Bench Press (Take 15:00 to Establish a 1RM Bench Press)

Ideal jumps: 5 reps at 50%, 3 reps at 60%, 3 reps at 70%, 1 rep at 75%, then singles climbing from 80% upward to a true 1RM. Rest should increase progressively as loads increase, with 2 to 3 minutes between singles above 85%.

Modifications:

Level 1: Close Grip Bench Press / Floor Press / Dumbbell Bench Press at a challenging and technically sound load

Hotel Gym / Travel: Take 15:00 to build to a heavy set of 3 Dumbbell Bench Press or Dumbbell Floor Press for the day

Then Get into Strength Piece

Strength: Barbell Front Rack Step-Up (4 Rounds for weight)

4 Sets:

5/5 Barbell Front Rack Step-Ups

Load: Choice

Suggested Loading: 95-115lb (43-52kg) / 65-75lb (30-34kg)
The focus of this piece is single-leg drive with an upright front rack position on every rep. Athletes should establish elbow height and midline tension before stepping up, drive fully through the front heel to stand, and control the descent before the next rep begins. Load selection should reflect a weight that is challenging for the positional demands without compromising the front rack or creating a forward lean through the rep.

Modifications:

Level 1: Goblet Step-Ups with a dumbbell or kettlebell at a manageable load, maintaining the same upright torso and full single-leg drive standard

Hotel Gym / Travel: 4 Sets of 5/5 Dual Dumbbell Front Rack Step-Ups or Single Dumbbell Goblet Step-Ups using a chair, bench, or sturdy elevated surface at a challenging but technically sound load

Goals: 1+ Rounds per set (50+ Reps per set)

Stimulus: Posterior Chain and Leg Stamina

RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Match or exceed your rep count from set one across all three intervals, establishing a controlled pace from the first rep and sustaining it through each 4:00 window.

Secondary Objective: Keep all movements unbroken within each round, using the transition between movements rather than rest mid-set to manage effort.

Gymnastics Skill: Rope Climb (Checkmark)

Spend 10:00 going through progressions based on individual ability. Athletes new to rope climbs work through foot lock mechanics, seated pulls, and partial ascents from a low starting position. Athletes with proficiency focus on J-hook efficiency, a strong leg drive, and a smooth controlled descent with lat tension maintained. All athletes should complete at least 2-3 quality attempts at whatever level is appropriate for them. Quality of movement is the standard, not number of reps.

Modifications:

Level 1: Rope Pull-Ups or Rope Pull to Standing from floor level, developing the pulling pattern and grip mechanics before attempting a full ascent

Hotel Gym / Travel: 3 Sets of 5-7 Strict Pull-Ups or Towel Pull-Ups with a 3-second controlled descent, reinforcing the same lat engagement and grip mechanics targeted in the rope climb progression

Back Squat (Every 2:00 x 4 Sets:
3 Back Squats

% of 1RM Back Squat
Working Load: 80%)

This is the final primer before next week's 1RM Back Squat. These sets are meant to be strong and technically sharp, not maximal. The volume and loading are intentionally manageable. Braced midline, consistent depth, and a powerful drive out of the hole are the priorities on every rep. Athletes should finish all four sets feeling primed and confident, not fatigued.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 2:00 x 4 Sets: 5 Back Squats at a load that allows full depth and clean mechanics across all four sets, building slightly across the window if positions are strong

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 2:00 x 4 Sets: 5 Dual Dumbbell Goblet Squats or Dual Dumbbell Front Squats at a challenging load, maintaining the same technical priorities of braced midline and consistent depth
