This is the program I used to get my bench press + 400lbs and deadlift 675# while training for my first 50k.
This is a 12 Week Hybrid Program that will develop strength in the deadlift and bench press and build metabolic endurance up to 50k distance. Details Below:
Primary:
1. Peak Bench Press and Deadlift
2. Develop aerobic ability and tissue tolerance to withstand upwards of 50k in ultra distance.
Secondary:
1. Squat Strength
2. Back and posterior chain hypertrophy
