Coach’s Notes
Let’s start with Bench. We’re building up to 80% and then we’re waving sets of 2, 3 and 4. Working up to 4, dropping back to 2 and then working up to 4 again.
This rep scheme is almost as much mental as it is physical. A set of 4 at 80% is a very challenging set, and to have to mentally prepare yourself for that set (and the build up to it) twice is much different than how most rep schemes generally work.
After Bench, we’ve got some more Pressing along with some One Arm Rows. A set of 20 is… well, a lot, so try not to underestimate how difficult that first set of 20 is going to be. Better to start on the lower side and build up in weight rather than hit the wall on set 1.
Finally, after some Curls, we’ve got some 80-yard Sprints (summer is coming). For those of us that don’t sprint often – get in a good warm-up, build up slowly and keep your pace manageable. Don’t need any pulled hamstrings out there!
