Benchuary Strikes Again!

Todays lift included 21 total reps of bench press, students got to choose between four different repetition schemes to get all of the reps done.

Fourth Hour (pictured) brought the juice and had great energy for each other through the lift.

This photo shows a high school–style weight room during what appears to be a strength training class. In the foreground, a teenage boy is lying on a flat bench performing a barbell bench press inside a black power rack. The barbell is loaded with large black weight plates on both sides. A second student stands closely behind the bench, acting as a spotter and watching the lift carefully. The lifter is wearing a blue T-shirt, gray athletic shorts, black socks, and black training shoes. To the right edge of the image, another teenage boy stands near a separate rack, facing toward the lifter. He is wearing a light gray T-shirt and appears to be observing or waiting for his turn. In the background, several other students are scattered around the room. Some are walking between racks, while others stand near benches and weight trees holding stacked plates. There are multiple squat racks and benches lined up in rows, each equipped with barbells and plates. The flooring is black rubber with colored tape squares marking lifting stations. Mounted high on the back wall is a digital timer displaying “00:47” in bright red numbers, suggesting a timed workout interval. Above it hangs a banner with motivational wording about the weight room. The walls are light-colored cinderblock, and the ceiling is high with exposed white beams and industrial lighting. Overall, the scene conveys an organized, supervised strength training session with multiple students actively engaged in lifting and moving between stations.
