Full Body Pull (Upper and Lower Body)

Today is a full-body pull day. This means you will hit some deadlifts and hamstrings alongside upper-body pulling.

The deadlift starts with lower reps in the first couple weeks of this training block.

Although this is a pull day, some tricep work will be slipped into the program. This is not by accident. There is a relatively low volume of ISOLATED triceps earlier in the week, and there is no better way to end the week than with an awesome ARM PUMP.

Station 1: 10 min L

4 Working Sets

10/side Landmine Meadows Row

Keep 10 reps and add more weight in each set

Station 2: 10 min L

4 Working Sets

Deficit Sumo Deadlift

Warm-up Sets:

Warm-up Set – 6 reps  – Easy
Working Sets:

Working Set 1 – 6 reps- RPE 7
Working Set 2 – 5 reps – RPE 7
Working Set 3 – 4 reps – RPE 7
Working Set 4 – 3 reps  – RPE 7

Record all your weights. In 2 weeks use the exact same weight but will increase the reps.

Points we are looking for:

Set-up:

  1. Position your feet wider than shoulder-width apart
  2. Align your toes slightly outward with your knees
  3. Grip the bar inside the knees, with the bar over the middle of your foot

Movement:

  1. Maintain an elevated chest with shoulders back
  2. Begin with your hips low to engage the quads
  3. Use your glutes and hamstrings to extend your hips
  4. Track the barbell close to your body

Regression, if applicable:

  1. Switch to dumbbells
  2. Lighten loads

Station 3: 10 min L

4 sets

1) 15-25 Barbell Curl
2) 15-25 Barbell Skull Crusher

  • Progression Note: Every other week, the reps will decrease to allow for an increase in weight.
  • Loading Note: Perform a few reps of each movement to determine the starting weight. Aim for each set to be to failure.

Station 4: 10 min C

6 ROUNDS (switch arms each round)
• 100m Run
• 5 Single Arm Kettlebell Suitcase Deadlift
• 5 Single Arm Russian KB Swing
• 5 Single Arm Kettlebell Clean

  • Loading Note: This training section will explore some unique kettlebell movements while prioritizing cardiovascular training. Select a weight that allows you to perform each movement unbroken but is challenging enough to force you to focus.
