Specific Warm Up


The major point of this workout is to give everything you’ve got to the Strict Press. The idea will be to get in 5 sets of 10, as heavy as you can. Hint: this will be embarrassingly light. Ha!


So for the specific warm up, just get in some empty bar or light dumbbell strict presses and then start working your way up to what you think you can use for the working sets.



Workout of the Day



5 x 10



3 x 8-12


Superset x 4



Workout Notes


This workout is very straightforward and should be very satisfying! Start by doing 5 sets of Strict Presses. I would rest at least 2min between sets. I personally like to set a clock for every 3min or every 4min and every time it beeps, I do a set. This is a very easy, pressure free way to control your session. Enjoy the rest time!


After the strict pressing, do 3 sets of 8-12 pullovers. Any variation will do!


After that, end your session with a nice little 4 round superset. Do 8-12 bicep curls, then go right into a 30 second hollow hold (or less than :30, depending on your level) and then knock out :30 of bicycle crunches. That’s one set. Do that 4 times, resting whenever you’d like!



No accessory work today! This session is nice and complete as is. Enjoy the lifting day!



Cool Down


1-2min of Chest Stretches
