This program is one of the very few Listhen solutions designed for amateurs in the world of fitness and the gym; you don't have to be an expert in bench press or have been training for years: the Bench Specialist is the first step on a path to improve your physique.
LISTHEN BENCH SPECIALIST
YOUR FIRST STEP TO BENCH PRESS
WHO IS MATTEO MARZOLLA
Hi, let me introduce myself.
My name's Matteo Marzolla, I'm Powerlifting athlete and last year, even if I was 23, I became the Italian Deadlift Champion.
Don't worry though, I won't talk you about breaking national records, I rather wanna give you some tips to break your personal records.
We all have our own starting and arrival points: our goals.
I have my own too: I didn't become national champion overnight; I started from scratch, each time setting a bigger goal.
Maybe you've just joined the gym, or maybe you've already been training for a few years; whatever your level is, if you aren't a professional athlete but still want to improve yourself, I might have what's right for you.
WHAT WE MADE
In fact, in Listhen (my strength sports company) we usually make specific products for professional athletes.
However, we realized that we were closing doors to anyone wanted to approach this world for the very first time, to anyone who got lost in the mess of training sheets bought at the gym.
So we decided to create this program, the Bench Specialist, specifically made for anyone who wants to approach the strength world.
And I tell you what: if at the end of this 14-week journey you haven't improved or you haven't reached a new PR, just text me by email to get a full refund*.
I care a lot about transparency so if you're not satisfied, I'll be the first to apologise.
BENEFITS OF BENCH PRESS
The flat bench press, or simply "bench press", is a fundamental exercise in weight training and brings benefits that often go beyond the purely physical level.
Main benefits of the bench press are:
Development of chest strength, as the lift mainly involves the pectoralis major muscles
Improved trunk stability, since during a correct bench press we strengthen the stability of the core
Increased metabolism, which is a general benefit of weight training
Sense of accomplishment, as we improve our strength and body shape through training, which leads to greater personal satisfaction
Development of discipline, since we get used to follow a schedule consistently, improving our discipline also in other aspects of everyday life
So, the flat bench is the fundamental exercise for those who decide to start weight training, with an easier execution than other more elaborate exercises.
However, since it's a demanding and potentially dangerous exercise, it requires correct execution to prevent it from leading to injuries of any kind.
If you're planning to undertake a training journey that includes bench press, inside of the Bench Specialist you'll find a video guide where I'll explain you how to perform this exercise safely, minimizing risks and increasing muscles.

FAQ
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM MADE FOR?
WHICH FORMAT IS THE SHEET?
This program is delivered via a PDF file, which can be opened using any pdf viewer program; inside the file you'll also find two informative videos, one shows you how to make the most out of the program and the other will show you how to perform a deadlift safely.
DO I HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM OR CAN I WORK OUT FROM HOME?
You'll definitely find anything you need in gym, but you can also train from home.
The certain thing is, since it's a bench press, that you must have a flat bench, barbell and weight plates available to be able to load training weight.
*HOW DOES THE FULL REFUND WORK?
After buying the course, I expect you to apply yourself by following the illustrated programming.
If for any reason, after 14 weeks of training you're not improved without even making a new PR, email us at info@listhen.it telling your experience with the program and we'll issue a full refund within 7 working days.
