Description: Back & Hamstrings

Watch the intro video to see what to prepare for for this workout 🙌🏽

First round, technique, slow and controlled. 
Start with a weight that’s your 60% for deadlifts, then increase to 70% then 75%

If you’re new to pull ups, then replace the weighted pull ups with regular pull ups with a jump. And replace my unweighted pull ups with pull ups with a resistance band.

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

Romanian Deadlifts

- Start with the weight strapped around your waist. Another option is to put ankle weights or hold a dumbbells with your feet.
- Grip the bar, palms underneath the bar 
- Chin up until your chin reaches over the bar
- Slowly lower back down

Weighted Chin Ups

- Hold the bar with your palms facing you
- Pull up engaging your back 
- Go up until your chin goes past the bar

Chin Ups

Set A

- Start with the bar on the floor , opposite grips to avoid imbalance while lifting.
- remember to pull by pushing your legs into the floor and not by pulling the bar up. 
- rotate your shoulders back and squeeze your shoulder blade together, 
- pull with the bar right on your shins.
- squeeze at the top. 
- Slowly lower the weight with a slight bend in your knees, then bend your knees and drop the weight. 
- repeat by driving your hips forward and use your hamstrings to power back to standing
