FULL Body Push
Today is a full-body push day. That means you will perform upper-body pushing movements and lower-body squatting movements. Today includes a mix of bench pressing, split squats, dips, and goblet squats. Aim to push the weight and intensity in the strength intensity sections and then focus on quality mechanics and adherence to the tempo in the strength balance section.

The conditioning section. In this first week, try to go slower than you think you need to, and then gauge how you can improve upon that pace in the coming weeks

Station 1 L

4 WORKING SETS

Dumbbell Bench Press

10I8I6 reps then drop back to weight of set 1 and AMRAP

Progression Note: The bench variation will change weekly in weeks 1-3 and then repeat in weeks 4-6. The reps will decrease in the latter weeks of the progression.

Front Rack Drop Lunge

  • Working Set 2 – 9 reps/side – same weight
