I've done 2 PPSAs so far - Oak Tree and FOTH. I just finished FOTH today. I'm not familiar with Benchuary. What are we looking at here? I am interested.

I’ve never done it before, but I expect a lot of benching Monday-Friday

That's a new one for me.
Is that hold 3-4 10 lb plates in one hand for 15-20 seconds?
Posted on 2/2/26 at 1:21 pm to HoldThatTiger03
I may have to do this one next month.
I loved this last year! Went from 245 to 315

That's how I took it and its a new one for me also. Day 1 had wrist curls in cardio and now this. Grip strength is something I would like to work on but I have a small left ring finger issue that messes with that right now. I don't think this will mess with issue but I'll see tomorrow.

I planned on skipping this one this year but now that I see it'll have lower body training included im intrigued

Once I found out Aaron was programming it, I was on board. His programming is why squatober is so fun, and knew that he couldn't exclude his favorite lift from Benchuary, like Bill Gillespie did last year. It's not to late to hop in!
Day 1 down in 47min!

The grip holds were something serious!
Had to switch it up to 3 10 pound bumper plates after 2 sets with a 45 pound bumper plate.

Hell yeah that’s badass. I’m hoping my shoulder can hold up through this whole thing.

I was worried about an old shoulder injury too. Which was why my max was so low. I told myself I would stop at the first sign of any pain, and I was able to finish the whole month.
I see the plan is being written by PPSA this time. Last year it was written by someone else. I hope they don't mess with the style much because last years was perfect.

I don’t have bumpers so I just did dead hangs to failure. Not a huge snatch grip deadlift fan but he wrote them down so I did them.
Posted on 2/3/26 at 8:35 pm to Canuck Tiger
It’s one of my least favorite lifts and I have a grip issue with my left ring finger which isnt as big of an issue in alt grip DLs. But I’m taping it
/stabilizing it against the middle finger and it’s getting better. Did the exercise today and the chin ups the day before. All the bumpers were on racks being used and I don’t like bugging people so I just found some 10 pound plates, 2 of which are about the size of 3 bumpers. Held those and walked around for a few minutes each rep.
