YOUR FIRST 220 LB
BENCH PRESS

You bench every week.

You add more sets, try different accessories, and occasionally test a heavy single.

But the number on the bar barely changes.

You need a structured system that tells you:

  • How heavy to train
  • How much volume you need
  • Which supporting muscles to strengthen
  • When to increase your working max

A 4-week structured strength program to help you build toward your first 220 lb bench press - with progressive loading, smart volume, and a built-in progress test.

A STRONGER BENCH STARTS WITH A STRONGER BASE

Bench Press Exercises - Torokhtiy Weightlifting

A STRONGER BENCH STARTS WITH A STRONGER BASE

A bigger bench isn't just about a stronger chest.

Your upper back and lats give you a stable platform and help control the descent.

Your triceps help you finish the press.

Your rear delts and rotator cuffs support shoulder control.

That's why the program balances pressing with dedicated pulling and supporting work.

MEET YOUR COACH

After successfully winning the London Olympics in 2012, I decided to devote myself to coaching and share my experience with athletes who are interested in lifting heavy weights correctly and safely.

My best competition results are:

  • 200 kg in Snatch (video)
  • 240 kg in Clean & Jerk (video)

HOSTED OVER 300 SEMINARS WORLDWIDE

I’ve been hosting seminars for ten years now, and teaching athletes from all around the world.

I've had a hand in guiding over 10,000 athletes on their weightlifting journey.

It's an honor to be able do this!

The knowledge I gained through seminars with athletes helped shape my PhD research. I’m proud to say that in 2026, I officially earned my PhD in Sport Science!

FAQ

Is this program suitable for beginners?

Yes. The program is suitable for beginner and intermediate athletes who already understand the basic bench press technique. Every session includes clear exercises, sets, repetitions, and training percentages.

What if I already bench more than 220 lb?

You can still use the program. The percentages are calculated from your current working max, so the same structure can help you move beyond your current PR—not only reach 220 lb.

How many days per week will I train?

The program includes two bench-focused sessions per week and one optional full-body session. You can train two or three days per week depending on your goals and current routine.

Is the full-body session required?

No. The full-body session is optional. Use it if you want the program to function as a more complete training plan, or skip it if you already follow a separate lower-body routine.

How do I choose my starting weight?

Base your percentages on your current working max - a clean single you could perform today with good technique. If you are unsure, start with approximately 95% of your most recent successful one-rep max.

What equipment do I need?

You will need access to a bench, rack, barbell, and weight plates. Dumbbells, a pull-up bar, resistance bands, and cable or rowing equipment are also used for supporting exercises.

Can I repeat the program?

Yes. The program is designed as a repeatable four-week cycle. Your Week 4 test shows whether you should increase your training weight or repeat the cycle at the same working max.

How will I receive the program?

You will receive the digital program by email after completing your purchase. You can open it on your phone, tablet, or computer.

Are exercise tutorials included?

Yes. Exercise video tutorials are included. Simply click the button next to an exercise to watch its demonstration.

Do I receive lifetime access?

Yes. This is a one-time purchase with lifetime access, so you can return to the program and repeat the cycle whenever you’re ready.
