The Bench Press Club offers an opportunity for all members of the Rutgers community to challenge themselves and stay accountable to a consistent weight training routine.
All club members have completed eight reps on the bench press using proper form. The weight lifted is based on an individual's body weight. Several tests are provided each semester.
Club members are challenged to push themselves and aim for new PRs. All club members earned a t-shirt for their participation and hard work.
