Powerbuilding 1

[Cole123]

Currently running strength 1 template but as looking through my old progress logs I think I have done the wrong exercise on day 3 exercise 3 lol not that’s it’s made a difference as I have made progress and hasn’t hindered my progress.

On the first phase of of powerbuilding 1 day 3 exercise 3 it says dumbbell press or press no belt I thought they meant flat dumbbell bench press but after re reading I believe they meant dumbbell OHP lol what did you guys do ?

I had exactly this confusion too when I first read it. The only reason I caught it is it didn't make sense to me that incline/close grip press is the exercise on that same day right before it and it didn't make sense to me to have two chest pressing exercises on day 3 on none on day 1. The words, "overhead" or "shoulder" usually help me distinguish.

So I understand what you are saying but on the second phase of the program you do x2 chest exercises back to back which is 2ct bench followed by incline DB bench. That is why I assumed it was either a DB bench press or OHP.

I believe this is a holdover from the previous association with Starting Strength.

"Press" = Overhead Press.
"Bench" = Bench Press.

Huh, guess I'm only at week 3 and hadn't looked ahead far enough XD . I took a look and see that now.
