The winner will then be determined by the highest percentage based upon their 1RM relative to their bodyweight. (1RM=300lbs, body weight=180lbs, 300/180=166.7%).

Sign up for the Big Red Bench Off starts on October 15th. Walk-ins are welcome, but subject to availability. To make an appointment, or for more information, stop by the Health and Fitness Lab (room 20A in the Preston Center).

  • Feet must remain flat on the floor at all times.
  • Participants must show control of the weight at all times while lowering the bar to touch the chest and back to full elbow extension (no bouncing!!)
