I will start by saying you should have this book in your library. Glen " Power B" Buechlein is a great story teller and enjoys his fair share of hard work. I would generally consider Power B a bench press specialist but he offers much more than that. His wit and humor makes this a very easy read and also provides a number of different ways to torture your body into submission.
Here are a few things he covers.
* Bench Press technique
* Max Effort Training
* Repetition work (some really different ideas on this one!)
* Triceps/Lockout work (Triceps Death, Beekers, Triceps Death variations, etc.)
* 10 week training program for the bench press
* Insane training for the back
* Strongman training
* Conditioning work that you have never thought of or seen
* Odd lift training
* Bench Press challenges
* Kettlebell challenges
My training partners and I have put into practice a few ideas from this book and they will be staples in our program for a long time to come. If you enjoy pushing yourself physically and mentally through workouts, or need some different ideas for training, it's a great book. This is for sale at Elitefts.com in e-book version or hardcopy.
If you are not sold yet here are a few other articles by Power B to get you started. Some of the articles are also in the book so you will get an idea of what you are getting.
