Coach
Travis Bogard

This program uses a modified Conjugate Westside template, incorporating ME and DE effort days to bring you a bigger Bench Press in 12 work weeks and a Deload.

The Max Effort selections build on each other strategically to take your bench press to the next level. 

Dynamic Effort waves potentiate each other so that you can come to Bench for the Board with a brand new level of strength. 

Accessories will build up all major muscle groups necessary for a massive press. 

ME Lower and DE Lower days will build your deadlift and squat as your bench grows.
