Crossfit Lillington – Mayhem Affiliate – Bodybuilding
Functional Pump – Lower Push and Pull (6 Rounds for time ↓ shorter is better)
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 (i.e. if you do the 3 functional pumps on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday that is all we recommend you do those days). If you do Mayhem Bodybuilding the other days, avoid the exact same movements if done on the day before or after (i.e. don’t bench press 2 days in a row). The Functional Pumps are enough to get a great bodybuilding effect if done alone 3x/week.

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

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 more with reps, sets, rest time, etc.
