Jim Wendler's 531 Program 5RM Military Press 7-24-2011

5RM bench workout with one shot of most of my accessory exercises. The only one that is left out are some seated dumbbell power cleans super setted with some hammer curls that I did at the end. These are exactly the same as the ones done at the end of my most recent bench training if you want to see it.

You have a nice home gym, must be proud.

@wrassling Thanks, I have worked pretty hard to put it all together.

thats a good idea using that bar. does it make it easier to hold it at lockout?

[MichaelPost2009]

@mattzilla331 Not at all. If you have ever benched or squatted with a cambered bar you will see that it is far less stable than a straight bar. This is much harder than using a straight bar. If a straight bar would clear my ceiling I would happily use one.

why wear a belt? your not lifting that heavy. you should have done 5x5 starting strength, i weigh 85kgs and i press 140.2 and i havent been lifting for that long
