INSTRUCTIONS
These are intended to give you a great “pump” for the day. They are a mix of bodybuilding type movements, some CrossFit style structure and/or movements, and aerobic work.
The intensity is designed to just be MODERATE! It is so you can come and do a workout to get a “pump”, sweat some and get out of breath. Ideally you can hit these with friends as well!
Many of these are from, or built off of, recent workouts Rich has done. You can come and do them on a day when you aren’t feeling like doing as much intensity with our other more CrossFit based tracks, or when you want to change up your bodybuilding style. Have fun with them!
Do NOT perform this with the rest of the bodybuilding track. It is meant to be done alone for the day. We recommend performing these as the ONLY bodybuilding for this day and the following day (i.e. if you do all 3 functional pumps in a week, we don’t recommend doing any other bodybuilding, except for the 3 power lifts – Squat, Deadlift & Press).
()
Bodybuilding RPE Scale
RPE 1-3 || This should be a weight that an athlete can move with ease throughout the intended rep range.
RPE 4-5 || This is a weight that provides a moderate amount of resistance but the athlete feels like they could double the intended rep range with the weight they chose
RPE 6-7 || This is a moderate-moderate/heavy weight for the athletes. This should provide a challenge for the intended rep range but should not be something that they are worried of failing. The rest needed between sets should be minimal.
RPE 8-9 || This is a near maximal effort for the intended rep range. Athletes should need and want adequate amount of rest between the sets at this RPE.
RPE 10 || This is a max effort for the intended rep range. The athlete should be fully taxed at the end of each set.
Glutes and Shoulders Warm-up (Checkmark)
Hip Halo Warmup
-into-
2 rounds
10 PVC pass throughs
5 PVC around the worlds (each direction)
10 Arm circles (each direction)
5 Down dog/seal pose transitions
Focus: Move with intention and take machine work at an easy/moderate pace
Focus: Move with intention and focus on each movement you are performing
Shoulder Press
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
Focus: Take barbell from the rig. Keep abs and glutes engaged to prevent over-extension of the low back. Use a slightly staggered stance if needed to prevent over extension. Barbell should make contact with the upper chest/shoulders between reps but you should not lose tension between reps by resting the bar in the front rack. Attempt to add a small increase from previous week’s loading.
5-3-1-1-1 – start at 65% building to 9/10 RPE
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
Weighted Hip Thrust
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Set up and brace a bench to prevent it from tipping. Put a hip halo just above your knees drive out on the band throughout the movement. Using either a barbell or heavy dumbbell across the hips, place the upper back on the bench. Place feet squat width apart and drive through the heels to elevate the hips until extension is reached. Keep the glutes engaged during entire extension to prevent overextension of the lower back. Use an extra t-shirt or towel to provide padding if barbell/dumbbell is uncomfortable when loaded.
5-3-1-1-1 – start at 65% building to 9/10 RPE
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
Double DB Z-Press
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across
Focus: From a seated position with legs extended in front, press both DB’s overhead. Choose a weight that will allow quality range of motion without cheating by leaning, etc. This movement can be very challenging so don’t go heavier without attempting a few reps with lighter weight first.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Deficit Sumo DB/KB Deadlift
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across
Focus: Feet should be in a wider than shoulder width stance and turned out. Feet should be on elevated surfaces with open space below the body for DB to pass through. Hold DB by one head and sumo deadlift. DB/KB does NOT have to make contact with the floor for full ROM. Squeeze glutes to stand up.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Crossover Symmetry Iron Scap Protocol (Checkmark)
Complete Iron Scap Protocol:
Archer: 10 reps (each side) – Heavy Band
Pulldown: 10 reps – Heavy Band
Tiger Walk: 20 reps (each side) – Heavy Band
WY Negative: 10 reps – Light Band
Snow Angel: 10 reps – LIght Band
Bear Hug: 10 reps – Heavy Band
ATYT: 10 reps – Light Band
Focus: Use band weight that is challenging but allows for quality of movement.
Athletes Notes
Crossover Symmetry
Focus: Use band weight that is challenging but allows for quality of movement. If you do not have access to a crossover symmetry set, substitute 4 sets of 10 bent over lateral dumbbell raises.
GHD Hip Extension
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Set up GHD so hips are slightly past the hip pad. Go down to 90 degrees and raise to parallel. Avoid using excessive momentum to complete reps and squeeze glutes at the top of each rep. If you do not have access to a GHD you can sub Barbell Good Mornings.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Ring Y Raise
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Setup up a pair of rings around waist height. Grab a ring in each hand and, keeping the arms straight, lean back away from the rings with arms in front of the body. Pull the rings back/overhead with straight arms into a Y position until locked out overhead. Position of the feet should be far enough from the rings that tension can still be felt in the shoulders throughout the movement but close enough that movement is able to be controlled at all times.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
