Open Gym Strength and Conditioning – Bodybuilding
Mayhem Bodybuilding Goals
Mayhem Bodybuilding is a stand alone hypertrophy focused program. You may layer this on top of some of the other Mayhem Athlete Program, but it is not designed to be performed on top of all other tracks each day. We will include pieces of some days in other programs as “ACCESSORY”. The goals are to stay focused and rest just long enough so that you can perform the next set with quality and control unless stated otherwise. Keep your attention of each set and keep your phone in your bag. Sessions are not done “for time” but treat them like you are limited on time. Keep a visible clock running to keep you accountable.

Strength
Chin-ups
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Chin-ups should be done with a supinated (underhand grip). Rep is completed when chin passes the plane of the bar. Athletes should use a band across the rig if assistance is needed for quality reps.
5 sets: 10 reps
Tricep Dips (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Dips can be performed on either dip bars or two high boxes (allowing the body to pass between the boxes). Keep shoulders in an engaged position throughout the dips and the rest of the body in a strong “hollow position” if not using assistance. A band can be attached across the bars or one foot can be placed on the floor to assist.
Barbell Drag Curls (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across
Focus: Drag curls are performed with a straight bar. Use light weight and “drag” the bar up
the body by pulling the elbows up and back. *Do not sacrifice strong shoulder position to try and get the bar higher on drags.

Standing KB Crush Grip French Press (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: In a standing position, take a KB and grasp it between both hands around the bell portion (not the handles). Palms will be facing each other on either side of the bell. Lift the KB overhead, being mindful of the positioning of the handles so they don’t hit the head. Keeping the elbows tucked and pointed at the ceiling, lower the weight behind the head. Extend back overhead to complete. Be sure to keep core engaged and avoid overextension in the low back.
Single Dumbbell Waiter Hold Curl (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Using one dumbbell, grasp by one head of the dumbbell with both hands (allowing the second head to hang below the hands so dumbbell is vertical). Hand position should be so that the palms are facing more towards the sky rather than palms facing each other. Curl the dumbbell, showing control throughout.
