The 21-week program:
Barbell Club – 21-weeks from February 2022
After the core lift, really focus on strengthening the following:
Upper body: triceps, lats, front delts, core
Lower body: lower back, hamstrings, core, upper back
Remember, your bench will only be as strong as your triceps and lats; your squat will only be as strong as your lower back and core.
Aim to increase your strength in these by recording your load and trying to improve each week. If you focus on making your triceps as strong as possible your bench will improve. Same with the lower back and core for the squat, and so on.
