Didn’t want to irritate my knee so didn’t do the lunges. But overall the workout was awesome!

*Hold The Squeeze For 2 Seconds*

- Stay leaned forward to place more emphasis on the hamstrings, especially in the stretch.
- Keep your butt on the seat.
- Lead with your heels.
- Curl your heels towards your butt and hold the squeeze.
- Fight the weight on the way up using just your hamstrings into a full stretch.

Leaning Forward Seated Leg Curl

- Feet outside shoulder width and higher on the platform.
- Pressure on your heels and outsides of your feet.
- Brace your core as you slowly lower the weight down into a stretch. 
- Make sure you don’t go too deep and that your butt doesn’t “roll up” in the bottom of the movement. 
- Drive your knees out and use your hamstrings/glutes to press the weight back up.
- Do not lock out your knees at the top.

Wide + High Stance Leg Press

*Reps are PER SIDE!*

- Plant the working foot securely into the ground with a lot of pressure on your heel.
- Find something to stare at ahead of you and do not lose sight of It throughout your entire set to help with your balance. 
- Take a big step back and drop your back knee to the ground.
- Use your hamstrings and glute to drive you back up to the beginning position.

Reverse Barbell Lunge

*Squeeze for 2 seconds at the top HARD!*
*Let the weight come down all the way and come to a complete stop on every rep!*

- Stack your heels directly under your knees. Don’t place them too far away or too close to you. Find that sweet spot.
- Press through your HEELS at all times to help place tension on your hamstrings and glutes. 
- Keep your chin tucked at all times throughout this movement. Think about trying to make a “double chin”.
- Keep your arms locked and pressing “away” from the bar.
- As you drive the weights up and squeeze hard at the top, your goal is to try to make your torso and legs align and be parallel to the floor.

Barbell Hip Thrusts - DeadStops

- Elevate your toes to place emphasis on your heels and engage your hamstrings more.
- Drive your hips back behind you as you lower your torso overtop of the weight. 
- Keep the pressure on the heels of your feet to engage the hamstrings. 
- Allow the bar to ride up and down your legs. Keep It tight and don’t let It drift out in front of you.

Stiff Leg Deadlifts (Toes Elevated)

- Press through your heels on every step to utilize your hamstrings and glutes.
- No narrow steps. Take big steps.
- Find something to look at straight ahead of you and don’t lose eye contact with It to help with your balance.

Barbell Walking Lunge

If done properly your calves should be under tension for ~40 seconds every set.

1 Set =
10 Full Range Reps
10 Second Hold In The Stretch
10 Second Hold On Tip Toes
10 Partial Fast Reps

Calf Burner! 🔥

- Full range of motion.
