Build up to first working set of bench press and get set up with class!

Bench Press (10-5-8-4-6-3)

Similar to yesterday’s deadlifts, our strength will play on this “rise and fall” rep scheme through working sets with varying movements to build both volume and overall strength!*

Rest 3:00 between sets, all sets must be working sets, this means hard. Don’t know where to start? Open with 10 at around 65-70% and adjust from there.

Today we attack the upper body in the form of bench press, then tack on a mere 150 push ups to follow. The pump will be felt and soreness throughout the week will likely follow. Remember soreness is good, and ok, but should be monitored. The goal with a day like today is to build a baseline of strength and endurance that doesn’t allow pressing stamina to be a limiter as much as it currently may be for some. Scale the workout today first by reducing the load of the push up by dropping to knees or “worming up” and keeping the double unders as a skill even if that means reducing the amount of reps done.

Cool Down (Checkmark)
