Functional Pump – Core and Arms (Checkmark)
INSTRUCTIONS! Do NOT do this session with the rest of the bodybuilding track. It should be done alone for the day. We recommend doing it as the ONLY workout for that day and the next day (i.e. if you do the 3 functional pumps during the week, we don’t recommend doing any other workout apart from the 3 power lifts – Squat, Deadlift & Press). Please click on “Workout prep notes available” directly to read the instructions before doing the workout!

RPE Scale (No Measure)
We want the programmed RPE to be based off of our first few sets. Naturally as we get later into the sets what once felt like a 5/10 RPE will begin to get more difficult, but should remain doable and safe for all sets.
**RPE = Rate of Perceived Exertion**
RPE 10 = 0 reps left (max effort)
RPE 9.5 = Maybe 1 rep left
RPE 9 = 1 rep left
RPE 8.5 = 1-2 reps left
RPE 8 = 2 reps left
RPE 7 = 3 reps left
RPE 6.5 = 4 reps left
RPE 6 = 6+ reps left
RPE 5.5 = 8+ reps left
RPE 5 = 10+ reps left

Double Kettlebell Front Squats
Spanish Squat (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Anchor a thick resistance band to a rig at knee height. Step intro band and place band on the back of the calves below the knee. Hold a KB or DB in a goblet position and squat to parallel and lean back slightly against the band. Squat just below parallel and push the leg back into the band while standing. Done properly, athletes will feel constant tension in the quads throughout this movement. Perform with bodyweight only at first to get a feel for proper loading throughout range of motion. ALWAYS INSPECT BANDS FOR SIGNS OF POTENTIAL BREAKAGE BEFORE USING.

Mayhem Mini Pump
Mini Pump Sessions are used as a supplement to another Mayhem Athlete track or on days when you are pressed for time and cannot complete the full day’s bodybuilding session as programmed. You should NOT complete today’s bodybuilding program AND the Mini pump session. Choose one or the other. These are very similar to “Mini Pumps” in the past. Now they will vary a bit more with reps, sets, rest time, etc.
