DAY 1
Workouts 1 - 5
- Bench press for as many as you can get in the 8-10 rep range. NOTE this is ONE set (after warmups).
- Immediately perform a set of heavy dumbell pullovers* (8-10 reps).
- Focus on maximally stretching the muscle at the bottom of the movement.
* Should be performed on a SLIGHT incline bench. If using an adjustable bench,
incline it one notch.
Then, after a 5-10 min break and some warmups..
- Squats for as many reps as you can get in the 8-10 rep range.
- Followed immediately by a set of stiff legged or Dimel deadlifts (8-10
reps).

KEY POINTS
- Alternate antagonistic muscle exercises in jump set fahion
- Staley's generally uses 15-20 minutes, (called a PR Zones).
- You perform just this ONE PR Zone per workout.
- Your target weight is one that you can do 10 clean reps with.
- You will begin with alternating sets of 5 or 6 reps.
- As you tire, you may reduce set reps to 4 then 2 and end with singles.
- Your goal is to do as many reps with good form as possible in the PR Zone.
- Do not work to, or near failure in the early sets.
- You may reach failure at the end as you try to beat your previous record.
- Once able to do 20% more reps than your prior workout, increase load 5% and begin again.
Rest up for 10 + minutes and after a warmup, perform the following
EDT BLOCK - Sets performed back to back

Leg Sled
Rest 5 minutes, then perform the following:
Static ab crunch: Briefly, attach a handle or rope to a high pulley, having a partner assist you into the crunch position with a MAXIMAL WEIGHT. Hold for 5-15 seconds and slowly curl back up. Two holds with about 3 min. rest between hold gets it done!
