First woman to bench press over 300 lbs (137 kg) in competition in the 1980's

Won multiple IPF World Powerlifting Championships, representing Australia

This workout was republished Mar/2004 in POWERLIFTINGUSA.

While Bev adjusted her training intuitively, her bench press cycles followed a classic 8-week periodized pattern — blending powerlifting structure with bodybuilding volume

Build the base, then test the power! Improve technique and explosiveness!!
