🚨 GENERATION II IS HERE. 🚨

The evolution of The Launch Pad® has officially begun.

As of today, The Launch Pad® Generation II is live and available for purchase on our website, and it is officially replacing the original.

That means: When you purchase The Launch Pad®, you are receiving Generation II.

We are no longer selling the original version.

You will still see “The Launch Pad” listed as the product while we continue updating the site, but rest assured, every order ships as The Launch Pad® Generation II.

——————————————————————————————

Over several years, we’ve listened closely to coaches, athletes, tactical units, and everyday lifters. Your feedback mattered. We made refinements that we’re incredibly proud of, subtle, intentional upgrades that elevate performance, positioning, and feel to another level.

Here’s what’s new with Gen II:

• Additional contouring (subtle middle torso twist) to improve leg & foot positioning, especially for chest-supported rows and accessory work
• Rounded top corners for enhanced range of motion during head- and chest-supported pulls
• Improved lumbar integration for stronger tactile feedback and better positioning
• Refined taper geometry for smoother upper-back transitions
• Softened edges & corners for improved comfort and finish quality
• Integrated molded high-traction surface texture for enhanced stability and consistent setup

This isn’t just a cosmetic refresh.
It’s a performance refinement.

Gen I laid the foundation.
Gen II raises the standard.

We can’t wait for you to feel the difference for yourself!

🔥 Event Announcement!

On November 8th, Kyle Young — Director of Education and Team USA Head Coach for USPA Powerlifting, and Founder of Dream Team Performance — and Andrew Harvot — Co-Founder & CEO of Advanced Muscle Mechanics and inventor of The Launch Pad® — will be teaming up at the NSCA Florida State Clinic at the University of Central Florida for a special hands-on presentation you won’t want to miss! 💪⚡

They’ve prepared an exciting, interactive session that dives deep into performance, biomechanics, and training innovation — offering something valuable for every coach, athlete, and strength professional in attendance.

If you’re in or around Central Florida, make sure to stop by! It’s going to be an incredible experience, and both Andrew and Kyle are looking forward to contributing to an unforgettable event and connecting with the community.

The bench press hasn’t truly changed in over 100 years… until now.
From George Hackenschmidt’s 1898 “Supine Press” to today’s cutting-edge Launch Pad™, this is the complete story of bench press history — the milestones, the biomechanics, and the breakthroughs that finally moved it forward.

📜 Evolutionary Timeline: Major Milestones in Bench Press History.

- 1898–1905: Hackenschmidt’s “Supine Press” — Floor-based pressing restricted scapular motion but created the foundational pattern (Todd, 1995).

- 1900s–1910s: Floor Press Variations — Platforms emerged to extend range of motion.

- 1920s–1930s: Simple Benches — Wood/metal benches, often without uprights (Todd, 1995).

- 1930s–1950s: Standardization — Integrated uprights; bench press surpasses standing presses (Barnett et al., 1995).

- 1950s–1960s: Competitive Adoption — Powerlifting cements the bench as a core lift (Duffey & Challis, 2007).

- 1970s–2000s: Incremental Tweaks — Wider pads, incline/decline, better cushioning (Freedman, 2016; Reinold et al., 2004).

- Early 21st Century: Biomechanics First — Focus shifts to scapular freedom & spinal alignment (Park et al., 2019; Yildiz et al., 2020).

- Present Day: The Launch Pad™ — A first-principles redesign integrating ergonomics, biomechanics, and neuromuscular optimization.

Learn how bench press design has evolved (or failed to evolve) for over a century.

Understand the biomechanical limitations of traditional benches

See how The Launch Pad™ solves problems lifters didn’t even know they had!

07/23/2025

Peer-reviewed and performance-proven.

After conducting five independent studies, a leading research professor concluded:

“The Launch Pad™ is what the traditional bench press should have evolved into.”

Engineered for biomechanical precision, joint protection, and superior muscular activation, The Launch Pad™ redefines the press from setup to lockout, unlocking performance advantages no flat bench can match.

✅ Increases pectoral activation
✅ Frees scapular movement
✅ Reduces joint stress
✅ Boosts range of motion and strength

More strength. Less stress. The way pressing was meant to be.

This isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a biomechanical correction that’s nearly a century overdue.

Your ability to isolate your biceps depends on how well you stabilize your shoulder. That’s why most lifters train arms, but few actually isolate them.

The Advanced Muscle Mechanics Launch Pad changes that.

Engineered with intention, its downward-sloping top and chamfered side panels create a uniquely supportive surface that fits seamlessly into your armpit, aligning your humerus and locking your shoulder in place for laser-focused isolation.

✅ Stabilizes your shoulder complex.
✅ Eliminates extraneous body movements.
✅ Maximizes biceps tension.
✅ Builds a stronger mind-muscle connection.

Drop it on an incline bench.
Lean in. Lock in.
And curl with intention.

Because when your setup and position are dialed in, your performance follows.

📣 STUDY DROP: How The Launch Pad Transformed Bench Press Gains by 66%🔥

New research from UCLA proves it — The Launch Pad™ isn't just a gimmick.

In a 4-week study, lifters using The Launch Pad with eccentric overload increased their 1-rep max 66% more than those on a traditional flat bench.

✅ Better scapular movement
✅ Increased pressing range of motion
✅ Reduced shoulder joint stress
✅ Stronger, safer, smarter benching

For coaches, athletes, lifters & anyone chasing gains without wrecking their shoulders — this is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

It’s not just a pad—it’s a performance system.

For nearly 100 years, we’ve been lifting on the same outdated surface: wood planks, cheap foam, and vinyl slapped onto a frame. From your typical machine press to Olympic benches, they all compromise your body’s natural alignment in favor of ‘one-size-fits-none’ support.

The Launch Pad™ changed that.

We engineered the first ergonomically optimized, biomechanically correct universal support system—built to improve joint alignment, posture, and muscle engagement across every lift: chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs, even abs.

Better positioning isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of performance. Setup matters. Stabilization matters. And position precedes performance.

While others tape foam rollers to pec decks, rig makeshift pads onto benches, or claim they’ve “been doing it since ‘09,” we actually built the system—validated by research, protected by U.S. Patent No. 12,115,411, and used by elite strength coaches, pro athletes, and U.S. Special Operations.

We weren’t the first to slap foam on a bench—we were the first to design one that puts the human body first.

The Launch Pad™—Your Body. In Its Prime Position. Every Time.
