Problem—Raw Bench Press; Solution—Plyometrics
The bench press is classified as a low speed, muscular strength test. Low speed muscular lifts generally require three seconds or less for a one repetition max (5, p. 288). In spite of this, speed training in the bench press has become increasingly popular. Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell Club popularized this concept by advocating a speed day in the bench press. Some call it a “dynamic” day, and some call it a “light” day.By Josh Bryant

Powerlifting Sport Psychology Training
Have you ever been to a powerlifting meet and heard someone boast about colossal training lifts? These claims are commonly made backstage or in the warm-up area. Very frequently, these comments follow a poor meet performance. Why would a competitive lifter brag about training numbers after a pitiable performance? It’s because they, once on the platform, are overrun with feelings of anxiety rather than the performance enhancing feelings of adrenaline. These men may be physical giants, but when coupled with their mental dwarfism, they will never achieve their maximum potential. In the pages that follow, I will lay out a simple plan to help you, the competitor, achieve success not only on the lifting platform but on the platform of life as well.By Josh Bryant

Bridge the Gap: Sprint-Resisted Training
“Heredity only deals the cards; environment and training plays the hand”(1). It’s possible for an athlete to improve in every phase of playing speed, whether it be maximum miles per hour, stopping and starting, feinting, faking and cutting, or multi-directional high speed acceleration with a complete “holistic” speed development plan (1). Genetically gifted athletes may be fast with little work or preparation, but they are nowhere near their genetic limitations with regards to maximum speed.By Josh Bryant
