Upper Body Main Lifts

Strict Press 5x3 @75-85%

Strict Pull-ups 5x5

FOCUS:

  • Reps dropped on Strict Press, increased weight

  • Reps increased on Pull-ups

  • Record your weight for each set, there is an extra spot to record weight on pull-ups if need it

WORK/REST RATIO:

  • Recommend doing both movements every 2:30 for 12:30

SCALING:

  • Negative Pull-ups are a great option (VIDEO)…jump to get chin over the bar, 3-5 second count on the way down

  • This can also be a time to help those get the proper band and educate on how to select one as the reps increase over this cycle

NO BARBELL/RIG OPTION:

  • Double DB Alternating Strict Press 5x8 (4 each arm), they DBs start in the up/overhead position, one at a time alternate on the press for 10 total, 5 each arm

  • Ring Rows 5x12

Upper Body Accessory Work

Single DB Bench Press 4x10 (5 each arm)

Single KB Bent Over Rows 4x10 (5 each arm)

Single DB Chest Flys 4x10 (5 each arm)

Single DB Reverse Flys 4x10 (5 each arm)

FOCUS:

  • Horizontal push and pull with bench and rows

  • Working a different plant of movement with the flys and now single arm

  • Reps dropped, try to increase weight

WORK/REST RATIO:

  • Would Recommend doing an Alt. EMOM 8 for the bench and rows then an Alt. EMOM 8 for the chest flys and reverse flys
