Dear Friend,

If you're interested in taking your training to the next level, you want to build bigger muscles, and drastically increase your bench press, than this will be the most important letter you have ever read.

Here's why:

There's an amazing workout routine called "The Critical Bench Program - Increase Your Bench Press 50 Pounds in 10 Weeks." I have personally used this 110% guaranteed sure-fire system to build a 400 + bench press and it has helped over 5,000 others do the same.

This book is truly amazing. Here's a small sample of what it reveals:

• How to train smart so that you avoid over training. Your muscles need time to rest and recover. They grow between workouts not during workouts. Over training is the #1 mistake made by lifters of all levels and we'll make sure it doesn't happen to you.
  
  
• Why stretching and warming up is so important if you want to bench big weight. Lifting heavy weights can take its toll on the body, but with our warm-up routine you'll keep your rotator cuffs healthy and avoid the aches & pains that many suffer from.
  
  
• The secret to training for strength is low reps. That's right 5's, 4's, and even singles. In my experience muscle is directly related to strength gains. As you get stronger your muscle will get bigger.
  
  
• How to mix things up and add variation to your training. When you do the same workout over and over your body gets used to it and stops responding. Your program adds variables to keep your body guessing.
  
  
• Why you shouldn't pre-exhaust your muscles when trying to increase your bench press. Pre-exhausting your muscles can be a great training method but it's not applicable when you are trying to up your max. For example, you cannot train triceps before chest. If you do, your bench will go nowhere fast since the bench involves the use of the tri's. If they're already tired how are they going to help you bench press?
  
  
• How successful clients get in the right mindset for a big day at the gym. The bench press is a very mental lift. Why is that you can bench 300 but not 315? Does it have to do with the three plates on each side of the bar? Or maybe you can do 295 but not 300, because 300 sounds heavier. We'll teach you how to be mentally tough and how you can visualize your success with an Iron Mind.
  
  
• Why technique is so important. I'm confident if you adjust your form, whether it be your grip, the angle of your press, or the placement of your elbows you'll see a significant difference without changing anything else.
  
  
• Exactly how long you should be resting between sets when you are training for power and strength.
  
  
• Why you can't believe supplement ads. Did you know that almost every major bodybuilding magazine is owned by a supplement manufacturer? This makes it almost impossible to find reliable information about what really works and what gives you the most bang for your buck. Supplements are good for two things, insurance and covenience. If you don't get enough food they act as insurance, and if you live a hectic lifestyle they can be convenient. Supplements aren't necessary to succeed on this program, but if you want some cutting edge suggestions we have proven recommendations for you based on real life experience as well as scientific research.
  
  
• Why your lifestyle habits will affect your training. We're not going to put you on a strict diet, but if you think poor nutrition, partying, and sleep deprivation won't affect your performance in the gym your greatly mistaken.
  
  
• Why it's so critical to have an exact goal and to track your progress.
  
  
• How a lifting buddy can assist you perform classic training methods like forced reps, - reps, negatives, & speed work.
  
  
• Learn how to use proper "assistance exercises" to propel your bench press strength through the roof.
  
  
• Why spending more than an hour in the gym per day is counter-productive.
  
  
• And much, much more!

Pretty amazing don't you agree? But don't take my word for it. Listen to the success stories of real people who have put the Critical Bench Program to the test with unbelievable results.

No Matter Who You Are, You Can Start Using This Powerful Customized Bench Press Program RIGHT NOW To Get Stronger Than You've Ever Been Before!

We don't discriminate. If you are a beginner most programs you do will increase your strength. Of course why not learn from somebody who knows what they are doing and get off to a great start. People have had success with this program regardless of their max. Whether you bench 100, 200, 300, or greater than 400 lbs you can benefit. Although many powerlifters have achieved a 500 lb bench press you won't be using any special powerlifting equipment such as bands and chains. As long as you have a gym membership or a bench set with dumbbells you have access to all the equipment required.

If you are an advanced lifter you're always looking for something new, and this change of pace might be just what you need. Besides no matter how long you've been training you have to continue to learn and keep an open mind. Whether you're a powerlifter, weekend warrior, football player, a beginner, or and advanced weight trainer you can have success adding fifty pounds to your max. It doesn't matter what your background is. Whether you're 15 or 75, play sports or don't play sports, male or female, compete or don't compete, it can work for you too because each program is customized based on your max.

The Bench Press Is King...But Don't Forget About The Rest Of Your Body

The Critical Bench Program is focused on increasing your bench press. This doesn't mean you'll neglect other parts of your body. You will lift each body part once per week and make gains on all your lifts spending an hour or less in the gym per day. I"m not going to insult your intelligence by saying this is going to be easy, because it is going to take hard work.

Those of you who think the Bench Press is simply for the ego....you're wrong. It's true people do put a huge emphasis on this exercise. However it's not so strange when you think about it. The bench press is a core fundamental exercise for developing upper body strength. You're not only working your pectorals (chest), you are also working your anterior deltoids (front shoulders), triceps brachii, and latissimus dorsi. If I could just pick just one exercise to train my upper body I would have to go with the bench. You just can't develop the same upper body mass with any other exercise.

Top 6 reasons to increase your bench press according to our recent survey.

1. To conquer a personal goal.
   
2. To add muscle mass and build a bigger upper body.
   
3. Enhance athletic performance in sports such as football.
   
4. For powerlifting events and training.
   
5. For self-confidence and bragging rights.
   
6. To measure your strength.

Why You Can't Afford To Pass This Up

Every Critical Bench Program is different. It is based on your one rep max. You will be given the exact numbers you need to lift for every set of the bench press. For the rest of the exercises you will be given a rep range to reach. If you're not sure what your one rep max is, you can project it by visiting http://www.criticalbench.com/chart.htm.

Strictly following the regiment will ensure that you up your max fifty pounds. This program has you lifting five days a week, and only one of those is for chest. You're right it is asking a lot, but if you're a hard worker and have the desire to improve we can help you.

You'll never be left high and dry. If you have questions or need to discuss your training you can always e-mail us for support and we'd prefer you do. You'll be part of a community where you can discuss your training on the message board with others doing the program, as well as keep up to date with our eNewsletter. We're all here to walk you through it.

Why You Should Listen To Me

I could tell you I'm a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise, that I have a B.S. degree, that I've played and coached football professionally, or that I've trained hundreds of lifters with success but that's not the main reason you should listen to me. The reason you should listen to me is because I Believe in You.

To spend an hour with a personal trainer at the gym could cost you up to $70 and he/she probably won't know much about benching. For a 1/2 of the price you get a customized expert workout program, and
e-mail support from a strength coach. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

Adding 50 LBS In 10 Weeks To Your Bench Press Is An Impossible Scam

First of all, the word impossible is not part of my vocabulary. And I certainly don't let somebody else tell me what I'm capable of. When you want to achieve a goal you should surround yourself with positive influences that support what you're trying to reach. If you listen to people that tell you that you can't do something you're only allowing them to drag you down. You should never let anyone set limits for you.

Second of all I know it's possible because I have personally done it. My training style had me at a plateau of 300 lbs for over a year. The first time I did the Critical Bench Program I soared to 365. I made more progress in 11 weeks than I had made in the entire previous year.

Obviously you can't do the program over and over without taking a break in between. Think of it like medicine, just because you take more doesn't make it work better. If you do the program for 52 weeks straight you aren't going to add 250 lbs to your bench. You need to lift light for a month or two between programs to keep your muscles from adapting. That's exactly what I did before starting the program for a second time. This time I added another 50 lbs to my max reaching 435.

Follow This Program At Our Risk....It Tells YOU How To Beat A Personal Best

Don't make increasing your bench press harder than it has to be. This program is a direct result of my own sweat, blood, and tears. That's why I'm so confident you'll be absolutely delighted when you finish. If you're not estatic about your decision I'll give you a full refund with no questions asked. Absolutely no hard feelings, it's a risk free opportunity for you.

Set Yourself Up To Succeed By Following These Steps...

1. The first thing you need to do is make sure you know your one rep max, since this program is customized. If you're not sure what your max is you can estimate using our chart.
