CrossFit Mile Zero – Bodybuilding
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.

Back Squat (5 sets: 7 reps)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets

Focus: High bar position. Controlled speed down and up. Stop just before full lockout at the top of each rep for added time under tension on legs.

Deadlift (5 sets: 7 reps)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: traditional deadlift setup. Keep weight to a controllable amount meaning no bouncing off the floor. All reps are touch and go – do not reset at the bottom of reps.
* Warm up and keep the same weight across all 5 sets. The sets should be at 7/10 RPE.
Barbell Front Squat: 1 and a Half Reps (4 sets: 10 reps)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Rack a barbell in the front rack position. Focus on keeping tension in the legs throughout out sets. Stop just before full lockout at the top of each rep for added time under tension. Perform 1 and a half reps by squatting below parallel, raise to above parallel, return below parallel, and then stand. Do not bounce out of the bottom of any reps.

Focus: Start with the KB on the ground in front of the body. Hike the KB to the hips and use a violent hip extension of the hips to drive the KB to shoulder height. Torso should stay vertical at the top of the swing and lats should be engaged to drive the KB back down. Athlete should make sure that glutes and core are engaged for a solid hollow position at apex of swing.

Sneaky way to get otherwise sensitive folk to tolerate the foam roller. Movement without motion = increased tolerance.
