CrossFit Republic – CrossFit

Daily Bodybuilding Bro Sesh – 32 Minutes (4 Rounds for weight)

Chest Day

0 – 8 Minutes: 4 Sets of 10 – 12 Double Dumbbell Bench Press (Log both dumbbells of last set)

8 – 16 Minutes: 4 Sets of 10 – 12 Single Dumbbell Pull Overs (Log weight of last set)

16 – 24 Minutes: 4 Sets of 10 – 12 Double Dumbbell Chest Flys (Log both dumbbells of last set)

24 – 32 Minutes: 4 Sets of 10 – 12 Alternating Crossbody Chest Flys (L/R = 1) (Low to High and Standing) (Log both dumbbells of last set)

Intended Stimulus

This is a hypertrophy and structural balance session focused on chest development and shoulder health.

The goal is to accumulate high-quality upper-body volume while training the chest through multiple angles:

Horizontal press

Shoulder extension

Horizontal adduction

Low-to-high pressing path

Expect a strong muscular burn and fatigue, not breathlessness.

Loading Guidance

Choose a weight that allows 10–12 controlled reps every set.

The final 2–3 reps should feel challenging without losing control.

If you can exceed 12 reps easily, increase weight next set.

Execution Notes

Control the lowering phase on every rep.

Prioritize full range of motion.

Rest about 60–90 seconds between sets.

Move with intent, not speed.

Big Picture

This session builds:

Upper-body muscle mass

Pressing strength support

Shoulder durability for barbell and gymnastics work

Quality reps and controlled tempo matter more than heavy weight.

Endurance W.O.D. – 30 Minutes (Time)

10 Rounds for Time of…

200 Meter Run

10 Hand Release Push Ups

100 Meter Farmer’s Carry (55s/35s)

Intended Stimulus

This is a long conditioning workout built around repeatable running and upper-body fatigue.

The run elevates heart rate, the push-ups challenge upper-body stamina, and the farmer’s carry adds grip and midline fatigue that accumulates every round.

The goal is steady, sustainable movement across all 10 rounds , not aggressive early pacing.

How This Should Feel

Breathing elevated from the start

Grip and shoulders fatigue progressively

Later rounds become a test of staying consistent under fatigue

You should be able to keep moving with minimal standing rest.

Movement Notes

Run

Smooth and repeatable pace

Avoid sprinting the first few rounds

Hand Release Push Ups

Chest to floor, hands leave the ground

Full lockout at the top

Break early to avoid failure

Farmer’s Carry

Shoulders down and back

Small, controlled steps

Stay tall and brace your core

Pacing Guidance

Rounds 1–3 should feel controlled.

Rounds 4–7 should feel steady and uncomfortable.

Rounds 8–10 are about staying disciplined and minimizing slowdowns.

Big Picture

This workout trains:

Aerobic endurance

Upper-body stamina
