Notes

Today’s strength is bench press and supinated grip pull ups. You will complete a set of 8, 6, 4, and 2 reps on the bench press. After each set, perform 4-6 supinated grip strict pull ups with a tempo.

Take 4-6 warm up sets for the bench press, then begin your working sets with a set of 8. If you know your 1 rep max, you can use 60%. If you do not know your max, use a weight that is a rate of perceived exertion of 6/10. Then, increase the load by 10% each set. Every rep will be performed with a clear, :01 pause on the chest.

After each set of bench press, perform 4-6 pull ups with a supinated grip. Each rep will be performed with a :02 negative, and :01 pause at the top and bottom. If you can hold the tempo, add weight. If not, add assistance or substitute ring rows.
