#1  BB Bench Press WITH BANDS for SPEED (Load is 50% of Bench 1RM)

      Every minute, on the minute, do 3 reps.  Do 6 total sets.

      then 18 goblets squats, etc.

#3  BB Floor Press      2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

      Start with a weight you can easily manage and then add weight each set.
      Remember to come to a complete stop at the bottom of each rep.  Don't
      bounce your elbows/triceps off the floor.  

#4  BB Ground to Overhead       1-2-3-4-5-6-7 reps
      Double Under                        40-35-30-25-20-15-10 reps
