Open Gym Strength and Conditioning – Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding RPE Scale

RPE 1-3 || This should be a weight that an athlete can move with ease throughout the intended rep range.

RPE 4-5 || This is a weight that provides a moderate amount of resistance but the athlete feels like they could double the intended rep range with the weight they chose

RPE 6-7 || This is a moderate-moderate/heavy weight for the athletes. This should provide a challenge for the intended rep range but should not be something that they are worried of failing. The rest needed between sets should be minimal.

RPE 8-9 || This is a near maximal effort for the intended rep range. Athletes should need and want adequate amount of rest between the sets at this RPE.

RPE 10 || This is a max effort for the intended rep range. The athlete should be fully taxed at the end of each set.

Diamond Push-ups

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Focus: Setup in a pushup position on the floor with hands 2-3 inches apart. This movement can also be performed on a racked bar at shin level if positioning is more comfortable for athlete.
5 sets: 10 reps – RPE 7

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Ring Row – Feet Elevated

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Focus: Athletes will need a set of rings and some type of item (bench, box, or stacked plates) to elevate their feet. Rings should be set up so that the bottom of the rings are at the top of the athlete’s hip when standing. Foot platform should be at a height that allows athlete to be completely parallel when athletes are at the top of the rep (with rings making contact with the outside of the chest). Another measurement that typically works is using a platform that is right at knee level. Athlete should lie back hanging from rings with straight legs on their elevated platform and row until rings make contact with the outside of the chest. Core should stay engaged and legs straight. Athletes should avoid “kipping” the rep.
5 sets: 10 reps – RPE 7

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Tricep Dips

*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.
4 sets: 10 reps – RPE 8

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Barbell Drag Curls

*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.
4 sets: 10 reps – RPE 8

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Standing KB Crush Grip French Press

*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.
4 sets: 10 reps – RPE 8

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Incline Dumbbell Curls

Incline Dumbbell Curls

Focus: Done with athlete laying on their back on an incline bench with dumbbells in both hands. The movement places a large amount of isolation on the bicep so do not be tempted to go too heavy with this movement. Do not sacrifice form/control for weight.

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
