahead of a meet. Upper body accessory movements should also be avoided, as doing so could impact your ability to recover properly between sessions.  This program is most beneficial when run as a post-meet cycle or as part of an off-season series. Some athletes running this 3-week cycle have seen bench press increases of 30 pounds or more, with most adding 10-15 pounds on average.

Do you prefer to train in the safe and familiar confines of your home gym? Does your schedule limit your ability to get in a training session at your usual training facility? Are you hesitant or reluctant to return to a gym environment after some time away from training? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, and you have a home gym space, you'll surely benefit from this program. This is a beginner-focused, at-home training program designed to re-integrate the lifter into fitness or build a solid foundation for those new to strength training . You will perform some basic strength training movements with the aid of dumbbells. While other movements will utilize your bodyweight as the resistance.
