12-Week Bench Press Program FAQ’s

Q: Is this Bench Press Book for beginners?

A: Yes, absolutely! This book starts off by teaching you proper bench press technique in a simple and easy to understand way. And the best time to learn how to lift properly is right from the start!

Also, the Bench Press Program is based on your current strength. So, whether you are a total beginner or have been lifting for years, the program works so that anyone can do it.

Q: What about advanced lifters?

A: Of course! We've been sent countless emails from high-level and experienced lifters that learned something new they never noticed or thought of before! And it helped them tremendously, even after all these years.

The fact is, there's always more to learn and everyone can benefit from improving their bench press technique, eliminating weaknesses, and building strength! Even if you've been at it for years.

Q: Is this Bench Press Program for women too?

A: YES! We know of several women who have tried this Bench Press Program and had great success; both in strength and appearance! Remember, you are only limited by your efforts. It may take a little bit longer for women to build strength, but if you put in the work, you can go as far as you want.

Q: I'm 40+ years old. Can I do this Bench Press Program?

A: ABSOLUTELY! It's never too late to start getting stronger! Plus, you can start at any level and progress at your own pace. The only thing that will hold you back, is you!

We've actually had men in their 40's and 50's do this Bench Press Program with great success! They feel stronger than ever and actually learned some new things too!

Plus, this program is great for naturally boosting testosterone production!

Q: With this help with my shoulder pain?

A: YES! Very much so! This Bench Press Book not only teaches proper technique, so you can avoid causing injury, but it goes over vital rotator cuff information to help keep your shoulders healthy! Plus, it can help fix any wrist and elbow pain too!

Q: How much of an increase can I expect in 12-Weeks?

A: Well, to start, we've had numerous people email us after their very first workout saying that their bench press went up 20-50 lbs just by improving their technique! And their technique wasn't that bad to start! But just by adjusting a few things, the lifts "felt so much easier" to them.

Overall, most people have told us of 40-100 lb increases for each lift within the 12-weeks. We are yet to hear of anyone that has achieved less than 25 lbs. And he was a VERY experienced lifter.

- Beginners can expect a 10%+ increase.

- Experienced lifters can expect a ~5-10% increase.

Q: What do I do after the 12-Week Bench Press Program?

A: Start again (or try another awesome Mathias Method Program)! This Bench Press Program is set up to where you can continuously do it over-and-over again without risking overloading yourself with a ton of heavy weights. This is because we start with a few weeks of volume training to help you increase your work capacity. Then gradually work into more intense work.

However, most people like to take 1-4 weeks between program cycles to work on other things, before getting back to the real work. But it's up to you.

Q: What should I do for my other workouts (legs, back, etc.)?

A: The Bench Press Workouts include exercises for chest, shoulders, triceps and abs. Lower body, or squat and deadlift, workouts are not programmed and can be trained as normal. Or, get our 12-Week Squat and Deadlift Programs to pair with this one!

Q: Will this help me build muscle too?

A: YES! Strength is the base for building muscle! And this Bench Press Program has a lot of volume to help you put on size (if desired). Plus, we only use the most effective muscle and strength building exercises for all areas of the program! So, this program has everything you need to build muscle—if that is your goal.

Q: Do I need to take any supplements for these programs?

A: Nope! You don't need to take any supplements or other substances to make this Bench Press Program effective. Just make sure you get enough good sleep and recover well and you're set. We talk more about this in the books.

Q: What equipment do I need for this Bench Press Program?

A: You don't need any fancy equipment to do this Bench Press Program. Just your basics; bench press, barbell, plates, and dumbbells. It would be good to have an incline bench press, but they are not necessary. Every exercise has a replacement that you can do with a barbell and plates if needed.

Q: What if I don't know how to do one of the exercises?

A: Every exercise listed has a dedicated "How-To" page linked to our other site (MathiasMethod.com) to explain in full detail how to do them correctly. As well as the main muscles being worked and purpose.

Q: How long do the workouts take?

A: Usually 1-2 hours, depending on how long your breaks are between sets.

Q: What do the workouts entail?

1) Warm-Up - Dynamic Mobility Warm-Up and a few Bodyweight Exercises.

2) Technique Work - 3 quick sets to make sure the movement is feeling good and your form is on point.

3) Main Lift (bench press) - The main lift for the day where the most strength is built.

4) Accessory Work - Extra chest, shoulders, and triceps Exercises to add volume and build strength in all areas.

5) Conditioning (optional) - Any form of cardio or conditioning work to improve your fitness and burn more calories if desired

6) Mobility Work - Mobility Stretching Exercises to help with recovery and improve flexibility.

Q: Isn't Bench Pressing bad for your shoulders?

A: Only if you do it incorrectly. That is why this Bench Press Book starts off by teaching you how to lift correctly, so you won't ever have shoulder problems. In fact, we teach you how to fix any joint pain you already have and strengthen your joints to avoid further problems in the future.

Worth every penny!!!

I can’t say enough about this program. When I started I was benching 225 for just a few reps. I had to take a few months off training after a surgery and my numbers were even less than they were prior to the procedure. I dove into this program head first following my recovery and was extremely pleased. It works!
My 1RM for my bench is now 315. I can’t say enough about this program. Worth every penny!!!

This Book is the Real Deal!

Look, if you're a realist who is serious about transforming your body in a healthy sustainable way, this is a great guide. Most people fail because they don't see the results that appear in commercial publications. If you're desire is to get stronger without using banned substances and to actually complete a program that will help you in your day to day life, give this a try.
I've heard people say that Ryan's books are too short or that the internet can give you all the information you need to know, I disagree. Ryan breaks it down in simple concise terms that can lead to great results for the intermediate to experienced lifter with specific goals.
I'm 41, three kids, and have read about every workout book out there; even if I'm not doing Ryan's workout on a particular day, I never stray from his principals and advice on form.
Why do all but the most serious lifters fail? They have no direction other than what they ready in a book with several hundred pages of how to(s) and unrealistic models demonstrating the movements.
Give this book a shot and by all means email Ryan if you have any questions; he'll likely get back to you with in 24 hours.

FYI-I have never meet Ryan nor have I received anything for this review other than continued satisfaction with his books.

A+ for amazing! Went from 335 to 395 Bench Max!

*Second review after finishing program.

Results A+
What I learned A+

This book is great for bench progress and teaches and answers many questions. I bought both the full power and bench books. This one is great for detail and if you want to mainly focus on your bench while continuing in your non-bench workouts on different days. Buy the power book if you want to improve on all three lifts.
P.S. my muscles got huge, way bigger than standard body building even though I was focusing on strength gains.

This is not a 1000 pages of confusion and options. This is medium short, concise, bad-a$$ instruction. Every important detail what to do is here. It's amazing! No long winded chapters, short, concise and brilliant.

I love this program and had an 18% increase!

That is incredible. The price of the book is amazing for the results it offers. Love it!

Love it when intelligence and strength meat each other

Awesome program, I love the diversity of the lifts in this program.

12 weeks, two lifts per week and all 24 lifts in total have a unique and tailored series of different kind of excersises.

Brilliantly put together to constantly grow the chest in size and power!
