Bros' I've got and upcoming max day, what's a good routine(about a week) for bench press to get myself ready, I'm sure this could help many people that wonder the same thing.

Thanks ahead of time

Heavy weight low reps.....

Keep ur reps to 4-6 and increase the weight on ur lifts..... But 4rm my . of view a week is too less for practicing... U should have started atleast 1.5-2 months out... Any ways Best of Luck!

I wouldn't push it, if your planning on maxing out. You need to be completely rested before you PRs. Is it just a max day at the gym or something special?

maniac is right, you need to be rested. i have seen some routines that have you resting a full week before attempting a 1RM.

Most people take the week before a powerlifting contest off. That's the answer above^
