Sunday NOVEMBER 7th 2021 -Week 1 “Biceps make the world go round”
**Programming options. Choose one of the training tiers to follow (Red, White, or Blue). Each day perform ONLY that part of the Major Lift section. Red is the foundational strength template, based on 5/3/1. White is the Powerlifting tier for max strength building. Blue is the bodybuilding tier. All other sections of the day’s training will be completed by everyone.**
-Anyone following the 4 day routine should not do “humpday pumpday”. They should do the active rest. Whether they do the Sabado Gigante (which is the same programming as humpday pumpday) is case by case depending how they feel from the week’s worth of work. Don’t over do it. The Sabado Gigante often overlaps things done during the week. When in doubt, push or drag sleds and do some curls.
-Afterburners: These are optional conditioning pieces of the programming. Whether a person completes this is dependent on their goals and calorie intake. If actual sustained strength and mass is the goal, the afterburners should not be done. At least not without increased calorie count to accommodate the extra effort. That being said, some sustained sweat should happen at least once a week. That is the active rest on Wednesday.
Additionally, some of the movements in the Afterburners are not found in the GainCity accessory work. If a person wants to get those movements in for accessory but doesn’t want to overdo the sweats, just take the movements and rep counts out of the afterburner and do them like regular sets/reps.
Monday, NOV 8th, DE UPPER:
Jet Fuel:
3x
10 Pushups

1 round, 2 minutes:
Max Reps
1 Power Clean+ 2 Push Press
1 Bar Over Burpee
*In the first (3) 1 minute intervals, perform as many rounds of the complex 1 powerclean+2 push press. The weight should be moderate so that the weight can be moved without having to rest for the entire minute. If I was going to give a prescribed weight, it would be 135/95.
*In the last 2 minute interval, perform as many rounds of 1 powerclean+2 push press and 1 burpee. It will burn at this point and be a shock to the body to have to double the work time. Get after it. Use the same weight for all rounds.
