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.
Tricep Dips (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Dips can be performed on either dip bars or two high boxes (allowing the body to pass between the boxes). 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 bars or one foot can be placed on the floor to assist.
Ring Curls (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Setup a pair of rings so bottom of ring is at the top of the hips. Lean back with an overhand grip so that body is around 45-60 from horizontal. Adjust feet/ring height until a comfortably challenging position can be achieved. Curl with the arms (turning from the overhand to underhand grip) with a focus on bringing the rings towards the face or slightly outside of the face. Control the descent to full extension.
