Day 1:

  • Bench Press 3×5+
  • Deadlifts 1×5+

Day 2:

  • Overhead Press 3x5+
  • Squats 3×5+

Rules:

  • Do warm up sets to get to working weight.
  • The last set is As Many Reps As Possible (AMRAP set)
  • Progress by adding weight from workout to workout – 2.5lbs for upper body and 5lbs for lower body
  • If your final AMRAP set hits 10+ reps, then double your weight increase
  • Any barbell row variant will do, but Yates rows are recommended
  • Feel free to use Power Cleans to warm up for Deadlifts
  • Chinups are palms facing you, approximately shoulder-width grip – begin unweighted, adding weight in 2.5lbs increments
  • If you cannot do 3×5 chin-ups, do negatives until you can
  • If you fail to make five reps in the final set, de-load by 10 percent
