Feeling strong beginning the 4th week! Increased weight for each lift!

Week 3-6 our goal is to start progressing within each movement. You can increase weight, increase reps, take shorter rest periods, add in an extra set or include pulses and pauses. I will give guidance in the description but also listen to your body and make adjustments as you need.

Increase weight from previous week
- Pyramid sets which means as reps decrease weight will increase each set
- Last drop weight down and do 20 reps 
- Neutral spine / bending from the sternum and tucking pelvis under 
- Ankle to knee to hip should create a 90 degree angle
- Chin tucked / glance is forward

Barbell Hip Thrust Pyramid

-Hip width apart
-Begin at the top
-Neutral spine
-Core tight 
-Hinge hips back while gliding bar down shins
-Keep neck in-line with spine
-Reverse movement back up

Barbell Romanian Deadlift

- Increase weight from previous week
-Full range of motion to recruit some calf at the beginning of movement
-Drive hips into pad
-Don’t let hips raise to compensate for heavier weight
-Slow and controlled

Hamstring Leg Curl

- Increase weight from previous week
-Sumo wide stance
-Hold DB between legs
-Neutral spine
-Keep tension

DB Sumo 2-Pulse Squat

Set up: thick padding under knees, barbell with plates heavy enough to counter your weight, barbell pad to protect ankles 
- keep a neutral spine
- over the next few weeks main focus is work on how far you can lower body without dropping

Weight at sides or barbell on back
