Chest Workout-Functional Muscle Endurance

5/16/10

The purpose of this workout is to creat functional muscle endurance in the chest muscles.  We do this by prefatigueing the chest muscle with a standard exercise and then take it to failure by supersetting with a functional push-up.  By doing this we teach the body to remain functional (i.e. create power and stability) when fatigued.  For the standard exercise you will want to do 3 sets of 15 adding weight each set.  You will reach failure on each set with the functional component of the superset. You will want to rest 30 seconds to 1 minute between supersets.

Superset #1: Bench Press-Lateral Plyometric Push-up on Medicine Ball

Superset #2:  Cable Fly's-Plyometric Push-up

Superset #3:  Incline D.B. Press-TRX Push-up

Superset #4:  Decline D.B. Press-Swiss Ball Push-up
