Always start each exercise with a warm up.
10 reps Weightless
10 reps at 40% (with just the barbell)

How do you benchmark your weight? 

Round 1 at 60% 
(able to complete 10 reps easily)
Round 2 at 70%
(struggle on your last 2 reps)
Round 3 at 80% 
(struggle on your last 4 reps)

Hands behind your head, elbows out till your shoulder blades squeeze together. Drop into a deadlift by pushing your hips back, spine stays straight, keep an arch in your lower back. Squeeze back up.

Warm Up - Good Mornings

Lean back slightly, add resistance, elbows locked, pull the band towards your chest squeeze shoulder blades together for 2s, and then all the way back

Warm Up - Back

Slightly separate your feet and step on the resistance band. Separate your arms equidistant to your shoulders. Lift all the way up right on top of your shoulders, and drop slowly all the way down.

Warm Up - Shoulders & Back

- Start with bar in your hands as opposed to the floor
- Slowly lower the weight while bending your knees (vs. stiff leg deadlift where there is only a micro bend in your knees). 
- bend 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

Barbell Romanian Deadlifts - no weights

It wpuld be nice if you add alternative to some of the tools like the resistance band and how high is the bench

Can’t believe I’m this far in the program! This day made me feel so strong and confident with all the compound exercises!

Quick Q: is set A supposed to have 2 back to back SM leg press? Is it an error, or is there supposed to be a slightly different variation.
