30Nov12: Friday-Strength and some Tough Conditioning.

Strength

1) Every 15 seconds for 5 minutes (21 total reps):

1 Banded Deadlift @ 60% Bar Weight + 25% Band Tension

Notes: The bar should be loaded with 60% of the 1RM Deadlift. Band tension should equal 25% of 1RM at the top of the lift. Judging band weight and setup is explained in this DEMO VIDEO

If setting up bands is a bit too difficult I would set up bar w/ about 75-80% of 1RM

2) Bench Press: 1X8 @ 70%, 1X5 @ 75%, 1X5 @ 80%, 1X3 @ 90%, 1X3 @ 95%, 1X3 @ 100% – based off heaviest set from 121116, rest 60-90 seconds.
These % are based on a date we were on 'holiday' which was a 7x2 'as heavy as possible'.   Based on this you may want to base it off your 1RM and subtract 10%.

Notes: All reps must be performed with the hips (ass) in contact with the bench.
