Description: New 5x5 B2 (no squat)

New setup for the time being is taking out the squat to give a little break to our spine and low back.

Feel free to squat instead if you prefer - and let’s add in the calves regardless of which method you prefer!

These are great AM or quick workouts when you need to get it in but don’t have a ton of time before work or whenever.

- Press directly up overhead
- Lower slowly down to chin height
- First set is your warmup (use a lighter weight)
- Slowly add weight to your 5RM (RM = rep max)

Seated Barbell Shoulder Press*

- Keeping your back flat against the pad
- Lower your leg towards your chest
- Drive through your heels to press back to starting position

16 = 8 per side etc

Single Leg Press (feet center)

- Place feet so that only your upper foot and toes are on the platform
- Push platform away engaging calves
- Return to starting position under control
- Allow for a nice stretch at the bottom
- Keep a microbend in the knee

Leg press calf raise

Single Leg Press / Calf Superset

Use assisted rack to start back pulling off the ground. 
Slowly lower down your shins. 
Think about moving your hips backwards and forwards vs pulling with your arms and back.
