Warm Up: Lateral Lunge

- Begin with bar positioned on your upper back
- Brace your midline and keep your chest up
- Eyes forward as you lower, sitting back and down
- Reach parallel and push through your heels and mid-foot to come back up

Barbell Back Squat

- Adjust the machine lever to fit your height and lie face down on the leg curl machine with the pad of the lever on the back of your legs (just a few inches under the calves) 
- Keeping your torso flat on the bench, ensure your legs are fully stretched and grab the side handles of the machine
- As you exhale, curl your legs up as far as possible without lifting the upper legs from the pad
- Once you hit the fully contracted position, hold it for a second
- As you inhale, bring the legs back to the initial position
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions

Lying Leg Curl

- Lie down on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand resting on top of your thighs. The palms of your hands will be facing each other
- Then, using your thighs to help raise the dumbbells up, lift the dumbbells one at a time so that you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width
- Once at shoulder width, rotate your wrists forward so that the palms of your hands are facing away from you
- The dumbbells should be just to the sides of your chest, with your upper arm and forearm creating a 90 degree angle
- Use your chest to push the dumbbells up 
- Lock your arms at the top of the lift and squeeze your chest, hold for a second and then begin coming down slowly (Ideally, lowering the weight should take about twice as long as raising it)

Dumbbell Bench Press

- Pull the attachment in towards your body
- Keeping your body neutral and core engaged
- Elbows drive towards your hips, squeezing your lats and shoulder blades
- Pause at contraction then slowly return to starting position

Cable Low Row

Perform one set of each exercise back to back followed by the suggested rest time.

- Grab the bar with your palms facing you
- Pull your torso up until your head is above the bar 
- Keeping your elbows close to your body
- Pause at the top and lower with slow controlled motion

Chin-up

- Start with your hands just outside the shoulders 
- Bend at the elbows to come down 
- Keep your core tight as you come down 
- Extend your arms engaging your chest as you come up by aiming to drive the inside of your elbows together

Push Up

superset: Chin Up x Push Up

- Pick a couple of dumbbells and stand with a straight torso and the dumbbells by your side at arms length with the palms of the hand facing you
- While maintaining the torso in a stationary position (no swinging), lift the dumbbells to your side with a slight bend on the elbow and the hands slightly tilted forward as if pouring water in a glass
- Continue to go up until you arms are parallel to the floor
- Pause for a second at the top
- Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions then DROP to a lighter weight and complete the desired reps to finish the set

Lateral Raise Dropset

Preform the first set of each abdominal exercise back to back only resting once fully through the first round. Take the recommended rest time or slightly more if needed. Repeat for each round.

- Hang from a chin-up bar with both arms extended at arms length in top of you using a wide or medium grip
- The legs should be straight down with the pelvis rolled slightly backwards
- Tuck your legs, bringing your knees forward and up to your chest 
- Lower with control to the starting position
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions

Hanging Knee Raise
