MONDAY

It's a lifting day... surprise, surprise.

Strict Overhead Press
5-5-5-5-5

Then...

Weighted Strict Pull-ups
3-3-3


*For both of these movements: rest 2-3 minutes ONLY between each set. The sets for the Press should all use the same weight, varying only 5-10lbs AT MOST, from the first set of 5, to the last. If you did your first working set with 100lbs on the barbell, your last set should be no heavier than 110lbs; so challenge yourself, but be realistic so you don't miss any reps. The Pull-ups should get heavier each set, with the last set being a possible new 3RM PR for yourself.
