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
Ring Push-ups (5 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Set up a pair of rings on a pullup bar and lower them until they are 2-3 inches from the floor. Assume a pushup position on the rings, with the hands/rings positioned below the shoulder and feet on the floor. Maintaining an engage core throughout, lower into a push until the chest makes contact with the top of the rings and then push up. Elevate the height of the rings to make this movement easier.

Strict Pull-ups (5 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
Focus: Control should be shown across sets. Athlete should keep core engaged and avoid kipping. Band across rig is encouraged if strict reps are not possible and should be set at a height that allows for desired number of rep but no more. If using a band, make note of the hole that you are placing the back across the rig to keep consistency on resistance assistance across workouts.
Ring Dips (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Dips will be performed on rings set at a height that you can keep your feet off the ground. 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 rings or one foot can be placed on the floor to assist.
DB Spider Curls (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a light/moderate weight. Stay the same and focus on strict control throughout
Focus: Set up an incline bench to a 45 degree angle. Hold light/moderate dumbbells in each hand and brace chest/upper torso against bench. Perform curls with both arms at the same time.

Inverted Skull Crusher (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight, stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Racking a bar on a rig around waist height, assume a plank position on the bar with hands roughly shoulder width apart. Bend the elbows and lower the body to the bar. Range of motion should result with forehead ending close to barbell (similar to a lying barbell skull crusher). Raise height of bar to decrease difficulty.

Incline Dumbbell Hammer Curls (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a light/moderate weight. Stay the same and focus on strict control throughout
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. Unlike a regular curl, there is no rotation of the dumbbell on the way up. Do not sacrifice form/control for weight.
