(Score is Weight)

GOAL: RPE 7 | Build off the weight you hit last week while maintaining the same tempo and rest interval. The goal is to finish with a heavier set of 6. A slight incline means 15 degrees if you have an adjustable bench or one plate under the bench if you only have access to a flat bench.

GOAL: RPE 8 | Big back and big arms in the bodybuilding piece. Have fun with the drop set on the row and really squeeze out as many reps to failure. A little rocking to get the weight up is okay, but try to really squeeze the lats and earn the work! The tempo on the bar dips isn’t a suggestion. Use a band if you need to.
