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.
Warm-up
Warm-up (No Measure)
Shoulder and Glutes
Crossover Symmetry Warm-up
-into-
Hip Halo Warm-up
Focus: Move with intention and focus on each movement you are performing
Strength
Shoulder Press (7/5/3/1/3/5/7) (7 sets: 7/5/3/1/3/5/7)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
*Attempt to add a small amount of weight (5-10lbs) from last week’s loading
7 Sets
Set 1: 7 reps
Set 2: 5 reps
Set 3: 3 reps
Set 4: 1 reps
Set 5: 3 reps
Set 6: 5 reps
Set 7: 7 reps
Focus: Take barbell from the rig. Keep abs and glutes engaged to prevent over-extension of the low back. Use a slightly staggered stance if needed to prevent over extension. Barbell should make contact with the upper chest/shoulders between reps but you should not lose tension between reps by resting the bar in the front rack. Attempt to add a small increase from previous week’s loading.
*Pyramid sets. Athletes have 7 sets of building and reducing weight across sets. Weight selected should be moderately challenging for the reps on that set. This means that athlete should be able to complete the required number of reps but would experience a form breakdown if attempting more reps at that weight for that set. Weight increases as reps decrease and athletes will use the same weight for both 7 rep sets. Slightly heavier weight is used for 5 reps sets (same weight for both). Slightly heavier weight is used for 3 reps sets (same weight for both). Heaviest weight is used for 1 rep set.
Double DB Z-Press (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across
Focus: From a seated position with legs extended in front, press both DB’s overhead. Choose a weight that will allow quality range of motion without cheating by leaning, etc. This movement can be very challenging so don’t go heavier without attempting a few reps with lighter weight first.

Kipping Handstand Push-ups (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Stay within a rep range that will allow for quality on all reps. Hands should be 6-8 inches away from the wall with a slight turnout and outside of shoulder width apart. Keep the core engaged. Breathe out on each kip to assist with core engagement and stability. Ensure that all reps reach full lockout. Follow the sequence of head on ground, butt against wall, load legs, kip/press. Padding or a mat under the head is advised. If you do not have kipping handstand pushups, this movement can be modified to handstand pushups with feet on a box, pike pushups, or a double dumbbell push press.
Crossover Symmetry Iron Scap Protocol
Complete Iron Scap Protocol
Focus: Use band weight that is challenging but allows for quality of movement. If you do not have access to a crossover symmetry set, substitute 4 sets of 10 bent over lateral dumbbell raises.
GHD Hip Extension (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Set up GHD so hips are slightly past the hip pad. Go down to 90 degrees and raise to parallel. Avoid using excessive momentum to complete reps and squeeze glutes at the top of each rep.

DB Box Step-ups (4 sets: 10 reps per side)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
Focus: With a DB in each hand or racked on the shoulders and a 20” box, step up on top of the box to full extension. Repeat on the opposite side. Taking a breath in and breathing out as the step is completed will assist in stability and core engagement.

Single Leg DB Hip Thrust (4 sets: 15 reps per side)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets to the opposite side. Keep dumbbell centered over the hips the entire time.
Focus: It is advised to set up your bench so that it is braced against a rig or upright to prevent tipping. Place the upper back on the bench and both feet next to each other, flat on the floor. Place a dumbbell laterally across the hips. Position the feet far enough from the bench, so that when hips are extended, shins will be vertical. When correct foot placement is found, extend one leg forward and squeeze glutes slightly so that a neutral pelvis can be maintained throughout the entire movement. The extended, non-working leg is ok to touch the floor between reps but should not aid during the hip thrust rep. Drive through the foot of the working leg, squeezing the glute to extend the hip. Return down to the starting position and repeat all reps on that side before switching to the opposite side. Keep dumbbell centered over the hips the entire time.
