How to Play

A crazy follow up to Athletic Design's classic Bench Press game. Bench Pressing is harder and more dangerous than ever when your left arm is half the size of your right one... To compensate, you must tap the left hand buttons twice as fast! However, if you are really clever you can instead load the bar off-balance by placing weight plates on the RIGHT side.

Tips for Beginners

Do not rush the first attempt; learn movement, timing, and obstacle behavior before chasing a high score.
Watch enemy movement, track curves, or hazard timing for a few seconds before committing to aggressive moves.
Short retries are part of the loop, so treat early mistakes as practice instead of failure.
