Warmup
- Standard SwoleFIT Warmup
- Focus especially on hip mobility
Dynamic
- EMOM for 7 minutes (EMOM = Every Minute On the Minute)
- 1 Max Effort Vertical Jump (Some good advice: “Fly high, no lie, you know this…hips and thighs, oh my, stay focused.”)
- 3 rack pulls w/ 80-90% Deadlift 1RM
Volume (Increase weights 5-10 lbs from last week)
- [Superset 1- Legs/Shoulders] 3 sets, 8-12 reps
- [Superset 2- Legs/Traps] 3 sets, 12-15 reps
- [Superset 3- Shoulders/Traps] 3 sets, 12-15 reps
- [Superset 4- Abs] 3 sets, 8-12 reps
- Weighted Sit-Ups (put plate behind your head)
- TTB or Lying Leg Raise
- Barbell Ab Rollers (can also be done with ab wheel if you have one)
- Dumbbell Side Bends (20 each side)
Same workout as last week, just added an isolated oblique exercise to the ab circuit. Rest periods between supersets should be 60-90 seconds for max hypertrophy.
Motivation
- This image comes to us courtesy of one our SwoleFIT brothers in Japan, Andoryu0126. I’m sure we’ve all been minding our business, adding full pallets to our semi-truck of swole, and seen this foul play occur at the other end of the gym.
- Oftentimes, it is tempting to walk over and give unsolicited advice. Instead I recommend maintaining your distance, recording a video on your smartphone, and using it as conversational fodder at the bars later.
