STRENGTH Workout of the Day

MAIN EVENT

1A) Press (1’s week)

[All numbers are based off of 90% of your 1-RM.  For example, your first warm-up set is based off of 40% of 90% of your 1-RM.  If you’re working off of a 185 1-RM Max, all of your set weights will be based off of 90% of 185 (which works out to 165). Your first set weight is 40% of 165, your second set weight is 50% of 165, and so on]

Set 1 – 40% x 5 Reps

Set 2 – 50% x 5

Set 3 – 60% x 3
