A.
Three sets of:
Tempo Bench Press x 6 reps @ 21X1
(slow and controlled descent, then pause for one second in the bottom position, then explode the barbell up as quickly as you can)
Rest 90 seconds
Barbell Loaded Bulgarian Split Squats x 6 reps each @ 31X1
Rest 90 seconds after each leg
Both of these movements should be loaded HEAVY. As in, I would rather you fail the sixth rep than have the ability to complete a seventh if your life depended on it.

Deadlift endurance is being tested today! We just came off a heavy deadlift cycle so now we will be training deadlift endurance. This workout will get ‘grippy’ so I’d rather you do multiple sets with very, very short rest (like, you drop the barbell from the top and immediately bend over to go into your next set) then trying to go unbroken since that grip will catch up with you mid workout. Keep your chalk on a j-peg at chest height so that you can quickly chalk up. The barbell should be placed right in front of your BMU/Pull-Up station so that you can quickly turn and jump to the bar.

We actually tested 10 min assault bike on July 2 or 3, 2019. I did it July 3, but I’m usually a day behind so could have been July 2.
Oh thank you Marie!! I thought we had done it earlier than 2017 but I couldn’t find it in my notes – thank you!!
