ME Bench – Giant Foam Block Press
By · CommentsForgot to post this the other day but here is what we did
Giant Foam Block - up to 1 rep max
I hit 815 which is a 40lb pr. I have no clue what anyone else did. I know Travis hit more than me and that everyone else hit less…haha
I like this movement as it is almost like a shirted press minus the shirt.
JM Press with small cambered bar – 5×10
The cambered bar allows for more range of motion which makes this movement a ton harder and really blows up the elbows.
Rows on Reverse Hyper – 3×10
Max Effort Rack Pull
By · CommentsWith Luke in the hospital and Tony not back from LA it was a little quiet in the gym this morning. With circa max coming up next week typically we will deload this week & next Monday to prepare. I didn’t want to totally skip ME work so I picked pulls off pin 4 (just below knee cap) as this is a “easier” exercise on the CNS I find.
Pulls off pin 4
Shane 675
Shack 705
AJ 805
Goal was to get 800+ in my hands and hold it at the top which I did. I also think this was a pr for me.
Plyo Swing Leg Press – 3×10
Reverse Hyper – 3×10
Abductors – 3×10
Hanging leg raises (toes-to-bar) – 5×5
