Does anyone know where I can find Scott Mendelson training articles? I've been unsuccessful at finding anything.

There are plenty of other people's training articles that are just as good as anything Scot is doing. Ryan Kennelly, Jeremy Hoornstra, and even Kaz have some of their past programs available online.

I'm not 100% sure but I remember reading something about Mendelson not publishing his routines due to it possibly hurting his personal training business. He basically doesn't want to give away what he can charge for.

If so, this is not exactly cool. Most of the world champs are very open about their routines and training. PL'ing is pretty much driven by people who give back to the sport (through routines, coaching, and the greatest sacrifice - putting on meets). If this is actually the case, I am disappointed in Mr. Mendelson.

Would be interested to know for sure on this.

You've been unsuccessful because Scot doesn't let his "secrets" out. Don't be fooled. There are no secrets, just people who work hard and work smart. Any routine he used wont work for you.

I think it involves a lot of "pharmaceuticals" and years of lifting heavy

I was asking a legitimate question. Mendelson hold the record in raw benching for a reason. He's the only one that has held records in raw and equipped at the same time.

James Henderson, who previously held the world record with a legitimate paused bench, published his training program in PLUSA.

You are not. What you are wrong about was my intent. I showed that, secondary to a previous post, most world champs actually make an attempt to help out others.

BodyQUICKEN Athlete and Training Profile:

World's #1 Bench-Presser, Scot Mendelson



It's difficult to imagine a 314 lb. man with a six-pack. Then again, it's difficult to imagine any human being bench-pressing over 800 lbs.

Scot Mendelson is an NYU graduate and the world's top bench-presser, with 5 world records and a 782.6 lb. bench-press in competition. He has bench-pressed 830 lbs. in training, more than most professional athletes can squat and deadlift combined.

Although Scot can squat 1,000 lbs., he emphasizes: "I'm a bench-press specialist." For aspiring bench-press specialists and every athlete interested in developing upper-body power, Scot offers 5 tenets he has used to become one of the strongest men in history:

1) Put your back into it:
Big chests do not make big bench-presses. Proper technique makes the primary movers the back (latissimus dorsi), triceps, and rear deltoids. On a standard 15-17" bench, pull your shoulder blades together so the shoulders rest on, and not off, the bench's surface. This shortens the distance from the chest to full extension and eliminates your arms' weakest range of movement.

2) Lift with your legs:
Put your body into a near-full arch when performing a maximal-lift bench-press: support your body on the toes or balls of your feet by putting your feet underneath your body and arching your back. Squeeze the bench between your thighs to stabilize your body and use leg drive to initiate the lift from the bottom.

3) Train for triples:
Dedicate one work-out per week to the bench-press, performing 5-8 sets of 3 reps with 5-7 minutes between sets. Use 60% of your 1-repetition maximum (1RM), adding 5-10% per workout.

4) Emphasize tricep, rear deltoid, and brachialis development:
Following the above 5-8 sets of bench-press, perform one exercise for rear deltoids, one exercise for triceps, and one exercise for the brachialis. Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 2-4 minutes between sets.

Rear deltoids-
Using a seated pec deck machine (used for crossing the arms in front of the body), reverse the motion by facing the opposite direction and moving your arms backwards.

Triceps-
Choose either A) tricep extensions or B) board presses (place a 4x4 board on the chest and perform bench-presses within this partial range of movement).

Brachialis-
The brachialis is a muscle on the outside of the bicep that supports arm movement at the elbow. Perform hammer curls (bicep curls where the thumb is kept pointing to the ceiling and the palm is not turned upward) to address this bodypart.

5) For safety, do not use a "false-grip", where the thumb is placed under, rather than around, the bar:

"Once I was bench-pressing with a false-grip and I got 584 lbs. to lock-out. The spotters thought I had it, so they took their hands away. The bar slipped, and 584 lbs. bounced off of my chest twice. I couldn't breathe properly for 2 months, but I had no broken bones-not even a bruise." Moral of the story: Hold the bar at shoulder-width with your thumb wrapped around the bar-safety is a precursor to efficacy? and results.

Train systematically, train intelligently, and follow the guidelines of the world's #1 bench-presser to actualize your true genetic strength potential.

you should write a training article, i saw what was supposed to be your bench routine on critical bench but I also seen your training log before and it wasnt anything like that.

you should consider putting up more vids on youtube and just puting them so only your friends can view them. I never see any big raw lifts going on anymore.


I rememer reading you would work up to 180'sx10 on shoulder press and that kind of stuff. Just flat out disgusting.
