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.
5-5-3-3-1-1 – Building finishing RPE 9

*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.
5-5-3-3-1-1 – Building finishing RPE 9

*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets

Seated Arnold 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, raise a dumbbell in each hand to the shoulders with palms facing the body. When pressing overhead, turn the hands during the press to finish with palms facing away from the body. Avoid overextending in the low back during this movement by keeping the core engaged throughout.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Kneeling Banded Hip Extension

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

*Build to a moderate resistance; stay the same or build across sets

Attach a moderate weight band to the rig at knee height. Loop the free end around the body and face away from the rig. Band should be placed across the hip and a kneeling setup position should be assumed. Place a box or band in front of the box to stabilize against with the hands. Extend the hips forward, away from the rig by engaging/squeezing the glutes. Pause momentarily at full extension and return to start position.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Crossover Symmetry Iron Scap Protocol

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.

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

Plate Front Raise

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Focus: Grab a weight plate at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. Keeping the arms extended (but not locked out), raise the plate until the hands reach eye level and then return back down. Athletes should keep the core braced and should not be tempted to go heavier than what they can show control with throughout entire range of motion.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
