In his words, what follows was his pound-by-pound, workout-by-workout presciption for me,
or anyone who wants to add 100 pounds to their current max in six months.
Enter Marty Gallagher
Is it possible for a regular fellow with a 200-pound bench press to add 100 pounds to his bench
press in six months? The answer is that, while improbable, it is not impossible. It requires
eating the elephant one bite at a time.
There are three requirements:
Requirement #1: A periodized tactical game plan. Periodization is another word for
progressive resistance preplanning. Elite powerlifters, Olympic weight lifters, and
professional athletes use periodization to stair-step their way upward to ever greater
strength levels over a specified time period, usually 1216 weeks. By expropriating a
periodization strategy and applying it to the bench press, the impossible becomes
plausible.
