Notes
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Drop the weight by ~25% from your top set. 2 second pause.
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Maintain a neutral lower back, set your hips back, don't allow
your spine to round
Take medium strides, minimize the amount you push off your
rear leg
Focus on squeezing your hamstrings to move the weight
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Hold a plate or DB to your chest and crunch hard!
Set up a comfortable arch, quick pause on the chest and
explode up on each rep
Shoulder blades still retracted and depressed. Slight arch in
upper back. Zero leg drive.
Start with your elbows in front of you and palms facing in.
Rotate the dumbbells so that your palms face forward as you
press.
Brace with your non-working arm, squeeze your pecs by
pressing the cable across your body
Hold a pec stretch for 30 seconds. The stretch should be held
at about a 7/10 intensity.
Think about swinging the cable out and up as if "drawing a
sword" from your side
Do the second half of the ROM for pressdowns ("the
squeeze") and the first half of the ROM for overhead
extensions ("the stretch")
Extend your triceps with your arm more out to the side than a
regular pressdown. Feel the stretch as the cable moves across
your torso
Do 4 feeder sets of 10 reps by gradually building the weight up
from set to set. Set 1 is pretty light (RPE 4-5). Set 2 is a little
heavier (RPE 6-7). Set 3 is a little heavier again (RPE 7-8). Set 4
is your hard set: try to hit failure at 10 reps on this last set.
After hitting failure at ~10 reps, do a dropset. Strip the weight
back ~30-50% and do another 5 reps with nice and controlled
technique
Use 3 different grips for the 3 working sets (ideally going from
wider to closer)
Do DB lat pullovers, but cut out the top half of the ROM (stay
entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Hold a lat stretch for 30 seconds. The stretch should be held at
about a 7/10 intensity.
1st set: low-to-high
2nd set: mid-range
3rd set: high-to-low
Focus on contracting your biceps, minimize torso momentum
Do preacher curls, but cut out the top half of the ROM (stay
entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Brace your lats, chest tall, pull the slack out of the bar before
lifting
Think about doing a high-hip conventional deadlift with a
slight bend in the knees
Use ~45° incline and a grip width just outside shoulder width
Underhand grip, pull your chest to the bar, add weight if
needed to hit RPE
Medium width feet placement on the platform, don't allow
your lower back to round
Kroc rows are basically just a dumbbell row with mild cheating
and a slightly more upright posture. Don't be afraid to go
heavy and use straps if your grip is limiting
Place your hands close together on the ground so that they
form a diamond shape and do as many pushups as possible
with a smooth tempo

entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Hold a lat stretch for 30 seconds. The stretch should be held at
about a 7/10 intensity.
1st set: low-to-high
2nd set: mid-range
3rd set: high-to-low
Focus on contracting your biceps, minimize torso momentum
Do preacher curls, but cut out the top half of the ROM (stay
entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Brace your lats, chest tall, pull the slack out of the bar before
lifting
Think about doing a high-hip conventional deadlift with a
slight bend in the knees
Use ~45° incline and a grip width just outside shoulder width
Underhand grip, pull your chest to the bar, add weight if
needed to hit RPE
Medium width feet placement on the platform, don't allow
your lower back to round
Kroc rows are basically just a dumbbell row with mild cheating
and a slightly more upright posture. Don't be afraid to go
heavy and use straps if your grip is limiting
Place your hands close together on the ground so that they
form a diamond shape and do as many pushups as possible
with a smooth tempo

Notes
These will be challenging, let's push! Don't go so heavy that
you miss reps. Be humble with your weight and focus on
keeping your torso upright
Emphasize the stretch in your hamstrings, prevent your lower
back from rounding
Take medium strides, minimize the amount you push off your
rear leg
Lift with a slow tempo. The positive should take 3 seconds and
the negative should take 3 seconds.
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Contract your glutes and position your elbows under your eyes
to make the plank more difficult
15° bench angle, tuck your elbows on the negative, flare as
you press
Don't stop in between reps, keep smooth and controlled
tension on the delts
Do one set with low cable position, one set with medium-
height cable position, and one height with a high cable
position
Start with your elbows in front of you and palms facing in.
Rotate the dumbbells so that your palms face forward as you
press.
