10 top athletes from the USA, Germany, and Austria share how they achieved their success. Learn from the best bench pressers in the world: their techniques, their tricks, their training. For the first time together in one book: Anthony Clark, Ken Lain, Craig Tokarski, Ted Arcidi, Chris Confessore, Jim Williams, Mike Hall, Frank Pfraumer, Michael Brügger, and Karl Saliger. Did you know that Ted Arcidi gave up his dental studies to become a world champion in bench pressing? His friends abandoned him, his father disinherited him - he lived in a basement for a year and trained in the adjacent backyard under the open sky. Then he became the first person to break the 700-pound barrier in bench pressing and made history. Now let the best teach you: Discover why Anthony Clark, the reigning world champion in bench pressing (800 pounds/363 kilos), prefers incline bench training.
