Upper body power day!!!




Upper body Power day
Today was another training session for my football guys. As we all know they have to go to these training camps and pro workouts were they must preform the bench press test, jumping test, 40 yrd dash blah blah blah. So I'm trying to help these guys increase their power output, endurance and the overall way they go about bench pressing. Here's what we did
Rest/Pause bench press( bench 8 reps, then rack and rest 15 sec. then another 8 and then rack and then last 8) that's all one set. we did 3 sets with prettt heavy weight.
Pull-ups 3 x max reps
super sets with barbell thrusters 3x10
barbell toss curls!!!!! with 45lbs bar 3x10
power wheel pike to push-up 3 x10

Next visit with Jason!








Yes people if you follow my site from month to month you will remember I did a crossfit workout named "jason" after a fallen solider. Let me remind you just what jason is:




2 muscle-ups


4 handstand push-ups


8 kettelbell swings (45lbs)




as many rounds as possible in 20 mins!!!!!!! Back in Oct. I did 10 rounds. I knew I could do better next time around and today I did just that. Today I did 13 and 1/4 of a round!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. I was moving from station to station with a lot more ease then the last time. I think during my 3rd or 4th round I knew I would beat my last time. I'm getting stronger, my muscle endurance is way way better and i'm better at pacing myself for the long haul. I move better and more like a athlete then some big stiff guy that can't do anything but look good:):) I'm telling you give it a shot.
