TIME CAP: 18min

Sweat:

Little different kind of pace workout than usual because of the length and amount of movements from yesterday.

While yesterday was a long grinder, today is a bunch of short sprints with rest. NEEDED. So make sure you go hard on those sections and earn that rest. With the right intensity, you’ll get a lot out of today.

3 Rounds:
1min. of max effort Alt. DB Snatches
15sec. Transition
1min. of max Cals on the Bike or Row
15sec. Transition
1min. of max DB Sit-Ups
Rest 2min.

Rest 5min. (Including the 2min.)

3 Rounds:

After the toes to bar, you rest 1min. and do the whole thing 1 more time. That’s 16min. total workout time.
Part 2:

Accumulate a 4min. Plank

*Setup your smartphone on the ground with a running stopwatch. Each time you break, stop the clock. Rest for a short period (10-15sec.) and get back on it. Give yourself an 8min. Time Cap. We’ve done this a few times with hollow hold, but never just planks. If you wanna spice it up a little, you may add some weight to your back or extend the time to 5min.

Full Body Aesthetics Week 6 Day 37

– Switch sides every 5 reps nonstop until the time is up. Try to never put the DB down.

Warm-up
ALL of the sets above are “Working Sets.” A true set starts at the RPE numbers prescribed above. Warm up sets DO NOT count towards the sets listed  above.

Recommended Warm-Up Routine:
1.) Spend 5-10min. on any kind of low impact cardio
2.) Spend 5min. either foam rolling the primary muscle groups for the day or doing a few stretches that will benefit the primary lift for the day.
3.) Complete 1-3 sets of every movement above with lighter weights than your working sets. (For most of you, this all that’s needed)

How Double Progression Works
*DOUBLE PROGRESSION MODEL

The goal on these movements is to get ALL 3 sets for 8 reps. Once you can do that, you add 5% to the bar NEXT TIME. That new load should knock you down to 3 sets at 6-7 reps, but eventually, you will be strong enough to do it for 3 sets of 8 again (might take a week or 2). Then we add another 5% and repeat the process.

Example:
NOTE: 3 x 6 x 95 means 3 working sets, 6 reps performed per set, and 95 is the weight used for each set, for sake of the example.
Week 1 — 3 x 6 x 95lbs
Week 2 — 3 x 7 x 95lbs
Week 3 — 3 x 8 x 95lbs.
Week 4 — 3 x 6 x 100lbs.
Week 5 — 3 x 7 x 100lbs.
Week 6 — 3 x 8 x 100lbs.
and so on….

How to read “RPE”
RPE means “rate of perceived excursion.” It’s measured on a scale between 1 and 10. 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. When it says an RPE of 7, that means that you left 3 reps in the tank. And an RPE of 10 Means that you hit absolute failure. Make sure you truly hit these numbers! This makes or breaks results!
