Upper Body - Not Pushing but Tapering

Today was a neutral. I hit a new record with my push press but didn’t do as well as I should have with the monkey bar routine and I did not get to bent over rows. Although I got a good night’s sleep last night I may be a little tired still and am battling a little cold. This is okay since I need to start tapering for the Super Spartan in one week and three days.

Warm Up:

• 50 Jumping Jacks (http://youtu.be/dmYwZH_BNd0)
• 40 Squats w/12 kg bar (http://youtu.be/QKKZ9AGYTi4)
• 30 Sit Ups
• 20 Judo Pushups (http://youtu.be/sqiV1mbqbtA)
• 10 Burpees (http://youtu.be/O7_TBHno0Os)

Chest/Back Routine - 5 sets increasing in weight and decreasing in reps 20/15/10/5/3.

• Bench Press (http://youtu.be/gRVjAtPip0Y)
• Barbell Row (http://youtu.be/Xglwz5hwRYs) ** I start from the floor every rep and bring barbell to my chest. Purpose is to exactly replicate the bench press in reverse.
• Barbell Shoulder Press (http://youtu.be/8gVEdhS5AEs)
