The Workout

Form cues
- Anchor a resistance band to a high point — a pull-up bar or door attachment works well.

- Push the band down by extending your elbows until your arms are completely straight.
Anchor the band at a low point and grab the end with one hand.
Form cues

- Hinge forward at the hips with a flat back and pin your elbow at your side.
- Extend your arm straight back until fully locked out.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues

- Face away from the anchor, step forward until you feel tension with elbows bent.
- Extend your arms forward and up until they are fully straight overhead.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of strength training. Center your program around the big compound lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. Use heavy loads (80-95% 1RM) with low reps and full recovery between sets. Periodize intensity — not every session should be a max effort.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 3-6 reps — heavy enough for maximal force production
- Rest Periods: 3-5 minutes — full recovery between heavy sets
- Sets Per Exercise: 4-6 sets — optimized for strength
Triceps Training Tips
- *Overhead extensions stretch the long head, which is the largest tricep head — do not skip them.
- *Lock out every rep fully to engage the medial head.
- *Dips and close-grip bench press allow heavier loading than isolation work.
