CrossFit FC East – Bodybuilding
Bodybuilding RPE Scale
RPE 1-3 || This should be a weight that an athlete can move with ease throughout the intended rep range.
RPE 4-5 || This is a weight that provides a moderate amount of resistance but the athlete feels like they could double the intended rep range with the weight they chose
RPE 6-7 || This is a moderate-moderate/heavy weight for the athletes. This should provide a challenge for the intended rep range but should not be something that they are worried of failing. The rest needed between sets should be minimal.
RPE 8-9 || This is a near maximal effort for the intended rep range. Athletes should need and want adequate amount of rest between the sets at this RPE.
RPE 10 || This is a max effort for the intended rep range. The athlete should be fully taxed at the end of each set.

Banded Pushups
*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 Push-ups by touching the chest to the floor and then pressing to full extension. Keep a tight plank position with the body. Modify to Push-ups on a racked bar or the side of a box if needed.
5 sets: 10 reps – RPE 7
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Ring Row – Feet Elevated
*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.
5 sets: 10 reps – RPE 7
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Ring Dips
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Dips will be performed on rings set at a height that you can keep your feet off the ground. 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 rings or one foot can be placed on the floor to assist.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Athletes Notes
Ring Dips —–scale to Tricep Dips – Matedor if needed
Single DB Double Head Curl
*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 Push-ups by touching the chest to the floor and then pressing to full extension. Keep a tight plank position with the body. Modify to Push-ups on a racked bar or the side of a box if needed.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Bent Over Banded Tricep Extension
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Attach band to rig overhead. Bend at the waist to face the floor while standing. ALWAYS INSPECT BANDS FOR SIGNS OF POTENTIAL BREAKAGE BEFORE USING. Grasp band and point elbows at floor. Extend towards floor. Avoid complete lockout to keep tension on Tricep. Show control throughout.
Bent Over Banded Tricep Extension
https://youtu.be/0H-0XHCyWgI
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 8
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Incline Dumbbell Hammer Curls
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a light/moderate weight. Stay the same and focus on strict control throughout
Focus: Done with athlete laying on their back on an incline bench with dumbbells in both hands. The movement places a large amount of isolation on the bicep so do not be tempted to go too heavy with this movement. Unlike a regular curl, there is no rotation of the dumbbell on the way up. Do not sacrifice form/control for weight.
3 sets: 15 reps – RPE 7
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
