Scott Warman’s 10 week bench press peaking program is a bit different than many bench peaking programs in that it focuses on improving the 2RM by 10 lbs. 1RM improvements are saved for meet day.

Like many advanced peaking programs, Scott Warman’s is set up simply:

Rapidly decrease reps from 11 to 2
Always 2 sets per workout
