An interesting article from the British Powerlifting Congress; Powerlifters take on getting big.

Note in particular his recommendation of straight sets with a fixed weight rather than ascending sets.

Bent Press

This is the first time I’ve seen a video of a bent press;

175 pound Bent Press

I’ve tried the lift before but found it very awkward so this video maybe something to help. Note how he talks about moving away from the weight.
