This is one of my own invention. Linda preparation. For those who don't know, Linda is a brutal workout:
- For time 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of:
- 185 lbs bench press
- 135 lbs clean
- 275 lbs dead lift
My workout:
- 185 lbs bench press (55 reps)
- 135 lbs clean (55 reps)
- 275 lbs dead lift (30 reps)
Hopefully this will help me reach the full Linda workout. I would have done Linda except I only have 1 bar and not enough weight.

How did you break up the reps? Did you do all 55 of bench, before moving on to whatever is next? Did you time it?
I did as many reps as I could safely complete without a spotter. I didn't time it. Between sets I raked leaves, did yard work, and played with my kids. I was watching them so I would crank out a set every couple of minutes.
I've done Linda at the gym admidst the stares and wonder. I love Linda it's a great workout. I have done a version of Linda where I add pull ups and sit ups between BP/C and C/DL.
Of course this feedback is from last year, but I did a bodyweight (205) BP workoutI was amazed at how I performed having done no bench workouts in almost 6 month - only the usual CF lifts and push ups for chest - I pulled off 27 reps without racking or resting.
