TO NOTE:
  • Bench Press Progression – In total you will perform 7x sets, five of which being Working Sets. You take the Max weight you’ve ever lifted for reps (2+ reps) as your Training Max and then add weight to the bar progressively from 50% to 105%. You’ll look to do 4-6 clean reps for eat set, and then as many as possible on the last 105% lift, which may on be a couple. The idea is to progress your training max by some small degree every 1-2 weeks.
  • Mobility & Pre-Activation – The idea is to work on dynamic stretches and short power work to warm up your limbs into full range of motion and to do a little work on muscle recruitment timing. This will help you feel mentally and physically prepared for your working sets. That said, what you choose to do will depend on your weaknesses or mobility issues.
  • Cardio – Very little in the way of cardio. Honestly, if you go full out on this workout, you’ll not have the capacity for anymore. The intent of the cardio finisher is simply some light active recovery. To get the blood flowing into your limbs and begin the process of flushing out the metabolic waste buildup. Do too much cardio and it will be catabolic – not good.
