Grimes should win a professional present to qualify for the 2024 Mr. Olympia, scheduled for Oct. 10-13 in Las Vegas, NV.
Final up to date on March fifteenth, 2024
Watching elite bodybuilders prepare can encourage and provides insights for bettering exercises. In a video revealed on YouTube on March 12, 2024, Males’s Open bodybuilder Regan Grimes teamed with reigning Mr. Olympia champion Derek Lunsford for an intense chest, shoulder, and triceps exercise in entrance of a stay viewers on the NewTech sales space in a health expo in South Korea. The exercise consisted of:
Grimes and Lunsford’s Push Day Exercise
Here’s a abstract of the high-volume coaching session:

Machine Chest Press
The duo opened with neutral-grip machine chest presses to bias the center chest. The aim of the motion was to not push load however slightly to take care of fixed stress on the goal muscle tissue all through their ranges of movement (ROM).
Lunsford averted utilizing his full grip on the handles, holding his palms open to attenuate triceps engagement. The pair carried out a double drop set on the ultimate set.
Decline Machine Chest Press & Machine Chest Press
Within the second train, Lunsford and Grimes shifted focus to the decrease chest through a plate-loaded decline machine chest press. The machine’s converging line of pull allowed for peak chest contraction on the prime of their ROMs.
They moved to a special chest press machine with handles that rotated externally throughout the concentric, permitting for a deeper chest contraction of their totally shortened positions.
Pec Deck Flyes
After three urgent actions, Lunsford and Grimes transitioned to pec deck flyes to bias the interior chest. Whereas sustaining slight elbow flexion, Lunsford pulled the elbows to his midline on eccentrics.
Whereas doing this train, I take into consideration hitting the [favorite] most muscular pose.

Shoulder Press & Standing Lateral Increase
The duo kicked off shoulder coaching with machine shoulder presses. Lunsford positioned his again in opposition to the machine’s pad, retracted his scapula, and stored his chest proud all through to load the anterior deltoids.
Grimes raised his arms parallel to the ground throughout machine lateral raises. He employed gradual eccentrics and paused on the prime. Slower lifting tempos can result in larger muscle protein synthesis (i.e., constructing muscle) than coaching at quicker tempos. (1)
On the ultimate set, Lunsford carried out partial reps to muscle failure (i.e., when kind breaks down on account of fatigue). A randomized managed trial within the Journal of Energy and Conditioning Analysis discovered that partial vary of movement reps would possibly facilitate muscular hypertrophy higher than full vary of movement.

Bent-Over & Standing Rear Delt Flyes
Lunsford positioned his torso at 45 levels and positioned his head on a weight bench to restrict momentum whereas performing bent-over cable rear delt flyes. Cables keep stress on the goal muscle, in contrast to free weights.
Throughout standing cable rear delt flyes. Grimes drove his elbows towards the ground on concentrics to make sure optimum posterior delt improvement.
Machine Dips
Grimes and Lunsford concluded their push-day with machine dips to bias the triceps. Whereas holding his torso upright, Lunsford totally prolonged his elbows on the backside and paused within the totally shortened place to maximise triceps activation.
