Workout description

12-9-6: Deadlifts (275/185 lbs), Bench Presses (185/105 lbs) & Chest to Bar Pull-Ups

Warmup:

10

min

Equipment:

Barbell, Bench, Pull-Up Bar, Rack Recommended

Cooldown:

5

min

Modality:

Weightlifting, Gymnastics

Coaching notes

Start with a comprehensive warm-up targeting your back, chest, and shoulders. For deadlifts, use a weight that is challenging but allows for good form. If the prescribed weight is too heavy or if you lack equipment, substitute with single-leg Romanian deadlifts using a lighter dumbbell or kettlebell. For bench presses, choose a weight that enables steady, controlled reps. If you don't have access to a bench, substitute with push-ups or dumbbell floor presses for a similar chest and tricep workout. Chest to bar pull-ups require significant upper body strength. If these are too challenging or if you don't have a pull-up bar, modify with inverted rows using a sturdy table, or do bent-over dumbbell rows to target similar muscle groups. This workout is compact and intense. Focus on maintaining a brisk pace but ensure you prioritize form and safety, especially when modifying exercises. Post-workout, cool down with stretching and light cardio to aid recovery.
