2.0 is my favorite one. I’ve completed them all but I came back to this one because I love it.

For exercises like hip thrusts, I am a beginner, so it would be great to see a video on how to set up the equipment and how to get into the dip to avoid injury

Victoria

LEGS (Hamstring Focused)

- Barbell Deadlift
- Barbell Good Morning 
- Barbell Hip Thrust
- Dumbbell RDL
- Rounded-back Extension 

Superset:
- Cable Abduction
- Cable Glute Kickback

- Approach the bar so that it is centered over your feet
- Take a big breath and then lower your hips and flex the knees until your shins contact the bar
- Look forward with your head
- Keep your chest up, begin driving through the heels to move the weight upward
- After the bar passes the knees aggressively pull the bar back, pulling your shoulder blades together as you drive your hips forward into the bar
- Lower the bar by bending at the hips and guiding it to the floor
- The bar path should be straight up and down in the pull and as you lower the bar

4 x 12,10,8,6 (increase weight each set)

Barbell Deadlift

- Start with the bar across the upper back
- Keep your back tight, shoulder blades pinched together, and your knees slightly bent
- Begin by bending at the hips, moving them back as you hinge forward to near parallel
- Keep your back straight and your cervical spine in proper alignment
- Reverse the motion by extending through the hips with your glutes and hamstrings returning to the starting position

3 x 12

Barbell Good Morning

- Sit on the ground with a bench behind you, bending your knees so your feet are planted on the ground and holding a barbell resting below your hips
- Lean back so your shoulders are on the bench and position the bar above your hips
- Drive your hips up lifting the bar
-  In the top position your knees should be bent at 90° and your shoulders should be near the top of the bench, with your body forming a straight line between them
- Pause at the top of the lift and squeeze your glutes
- Lower your hips slowly

3 x 15

Barbell Hip Thrust

- Slowly lower the dumbbells with a slight bend in your knees, hinging at the hips and keeping your back straight
- Lower the dumbbells until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings
- Drive your hips forward and use your glutes and hamstrings to power back to standing

4 x 10

Dumbbell RDL

3 x 10 weighted 
(no rest between)
3 x 10 bodyweight

- Start in the prone position, holding a weight for added resistance
- You want to internally rotate your shoulders and deliberately round your upper back, to make sure the majority of the tension is in your glutes on the contraction
- As you descend, you’ll feel most of the tension in your hamstrings, but some will be in your glutes
- Go to a range of motion that gives you a good stretch in your hamstrings but if you don’t feel a massive stretch here, that’s okay because this range of motion will vary depending on your individual mobility and flexibility
- Pause for a second at the top and bottom, and initiate the movement by contracting your glutes as hard as possible, back to the starting position
- Try to imagine initiating the movement by squeezing your butt cheeks together
- Remember to keep your upper back rounded so you don’t begin to rely solely on your lower back for the movement

Weighted Rounded Back Extension

- Start in the prone position with your arms crossed forward off the shoulders
- You want to internally rotate your shoulders and deliberately round your upper back, to make sure the majority of the tension is in your glutes on the contraction
- As you descend, you’ll feel most of the tension in your hamstrings, but some will be in your glutes
- Go to a range of motion that gives you a good stretch in your hamstrings but if you don’t feel a massive stretch here, that’s okay because this range of motion will vary depending on your individual mobility and flexibility
- Pause for a second at the top and bottom, and initiate the movement by contracting your glutes as hard as possible, back to the starting position
- Try to imagine initiating the movement by squeezing your butt cheeks together
- Remember to keep your upper back rounded so you don’t begin to rely solely on your lower back for the movement

Rounded Back Extension

- Cable Abduction 3 x 15 each side
- Cable Glute Kickback 3 x 15 each side

- Attach an ankle strap to one ankle and hook it up to a low cable pulley
- Stand perpendicular to the pulley with your strapped ankle farthest away from the pulley
- Step away from the pulley so that the cable is pulled taut and your strapped leg is pulled across your unstrapped leg
- Grasp something for stability and place your free hand on your hip
- Keeping both legs straight, exhale as you pull your strapped ankle away from the pulley until it is fully abducted
- Inhale as you slowly return your strapped leg to the starting position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Cable Abduction

- Attach an ankle cuff to a lower cable pulley
- Stand in front of a cable pulley machine (about 2 feet away) so your working legs ankle is in line with the pulley
- Attach the ankle cuff to your ankle
- Set the desired weight on the pulley machine (it’s best to start light and work your way up)
- Hold the frame for support and hinge at the hips
- With your core engaged, and knees slightly bent, squeeze your glutes to pull your working leg backwards
- Keep your opposite leg firmly planted to provide balance
- Slowly lower your leg to the starting position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Cable Single Leg Kickback
