Specific Warm-up
Round 1: 8 Barbell Lunges (4 each leg) @light weight
Round 1: 6 Barbell Lunges (3 each leg) @moderate weight
Round 1: 4 Barbell Lunges (2 each leg) @slightly below starting weight
MANAGEMENT:
This warm-up progression will help them choose their weight for the working sets
Strength
Barbell Lunges 5x12 (6 each leg)
FOCUS:
This will be our Single Leg Strength movement for this cycle, reps will decrease, weight should increase
Barbell on your back, you can take it from the rack, Lunges can be forward or reverse…chest up, back knee gently touches the ground, drive through your front heel to stand to full hip extension…alternate legs on every rep for 12 total 6 per leg
It’s week 1, start light then progress from there
WORK/REST RATIO:
Every 2:30 for 12:30 minutes, this should be plenty of time to share equipment if needed
Accessory Work
DB Complex: 4 sets
6 DB Good Mornings +
8 DB Goblet Squats +
10 DB Step-ups (5 each leg)
FOCUS:
We will utilize Tempo, Pause, Drop Sets, DB Complexes and Pyramid rep schemes for our accessory work in this cycle
Today we will do a Lower Body DB Complex, you will use the same weight for all movements
DB Good Mornings: hold the DB behind your neck, slight bend in the knee, core braced, keep a neutral spine, push your hips back until you get a good stretch in the hamstring, then back up and flex your butt at the top, after finishing all reps immediately into the DB Goblet Squats
DB Goblet Squats: hold both or one head of the DB in front of you, get good full depth with your chest up, drive through the floor with both feet, stand all the way up to full hip extension, after finishing all reps immediately go into the step-ups
Step-ups: we did Barbell Step-ups last cycle and DB Step-ups the cycle before that so they should be pretty familiar by now…pick a box or bench height that puts the leg with the foot on the box at roughly 90 degrees, hold the DB wherever you want, keep your chest up, get your whole foot on the box, focus on only using the foot on the box the best you can, drive through your whole foot to full hip extension with both feet on the box, alternate legs each rep, 10 total, 5 each leg
After completing all reps of all movements then rest
WORK/REST RATIO:
Every 3:00 for 12 minutes, this should be plenty of time to share equipment if needed
