Warm Up

Dynamic Warm Up (7-10 minutes)

Bench Press (Week 2 of 5 Tempo Strength Cycle)

4x5 @41x1

*Rest 60-90sec between sets.

COACH'S NOTES

Primer:

-Perform 6-8 reps of Bench Press with and empty barbell (Or light weight).

-Work on establishing tension by staying tight even before you've intiated your lift.

Focus Points:

-5 Points of contact at all times. These body parts should remain in contact with either the floor or the bench for the entire ROM.

-Left Foot, Right Foot, Butt, Back (Shoulder Blades) and Head.

-Establish a consistent position below the chest where the bar makes contact with the body.

-Shoulder blades should remain down and back the entire time.

-Measure off your grip on both sides to allow for an even/balanced lift.

TEMPO = @41x1

-The first number (4) signifies how many seconds we lower the weight for.

-The second number (1) signifies how many seconds we hold the weight at the chest for.

-The third number/letter (x) simply means press at normal speed.

-The fourth number (1) signifies how many seconds we hold the weight with arms locked out before perfroming the next rep.

COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY/ACTIVATION

3 Sets with a lighter weight andbuilding each set to establish a working weight.

2 Dips (Or SUB)

2 Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans (Or SUB)

4 Dumbbell Deadlifts (Or SUB)

4 Wall Balls (Or SUB)

Focus Points:

-Choose weights on both the dumbbell movements and the Wall Balls that allow for unbroken sets.

-You should be able to move from one exercise to the next with minimal rest.

-This also means that the workout requires a very specific pacing to be able to sustain movement for 10-15 minutes .

-Full range of motion and achieving 90 degrees at the elbow on the dips is a priority.

-Try your best to have consistent transition time and taking that extra breath or two before starting a set is ideal to go unbroken.

Finish under the 15 minute CAP

COACH'S NOTES

FOCUS:

-Today's focus for accessory work is on the chest and shoulders.

-Slow and controlled movements are key and thinking about which muscle groups we are working can be extremely beneficial.

-These accessories help support our bench press.

Dumbbell Fly

-Start by lay down on a bench with a set of dumbbells together over your chest and arms locked out.

-Have a slight bend in the elbows and then lower the dumbbells taking the back of your hand towards the floor.

-Once the weight is around chest height, contract and raise the dumbbells back to the starting position.

Goblet Floor Press

-Begin by laying on your back with shoulder blades retracted down and back and chest up.

-Position a single object/weight directly over the chest with your arms locked out.

-Slowly lower the weight until you feel the triceps touch the floor.

-Maintain scapular retraction and press the weight back up to the starting position.

Dumbbell Lateral Raises

-With a set of dumbbells placed in each hand at your sides, slowly raise them out to your sides until your arms become parallel with the floor.

-Control the weight back down to your sides and repeat.

SUBS
