Every real man wants to have a 400 pounds bench press, but this is often the hidden desires of just about all of those including myself to bench press 400 pounds. A few years ago this was just many of mens dreams but today with using a few body building secrets this is fast becoming dreams fulfilled, accomplished,and achieve or just feeling great about yourself for doing it. I remembered back in Jr. High school in 1977 the whole entire school was called to the gym to watch some guy bench press 300 lbs, back then that was a huge achievement but today high school kids are benching 300 lbs. , so benching 300 lbs. is good only if you're weighting 180 lbs. or less so today 400 lbs. is the new mark that must be hit. This workout is for the mentally strong men, because I know from past experience that only the strong will ever attempt to do a 5 month program to achieve a 400 lbs. bench press.
