Video of the Week- 10-Rep Cluster Bench Press

Sean Skahan

Here is a video from a training session that we did recently.  The athlete in the video is hockey player, Kyle McKinnon of Providence College.  He is doing our 10-Rep Cluster Bench Press during our “Accumulation -2” phase of our summer program. 

In the video, Kyle is using a 5-rm load.  The idea is for him to get 10-reps in as least sets as possible.  We will rest 30 seconds in between rounds and will do up to 3 sets total. I first learned this in one of Christian Thibaudeau's books.
