Bench Press the Chuck Sipes Way!

The late Chuck Sipes, former IBBB bodybuilding super-star, used to recommend the following routine for people who were experiencing a standstill on bench press gains. It was not uncommon for individuals to add 50 to 75 pounds onto their previous best bench press after using this program. This is the program Chuck used to get his bench up to 570 for a single and 6 reps with 520 pounds. This was accomplished without the assistance of a bench shirt or elbow wraps and at a bodyweight of 220 pounds.
