#1  BB Bench Press          1-1-1-1-1 rep

      We are going for a 1 Rep Max here.  Start with a weight you can easily 
      manage and then try to increase weight each set.  We will post our results.

#2  BB Bench Press - Going to Failure + Spotter Assisted Reps - 2 sets

      Set 1 - Put 80% of your new 1RM on the bar and do as many complete reps
            as you can.  Then, with help from the spotter, do 2 assisted reps.

      Set 2 - Same as set 1, but with 70% of your 1RM.

      The spotter needs to help the lifter keep the bar moving for the assisted reps.
      Don't let the lifter completely stall out.  The lifter has to work, 
      but keep the weight moving.
      Rest between sets.  

#3  Start a timer.
      At the beginning of every EVEN minute, do 8 reps of BB Incline Press.
      At the beginning of every ODD minute, do 12 reps of DB Thruster.

      Do 8 total sets (4 sets of BB Incline Press and 4 sets of DB Thruster).

#4  Pushup (1.5 REP) - 50 reps

      Taking turns with a partner, do 5 reps at a time until each partner has 
      completed 50 reps. Your work:rest ratio should be 1:1.  Your rest is when 
      your partner is working.

      1 rep of the 1.5 rep pushup = starting at the bottom of the pushup position: 
      a) press halfway up
      b) come back down to the bottom position
      c) press all the way up to lockout
      d) come back down to the bottom position
