Weekend Posts (6.8.13 ARWOD + 6.9.13 MWOD)

Saturday (6/8/13) Recovery

  • Optional cardio + Foam rolling + Broga/Brobility
  • Become a supple leopard— if you have the dispensable income, I highly recommend purchasing this book. The information contained is worth many, many times over $34.

Sunday (6/9/13) Mental Work

Jun 5 2013

6.6.13 SWOD

Warmup

Dynamic

  • EMOM for 8 minutes (EMOM = Every Minute On the Minute)
    • 3 Deadlifts @ 50-60% 1RM
    • Make these reps extremely explosive, release the weight completely between every rep.

Volume (Rest periods should be 60-90 seconds b/t supersets)

Alright you ingrates, this is the last week of this particular SHOULDAZLEGZABZTRAPZ volume workout, so DO IT TO IT. Pack on that weight, push yourself, and feel that muscle growth. This is our time; you were born for this, so go out there and take it!

Motivation

  • This speech was good enough to pump the motley college crew of Americans up to upset the world champion Russians in their hockey Olympic showdown in 1980. It should more than suffice to pump you bros up to take down some iron.

6.4.13 SWOD

Warmup

Dynamic

  • EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute) Flat Bench– 8 sets of 3 @ 50-60% 1RM
    • This weight should feel fairly light. Focus on slowly lowering the bar to your chest and subsequently exploding with full force/velocity on the way back up.
    • Bump the weight up 5 lbs from last week’s dynamic weight.

Volume (Rest periods should be 60-90 seconds b/t supersets)

This is the last week of this particular combination of movements. Push it to the limit and max out that pump potential. Start priming for the peak of summer; this is when the hard work really starts to pay off. Comments like, “Dang brah, have you been working out,” “Broheme, you are huge,” and “Are you doing protein or something now, man?” validate that this is working. (Note that 80-90% of comments about your increased musculature will originate from other males)

5.30.13 SWOD

Warmup

Dynamic

  • EMOM for 8 minutes (EMOM = Every Minute On the Minute)
    • 3 Deadlifts @ 50-60% 1RM
    • Make these reps extremely explosive, release the weight completely between every rep.

Volume (Rest periods should be 60-90 seconds b/t supersets)

Third week of this movement combination for SHOULDAZ, TRAPZ, LEGZ, AND ABZ. Lower the reps from last week. Also, add 5-10 (heck maybe 15 or 20) lbs to weights used last week. I decided to add an additional set to each of the first three supersets for additional volume (and accompanying growth). Push yoself here– hit all those reps and get a prime pump going.

Motivation

  • This gym is nuts. It’s essentially a training center for ninja assassins.

  • Here’s a simple, yet comprehensive guide to healthy grocery shopping for a week of swole meals. CHECK IT OUT.
  • This isn’t mentioned in the video, but make sure to add fats to your shopping list as well: i.e. nuts, avocados, olive oil, hummus, natural peanut butter.
