Goal: Increased reps on 225 Bench Test through improved strength in the Bench and auxiliary lifts.

Shaw: The Bench is the core lift of the workout; then we work on all the auxiliaries-the shoulders, back, biceps and triceps. Everything helps to increase upper body strength, which in turn helps with endurance when you're lifting 225 in the rep test. You're really trying to work the opposite muscles, like push and pull. You [might] never have to do [this] on the football field, but it provides balance.

Dorsey: The upper body lifts [don't take] that long, but we are able to work on everything-bench, shoulders, back, arms and especially abs-they love to punish us on abs!

Douset: We do high repetitions so [we] get used to moving the weight a lot of times. At LSU we did heavier weights and not as many reps to build power and strength. But now, it's more endurance.
