A familiar story...

Never again!

Paul entered the gym, ready to take on his bench press max. Today was his 2nd anniversary since he has started working out. A perfect day to break his own personal best. He could not remember last time he noticed any improvement at all. It had to be at least a year ago. But that did not matter now. After following a bench press routine that came highly recommended by one of the tough guys from the gym, he knew that today was The day to break away from his over a year old personal best, which stood exactly at 225 lbs. He was ready for 250 lbs, maybe even 275 lbs. There was no way all that time, effort and money would be wasted like it happened several times before.

Warm up was quick and easy. After a small pyramid he was ready to tackle his new max.
"Let's do 225 lbs to get started" his spotter Jeremy suggested.
"Yeah, let's do it! One easy rep".
Paul laid down on the bench, taking several quick, but deep breaths. His chest up, his grip tight, his mind ready. Jeremy helped to lift the bar from the rack, and Paul immediately locked his elbows and stabilized the weight. It felt kind of heavy, but Paul did not let any negative thought enter his mind. Slowly, he let the bar down, until it touched his chest.
"Up, up" yelled Jeremy and the bar started to slowly move up, until it finally reached the top. "All right, that's 225, your old record. Let's do 240 now", Jeremy said with a noticeable excitement in his voice.
"OK, load it up", Paul replied.

"What did just happen? How could I fail 240lbs? What the hell is going on?! 10 weeks of training, half the savings spent on supplements and the other half on the perfect diet for nothing? NOTHING! Everyone said the program would work wonders. Am I really such a loser that after 2 years of working out I can hardly bench 225?"
Paul's mind was in high gear trying to figure out, why he failed again. AGAIN!
"It's all over" said Paul. "No need to waste my time and money trying to reach something I am obviously not destined to achieve."

"I quit".

Now you can increase bench press strength

Your chance to succeed

Does the story sound familiar? It happens to the best of us. Thinking, we just found the Holy Grail of bench press workouts only to see no results at all. Is there any worse feeling than the feeling of failure, the feeling of being a loser? It does not have to be that way.

See, it is not your fault. You workout hard and you follow routine that someone else hyped up as the "best routine ever". The problem is, that most these routines and well-meant advise is based purely on the results of the individual giving them to you. They are optimized for that person, but not for you! This is the crucial point that makes most routines fail. You need a workout for you, based on your physical condition, your time schedule and your state of mind.

That's where Critical Bench program, and Blast Your Bench program come in. Although very different in a way the workout is performed, they have this one thing in common - they are customized for YOUR NEEDS.
Let's have a closer look on each of them, shall we?

It is for everyone who wants to increase bench press strength. It is best suited for beginners and intermediate lifters.

Football Players
Weight Lifters
Hard Core Fitness Enthusiasts
Anyone who wants massive bench press


What is it

Critical Bench 2.0 is a fully revised, updated, and easy to read e-book written with one thing in mind - to increase your bench press. Unlike the original version, 2.0 version goes straight to the point with 3 critical components:

1. The Critical Bench Manual
This is the master manual that gives you exact description of each exercise and explains the theory behind the program.

2. Customized Training Logs 100-500 LBS
Over 80 training logs in 5lbs increments! This gives you EXACT numbers for your weights and reps. This component was previously sold separately, now it's included in the program.

Bench Press Fundamentals Online DVD
Manuals can describe proper technique, but nothing beats video to get you going fast and easy. These videos show not only proper technique, but also some neat and effective tricks and tips.


After you give some information regarding your current condition, experience and diet, you will be provided with a step-by-step customized bench routine designed only for you and your specific situation. This is a far cry from all those generic programs you have tried so far!

The program is divided into six parts
1. A primer with basic workout terms and a short explanation of the things to come.
2. Detailed warm up section
3. Bench press technique
4. Picking up the split days and training schedule
5. Detailed bench press routine designed for you

Section 3 - Proper bench press technique is essential. If you do not bench with correct technique, chances are, your bench press career will be short lived due to a serious injury.

Section 4 - The program offers several schedules to pick from, so no matter how busy you are, you will be able to follow the program easily.

Section 5 - This is the meat of the whole program. It is there, where you are presented with your personal workout routine. You will be taken step by step through 10 week routine.

You will also learn about a proper diet, including the use of supplements. You did not think this important information would not be given to you, did you?

Section 6 - Your training log is important to see your progress. Don't rely solely on your memory. Write down each workout for later analysis. Also, this log can be a great motivator. Who would not like to watch the weights rise each training?
