Who doesn’t love a good bench press day?! Ok, maybe not everyone does, but most enjoy it. This lift is one that can help enhance your overhead strength, handstand push ups, dips, push jerk, push press, ect. So let’s see what we have today! Conditioning is a traditional couplet that combines 2 movements that do not interfere with one another which allows for high power output but will demand high level fitness to keep going at RX’d loads. Scale so you can do touch and go reps for 1 set of 9 if asked, not that you have to do the workout that way.
