Warmup
Strength
- Incline Bench
- 3 warmup sets, 5 reps each @ 50% 1RM
- 5 working sets, 5 reps each @ ~70% Flat Bench 1RM
- Weighted Chin-Ups: 5 sets of 3, heavy weight, but don’t go to absolute failure
- If you don’t have a belt for weighted movements, you can just grab a dumbbell between your feet.
- For both of these exercises, rest around 3 minutes between working sets.
Conditioning
- 5 rounds: 10 bent over barbell row (95#), 10 close-grip pushups, 10 Zottman curls (35#), 10 burpees
- Prescribed rest (b/t rounds): 30-60 seconds
