Friday 13-Sep-2024: AES-13-W.1-D.5

Upper Body:

Tip:

On Saturdays, we will be focusing on the following:

Strength Intensity 1: A vertical push variation will occur each week. Each week will alternate between a barbell press and a dumbbell press. The barbell press will include slight weekly variations to challenge the pressing motion.

Strength Intensity 2: This section will complement the first section nicely. The first section includes a vertical push, and the second will consist of a pulling superset. Each pulling exercise will emphasize a slightly different plane of motion.

Strength Balance: This section will emphasize the areas that have yet to be worked thus far on this day. The chest and delts will be hit using a pushup variation and a shoulder raise.

Core: Finish with old-school abdominal exercises each week for a strong stimulus.
