Hall warmed up with 60 kg flat bench press, bend your knees and lift your feet off the ground to work the trunk. He then did four sets of 25 reps at 250 pounds and repeated with an incline bench press at 225 pounds., trying to minimize the time between sets “to maximize lactate buildup in the muscles.” Next, Hall performed three sets of climbs on an assisted bench press machine, starting at 80kg, before moving up to 120kg and 160kg.
