Eccentric Overload Bench Press with PREP

The setup for the eccentric overload bench press with PREP (power rack eccentric potentiation) method and application is simple. Set the safety pins in the power rack just slightly above chest height. Load the bar with 110-120% of your 1RM and perform the eccentric portion of the bench press in a controlled fashion while gently letting the weight settle to the safety pins. Next, you can slide out of the rack and strip a plate off the bar yourself (representing a 20-30%) reduction in load), or have spotters do this step for you. Then press the weight back up and rack it. Put the plate you removed back on, slide back into the bench, and again lower it. Repeat this sequence for the desired number of repetitions, as demonstrated by my NFL athlete Bryce Canady. - Joel Seedman, PhD
