Strength is a skill

For athletes, coaches, and strength enthusiasts, building strength is a process of consistent practice, appropriate loading, repeatable technique, and recovery. AMM treats the equipment surface as one variable in that system. The Launch Pad® provides a different contact condition for selected training sessions, while the Standard Flat Bench remains the specificity baseline for conventional practice and testing.

How to Use It

The Launch Pad® can add a different contact condition and exercise variety for pressing and supported training. Its contoured geometry, indexed lumbar support, and rigid surface are designed to change setup and available clearance. Start with manageable loads, control the range you can own, and keep the Standard Flat Bench in the program when competition or testing specificity matters. The published studies did not measure pain, injury incidence, joint forces, rehabilitation, or hypertrophy.
