Critical Bench Review

Mike Westerdal is the author of the Critical Bench program and puts the claim of ‘Increase your bench press by 50 pounds’ out there from the beginning. This is a big claim and when thinking about writing about the Critical Bench review I was prepared to 'knock' it. A massive bench is something many gym goers would love to have.

Every person is different so I am unsure if you will add 50 pounds to your current bench press, but if you follow the Critical Bench program correctly you should increase your bench by a huge amount. A newbie weight trainer who followed the Critical Bench program correctly could definitely increase their bench by 50 pounds.

This program is put into ten weeks and after this; it is recommended that you have a rest or a ‘deload’ period. This is to ensure that you are not overtraining. If you are over-training all progress in strength gains will halt and you will eventually become weaker. Westerdal does offer the deload routine as a bonus to the Critical Bench program.

The Critical Bench program is brief and this is a strength as it cuts out needless information. The program is straight forward and you are never left wondering what needs to be done. All you need is to follow the instructions of the eBook. Plus, it shows you the correct order of exercises to go through. It's an important principle since you don’t want to pre-exhaust certain muscles when you complete the bench press. Doing this will lead to an average effort in your bench. There are numerous important tips within the CB program, these helped show Mike Westerdal's experience in the bench press and powerlifting game.

Westerdal touches on the subject of being mentally prepared and not letting the bar and plates get the better of you. If you are planning to bench big (400 pounds +), the particular quantity of 20kg plates on each side can put doubt in most people. He tells you to get rid of any negative thoughts and all focus must be on lifting the weight. Everything starts in your head and you will need to learn the mental aspect of benching big.

A criticism from the program and the only criticism in this Critical Bench Review is you will most likely need to have an effective training partner. Completing negative repetitions without a training partner, only works in the squat rack.

There are more helpful sections: What supplements to use, Power eating - Westerdal covers what you ought to eat to bench big. The significance of rest/sleep is also covered. All of these sections are brief, but the information is concise and covers what is needed.

The Critical Bench program retails at $77 dollars. If you decide to purchase the Critical Bench program the bonuses that you will receive are deload routine, conversations with Elite Iron Warriors, a guide on how to perform the exercises in the program, and the in-depth creatine report. You can get all your money refunded within 60 days. That is almost ten weeks if you don’t think you've increased your bench after 59 days - ask for your money back!

Overall if you want to build up your bench press by a great amount, get stronger and increase your overall lean body mass the Critical Bench program is an excellent starting place. The program gives you 10 weeks to get a bigger bench press. When you follow the principals involved you will not only find yourself with a greater bench, but also a more muscular body.
