9-22-20 Max effort upper body
We have a lot of work today so if you're running short on time, split this workout up into 2 workouts doing a smaller one later in the day.
Warm up
- take a few mins to warm up shoulder, abs, and back. It's important to have your back warmed up well for bench
Main work
- Work up to a 1 rep max floor press
- floor press 3x6x75% of 1 rep max today
Auxiliary work
- db bench press 3x8 - heavy
Take a warm up set if you need to find the right weight. Make sure all 3 working sets are heavy - jm press 5x5 - heavy
If this movement hurts your elbows, sub with a barbell skull crusher. If you're unable to use the barbell for skull crushers switch to db and increase reps - lat pull downs 5x8 - heavy
- db lateral side raises 5x12 - moderate
- db shoulder press 5x8- heavy
- banded tricep pull downs 2x100
