#1  BB Bench Press with ISOMETRIC PAUSE         3-3-3-3 reps

      When you pause at the bottom for 2 seconds, the bar is NOT touching your chest.
      Keep the bar at least an inch or two from your chest.  

      Be thoroughly warmed up before you start #1.  Start with a weight you can easily
      manage and then add weight each set.  Rest between sets.

      BB Bench (TOP 1/2 of the range of motion) - 5 reps
      BB Bench (BOTTOM 1/2 of the range of motion) - 5 reps

      Goblet Squat                         5-10-15-20-25 reps

      THERE IS A VIDEO OF THIS ONE ON THE EXERCISE DEMO PAGE

      Do 5 sets of:  1 rep of behind the neck split jerk followed by 1 rep of standard 
      split jerk.  Rest between sets.  Start with a light weight and then increase weight
      each set.

      BB Waiter's Walk - 50 meters
      Medicine Ball Wall Toss - 20 reps

      Sprint - 50 meters

      Rest between rounds.

#2  BB Back Squat          3-3-3-3 reps

      For each set, pause for 3 seconds at the bottom of THE FIRST TWO REPS.
      NO PAUSE on the third rep of each set.  This is a progression.  Try to add 
      weight each set.  Rest between sets.

#3  Start a timer.  At the start of every minute, do 2 reps of BB Squat Clean at 
      65% of your 1RM.  In between each set of cleans, you are doing burpees.  
      You are done with #3 when you have completed 60 burpees.  

BACK          11/5/12

#1  Sledgehammer Vs. Tire (VERTICAL SWING, 12-6 o'clock)

      One minute left-handed and one minute right-handed.  Just one round.

#2  Every minute, on the minute, do:  BB Deadlift (65% of your 1RM) - 3 reps
      Every minute, on the half-minute, do:  Pullup - 6 reps

      It should look like this:
      0:00 - deadlift - 3 reps
      0:30 - pullup - 6 reps
      1:00 - deadlift - 3 reps
      1:30 - pullup - 6 reps
      ......continuing this pattern until you have done 10 sets of each exercise.  
      Your last set will start at the 9:30 mark.  Start strict and then switch to
      kipping when necessary.

      TRY TO USE A DIFFERENT GRIP FOR EACH SET OF PULLUPS.
      You can go wider, more narrow, overhand, underhand, alternating,
      or any other variation. 

      If you don't have a recent 1RM for deadlift, you can take your 10RM from 10/8/12
      and divide that number by 0.75.  This will give you an estimate of your 1RM.  

#3  Sledgehammer Vs. Tire (HORIZONTAL Swing)

      One minute left-handed and one minute right-handed. Just one round.  
      There is a video on the exercise demo page for this one.  

CHEST          11/4/12

#1  BB Close Grip Bench Press

      Set 1 - (1.5 REP) - 10 reps, where the half-rep is the TOP HALF of the range of
                  motion.  So 1 full rep = halfway down, back up, then all the way down, and
                  back up.
      Set 2 - PAUSE - 10 reps
      Set 3 - 5 seconds on the eccentric (lowering) phase of each rep - 5 reps
      
      Set up with the grip you would normally use, then move each hand in about 4".
      So, if your hands are normally 24" apart for BB Bench Press, they will be 16" apart
      for close grip.

      DB Incline Bench Press - 90 seconds
      REST - 1 MINUTE

#2  BB Power Jerk          3-3-3-3 reps

      Rest between sets.  This is a progression.  Start with a weight you can easily
      manage and then increase weight each set.  Your foot position for the power jerk 
      is the same as it is for a clean.  (Your feet start hip-width apart, and then for
      the catch, you land with your feet about shoulder-width apart.)

      BB Push Press - 5 reps
      Hold BB locked out overhead - 5 seconds
