Five sets of the triple,
Sit-up
Back extension
Bench-press 5-10RM
Move methodically, deliberately, with precise SLOW movement.
Don't hurry; minimize the cardiovascular quality.
This is strength training only! Make each effort a serious challenge.
Five sets of the triple,
Sit-up
Back extension
Bench-press 5-10RM
Move methodically, deliberately, with precise SLOW movement.
Don't hurry; minimize the cardiovascular quality. This is strength training only!
Make each effort a serious challenge.
After a warm-up make your first effort a heroic effort on the bike
and record the distance. Take any rest needed and give the best
dumbbell bench-press you can at fifteen reps or less. Again, rest
as long as you want then repeat both efforts. Use the same
weight for each bench press set.
If the first cycling and bench-press effort are true max efforts, then
the second and third efforts are not repeatable no matter how long the rest.
To test the quality of the first efforts and demonstrate the point of the
workout take a LONG break after each couplet.
Keep the rest between cycle effort and bench-press constant for each couplet.

This is a really tough day. Don't hold back.
Tomorrow is met-con only, so you will be able to rest your arms, back, and shoulders.
You are getting a small taste of the demands of a gymnast's workout.
