2 Rounds

10 Empty Barbell Bench Press

MANAGEMENT:

  • Getting the barbells out in the second part will help the transition to the Specific Warm-up

  • Great time to help members with their Bench Press technique

Specific Warm-up

Round 1: 8 Bench Press @40% + 2 Strict Pull-ups or Negatives

Round 2: 6 Bench Press @50% + 3 Strict Pull-ups or Negatives

Round 3: 4 Bench Press @55% + 4 Strict Pull-ups or Negatives

MANAGEMENT:

  • Recommend doing a round every 2:00

  • This warm-up progression will help them build to their starting weight for the working sets

  • Another good time to help members with their bench press technique

Strength

Bench Press 4x8 @60-65%

Strict Pull-ups 4x8 (any reps you cannot complete do jumping negatives)

FOCUS:

  • 10,8,6 week 1…we came down in reps week 2 to go heavier and ended with a finisher set of 10 at slightly heavier week 1…then we did low rep in week 3, but added tempo for increased time under tension…then to a fun complex, now we go back up in reps to really work some strength endurance

  • Strict Pull-ups: complete as many reps of the 8 you can, any reps you can’t do jumping negatives…jump up to chin over bar, slow 3 seconds lowering back down

  • OF NOTE: this week for anyone who cannot yet do a strict pull-up, then do all jumping negatives

WORK/REST RATIO:

  • Alt. every 1:30 for 15 minutes: M1: Bench Press, M2: Pull-ups

Accessory Work

DB Complex: 4 sets

12 Single DB Push-up to Row (12 total push-ups, 6 rows each arm)

12 Single DB Curl to Press (6 each arm)

FOCUS:

  • Complex: use the same weight DB for both movements…reps increased, try to use the same weight as last week or maybe even increase

  • Single DB Push-up to Row: braced, flat back, DB starts in one hand, feet can be spread apart a bit for stability…solid full depth push-up, then row up to your side, complete all push-up to row on one side then the other…12 total push-ups, 6 rows per arm)

  • Single DB Curl to Press: stand tall, core braced, good full range of motion curl into an overhead press, keep it strict, no bro reps

WORK/REST RATIO:

  • Every 3 minutes for 12 minutes…this is enough time for people to share equipment if needed
