Mike Westerdal developed The Critical Bench Program 2.0 out of a personal need to develop his own upper body strength and mass.
At the early age of fifteen, when Mike was at his own developmental stage of life, he realized his personal confidence and goals required having a muscular tone and physique.
Mike’s football coach was an advocate of bench training, however, Mike realized that the postures and techniques being taught at the time were inadequate to provide the results he desired.
Agreeing that bench training is a core exercise which improves your body more than other traditional exercises, Mike researched every available program and technique to build the now acclaimed Critical Bench Program.
What is the product?
The bench is the perfect trainer for developing upper body strength and with proper techniques exercises every muscle in the body even hips and legs.
Improper use of the bench results in inadequate use of critical muscle groups. Lack of results often lead to frustration with the bench as a valuable muscle building tool.
The Critical Bench Program 2.0 is based on bench exercises using increased weight on a steady basis over a ten week timeframe. This program shows you how to properly press the weight for maximum effect.
With the techniques of Critical Bench you can build strength and mass while steadily increasing the amount of weight lifted. The program is structured to spend four or five days a week at the bench, spending as little as an hour on your customized program.
How does it work?
All workouts can be performed in the privacy of your home, without the expense of gym memberships, expensive equipment or trainers.
The program can be started immediately and is completely portable, perfect for the military man or occupations where gyms are not readily available.
This theory is based on stressing your body progressively, with increasing weight. Natural, safe and consistent conditioning with this program allows you to gain strength thus building muscle.
Muscle burns more calories than fat, more muscle less fat provides a strong lean physique. Mike discovered that routine static workouts do not provide the stress required for the body to produce growth hormone’s needed to build muscle fast.
The Critical Bench Program provides a roadmap to success with proper lifting techniques, graduated weight increases, mental conditioning and adequate periods of rest between workouts.
In just ten short weeks you can increase your lifting power by 50 pounds or more with the added benefits of increasing health, developing muscle and reducing body fat.
The results are addictive, the immediate response of your body to the exercises will keep you engaged. This program is the answer for men who are serious about developing and maintaining a leaner more muscled body with the added strength that bodybuilding alone will not provide.
There are no magical diets, expensive supplements or complicated equipment required with this program, all that is required is desire, dedication and the proper workout.
