BENCH OPS

What started out as just another Saturday bench press workout for Matt Poe has turned into a 12-year seminar every Saturday to help members and visitors with their bench press, called “BENCH OPS.”

Guys and Gals of all ages and levels bench with whatever style you would like to use  every Saturday at 10:30am on a FORZA bench. Coach Poe and Coach Josh Scott bench with the group. 

Matt Poe, “I work out three days a week to stay healthy in life and strong for my PushPress exhibitions, and I told everyone, If you need help with your bench press, join me on Saturdays.’”

Well, a few people showing up turned into a minimum of around 10 folks and up to 30 people on some Saturdays. It is basically a pickup basketball game for the benchpress. 

Matt designs the sessions focusing on hands on biomechanics, intensity, and efficiency.

Matt and Josh Scott teach principles effective for beginners and advanced lifters that can be used to help improvement of any competition style benchpress, non-competition style benchpress, athletic style benchpress, or any other style benchpress of your preference. 

“You don’t have to bench 500 pounds to join us. Ninety-nine percent of the group are beginners. Everyone starts with the bar. We have had people start with just the bar and progress to close to 350 pounds or from a dowel to 65 pounds. We have had folks start with 350 pounds and end up benching over 400 pounds. We have children and adults all working out together. It is very common to see a youth (5 year old to over 18 years old) benching a dowel, and the next guy up is one of the best benchers in the USA.”

There is no pressure or judgment, just encouragement and family. In 12 years, Matt has written over 500 different workouts for the Saturday group.

“Josh and I get to know the personalities of the group, their capabilities, and their work ethic like the back of my hand. All sessions are productive, and folks see immediate (day-one) improvement. I have taken biomechanics, 30 years of coaching, and all of my training principles in the PushPress as well and have applied these things to every bench session.”

Saturdays are the best day of the week for most people in the group because of the social aspect and the fact that Matt and Josh Scott are 100% present on each set for all.

Matt leads with his first set every Saturday, followed by Josh Scott. Then, the rest fall in after. All are welcome after the session to join Matt and Josh for tricep work and hills, and sand sprints with Matt.

This service is $25.00 per session or $85.00 per month for members. Members receive their first session for free.

For non-members, this service is $85.00 per visit and $300.00 per month for 4 Saturdays.
