(Specialty warm-up: 10 bench press @ 1/2 BW, 5/1000 @ top, 20 mace front pendulum, 10 mace squat) Bench press: 5 x 7 @ 60% of 2RM, each with a full 3/1000 in lock-out Rest as needed between sets. If a set requires interruption, make as minor a weight adjustment as possible prior to the next. When scheme is listed as “5 x 7″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”. Reminder: Position and organized execution always govern weight, and “locked out” always includes a rigid stop of motion.

M Count reps completed in each round, and attempt to match throughout. Only count reps in which the weight reaches parallel with the floor.
