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.

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Take a light/moderate weight band place it across the back and loop through the palm of each hand. Assume a pushup position and perform standard pushups by touching the chest to the floor and then pressing to full extension. Keep a tight plank position with the body. Modify to pushups on a racked bar or the side of a box if needed.

Ring Row – Feet Elevated (5 sets: 10 reps)
*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.
Single Arm Standing Tricep DB French Press (4 sets: 10 reps per side)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight, stay the same or build across sets
Focus: While standing, grasp a single dumbbell and extend it overhead. Keep the elbow pointing towards the ceiling, lower the dumbbell behind the head and then extend back towards the ceiling. Keep core engaged and attempt to keep body balanced by not leaning away or towards the working arm.

Standing KB Crush Grip Bicep Curl (4 sets: 10 reps)
*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. Be mindful of the positioning of the handles so they don’t hit the face. Curl the KB up and then lower, stopping just before tension is lost in the biceps.

Barbell Skull Crushers (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across
Focus: Lie on a bench with barbell extended towards the ceiling. Movement works best with
an EZ curl bar but a straight will work as well. Keeping the elbow tucked,
bring the bar down towards the top of head (around the hairline region). Elbows
should stay pointed towards the ceiling. Adjust grip as needed to find the best
balance between comfort and power. Do not sacrifice form for weight and focus
on a solid contraction with each rep.

Barbell Drag Curls (4 sets: 10 reps)
*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.
