CHEST - 7/20/13

As part of your warmup do 3 rounds of:
      Front Squat (unweighted BB) - 10 reps
      Push Press (unweighted BB) - 10 reps
      Pushup (not hand release) - 10 reps

      Rest a minute or so between rounds.

#1  BB Bench Press WITH BANDS for SPEED (no pause)

      Every 30 seconds, do 3 reps.  You will do 8 sets.  Use the same weight for all
      sets.  Load on the bar is 30% of your 1 Rep Max.  We want a quick, controlled
      downward phase, and then an EXPLOSIVE upward phase for all reps.  
      Your last set starts at 3 minutes and 30 seconds.  

#2  BB Rack Press      5-5-5-5-5 reps

      Load:  Set 1 - 55% of 1RM, Set 2 - 60%, Sets 3, 4 + 5 - by feel
      Rest between sets.

#3  Every minute, on the minute, sprint 50 meters - (10 total reps)

      Effort level:  Rep 1 - 60%, Rep 2 - 70%, Rep 3 - 80%, Reps 4 + 5 - 90%
      Reps 6-10 - 100%

#4  Do 3 rounds of:

      BB Ground to Overhead - 5 reps
      EZ Curl Bar Nosebreaker - 15 reps
      REST - 1 minute 
      BB Bench Press (no touch) - 10 reps

      Rest between rounds.  For the "no touch" bench press, keep the bar about 1-3" 
      off your chest at the bottom of each rep.
