CHEST - 11/5/13

Warmup - At a comfortable pace, for 5 minutes, do:
      Pullup - 5 reps
      Pushup (not hand release) - 10 reps
      Air Squat - 15 reps

#1  Do 3 rounds of:

      BB Bench Press WITH BANDS for SPEED - 5 reps (35% of bench press 1RM)
      BB Ground to Overhead - 10 reps (50% of clean 1RM)
      REST - 1 minute
      BB Bench Press WITH BANDS for SPEED - 5 reps (35% of bench press 1RM)
      EZ Curl Bar Nosebreaker - 15 reps
      REST - 1 minute

      The weight for the bench press with bands for speed, is light.  The goal here
      is bar speed.  We want a quick, controlled downward phase, and then an 
      EXPLOSIVE upward phase for all 5 reps of each set.  

#2  BB Floor Press      4-4-4-4-4-4 reps

      Start with a weight you can easily manage and then try to add weight each set.
      PAUSE for 2 seconds at the bottom of each rep.  Rest between sets.

#3  Start a timer:

      At 0:00 - 6 reps of Standing BB Shoulder Press AND 15 Burpees
      At 2:00 - 6 reps of BB Push Press AND 15 Hand Release Pushups
      At 4:00 - 6 reps of BB Power Jerk AND 15 reps of DB Incline Bench Press

      Do one more round (the sets will start at 6:00, 8:00, and 10:00).  Then at 12:00,
      do 30 reps of DB Thruster.
