Bench Press 5-4-3-2-1 - In this workout each set is VERY hard. You may even fail on a certain set, this is not a warm-up to try a 1 RM. A PR may occur with this, but each of the sets 5/4/3/2/1 should be maximal efforts for those sets. If your best Bench Press is 300lbs, then your sets may look like 240(5)/250(4)/260(3)/275(2)/290(1).
