Carrie

Starting the last four weeks over again because deployment is not gentle on my schedule.

Laura

That first 4x3 was really fun. Feeling stronger as I get through the program. So good.

Rachel

Threw my back out last time I tried this workout, rested up and tried again today. Stuck at the same deadlift PR of 275, 280 just won’t move. Getting real tired of hip thrusts but I know they work lol. Still a little sore in the back so my RDLs didn’t feel targeted as much

LEGS (Hamstring Focused)

- Barbell Deadlift
- Barbell Hip Thrust
- Barbell RDL
- Single Leg Dumbbell RDL
- Machine Seated Leg Curl
- Cable Single Leg Kickback
- Abduction Machine

- 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 3

Barbell Deadlift

- 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 10 (w/ 2 second hold)

Barbell Hip Thrust

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

3 x 6-8

Barbell RDL

- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent and raise one leg off the floor
- Hinge at your hips, and lower your torso until it’s almost parallel to the floor
- Lift back up engaging your glutes and driving the hips forward
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

3 x 10 each side

Single Leg Dumbbell RDL

- Adjust the machine lever to fit your height and sit on the machine with your back against the back support pad
- Place the back of lower leg on top of padded lever (just a few inches under the calves) and secure the lap pad against your thighs, just above the knees
- Then grasp the side handles on the machine as you point your toes straight and ensure that the legs are extended right in front of you
- As you exhale, pull the machine lever as far as possible to the back of your thighs by flexing at the knees
- Keep your torso stationary at all times
- Hold the contracted position for a second
- Slowly return to the starting position as you inhale

3 x 12-15

Machine Seated Leg Curl

- 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

3 x 10 each side

Cable Single Leg Kickback

Good workout, I added some chest in there

How do I get better at strict press? It ends up being a push press which I can control much better and with heavier weights
