- Stagger your feet slightly and distance them slightly outside of shoulder width.
- Heels in and toes pointed out. 
- As you lower, allow your knees to travel out in the direction of your toes.
- NOTICE the bar stays on a diagonal between my legs. Do NOT try to keep the bar straight or you are going to have a world of troubles.

Jefferson Squats

- We are basically doing a reverse Leg Curl here.
- Brace yourself against the Leg Curl machine, facing in the opposite direction of where you normally would.
- Start with your leg fully extended out and your toes pointed to the ceiling.
- Drive your knee straight up and allow your hip flexors (upper quads) to do all the work.

Hip Flexor Curls

Warm Up!

3 Second Negatives!

- I’m not a fan of “ass to the grass” squats. Especially if we are just looking for maximal activation under minimal risk.
- Avoid a posterior pelvic tilt (better known as a butt wink) at the bottom of your squats. This differs from person to person.
- For me personally, going lower than 90 degrees is when I notice my “butt wink” so I always try to control my moves and stop before that!
- Brace your core before every rep to keep you tight and give you more stability!

Barbell Squats

* I reverse banded here to match the strength curve of this movement, which in turn gave me some assistance in the bottom of the squat where we are generally weaker, but allowed my legs to take on the full load as I approached the top half of the movement and the bands loosened up! *

- Shoulder width stance.
- Heels pointed inward slightly, toes out. 
- Allow your knees to travel “out” in the direction of your feet.
- Press through your heels/outside of feet.

Hack Squat (Reverse Banded)

* 2 Second Negatives! *

- Feet inside shoulder width.
- 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. 
- Do not lock out your knees at the top.

Narrow Stance Leg Press

* 2 Second Negatives! *

- 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

Compound Set #1

- Point your toes towards the ceiling.
- Keep your butt pressed to the bench and don’t let It come off.
- Lower the weight into a complete stretch without letting the weight rest at the bottom.
- Explosively drive the weight up into a full contraction.

Leg Extensions

Do Bodyweight lunges here if need be.

- Find something ahead of you to stare at during your sets to improve your balance.
- Take big steps out in front of you, not narrow.
- Hinge your hips back and sit into the heel of your working leg.
- Press through the heel of your foot to drive yourself up and forward using your hamstrings and glutes!

Barbell Walking Lunge

Compound Set #2

* Set the safety bars up one notch and come to a complete stop at the bottom of each rep. *

- 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 (Deadstops)

FST 7 Training! Let’s complete 7 sets with a 30 second test between each set to finish these hammies off!

- Keep your butt on the seat and back up against the support.
- 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.
