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.

Chin-ups (5 sets: 10 reps)
*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.
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.
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.

Seated Tricep DB French Press (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: In a seated position, take one dumbbell and hold it by the upper DB head with arms extended overhead. Keeping the elbows tucked and pointed at the ceiling, lower the weight behind the head. Extend back overhead to complete. For ease of setup, have a partner load and unload the DB from your hands before and after sets.
