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

Rear Foot Elevated DB Split 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: Set up a platform or bar slightly below knee level. Standing in front and facing away from this platform, place the top of the rear foot on the platform and the forward foot far enough ahead so that the back knee can be lowered to the floor with the heel of the forward foot staying in contact with the floor throughout reps. Holding dumbbells in each hand, lunge on the forward leg until the back knee contacts the floor or you reach the end of your range of motion (do not force ROM). To stand, contract the glute on the working side and drive the ground away with the working foot. Consider using straps during this movement so that grip is not a limiting factor for sets. This movement can also be performed at bodyweight with no dumbbells if preferred.
3 sets: 8 reps (per side) @ RPE 7.5-8/10
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
**goal is to add weight to two weeks ago
Band Pull Through (Checkmark)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets *Build to a moderate resistance; stay the same or build across sets Focus: Attach a moderate/heavy weight band to a rig at knee height. Turn away from the rig and grasp the band with each hand with a thumb forward grip between the legs. Step forward and lean forward slightly when the band is under tension. Hinge by pushing the hips back and then forcefully contract the glutes to drive the hips forward to full extension. ALWAYS INSPECT BANDS FOR SIGNS OF POTENTIAL BREAKAGE BEFORE USING.

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
**goal is to use a thicker band than two weeks ago
Russian Kettlebell Swing (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across
Focus: Start with the KB on the ground in front of the body. Hike the KB to the hips and use a violent hip extension of the hips to drive the KB to shoulder height. Torso should stay vertical at the top of the swing and lats should be engaged to drive the KB back down. Athlete should make sure that glutes and core are engaged for a solid hollow position at apex of swing.

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.
