position, then lowered and raised in that position. very hard.
3 sets : 5 to 8

STANDING STRAIGHT LEG CABLE ADDUCTION

and wear ankle cuffs that hook to cable if you have them.
otherwise rig up a heavy glute band or strap around
your ankle.

2. ATG NORDIC LEG CURL
keep body in full extension if possible and use a deload

the flat bottom position.
4 sets : failure

3. SINGLE LEG DB RDL/
BILATERAL DB RDL
ramp up sets are done unilaterally and the
working sets are done conventionally with
with a hip width stance ( and much heavier hopefully).
3 sets: 6-6-6 single leg
1 set : 6 bilateral warm up set
1 set : 6 max effort + drop 6

4. DB JEFFERSON SQUAT
*i left barbell cues but use dumbbells as indicated
sumo stance with wide alternating grip on barbell.  your
stance will be at sideways 45 degree angle to the barbell also.
make sure you track your knees over toes on both legs. this will
really tell you what your hip mobility is like side to side.
4 sets : 12-12-10-10
*keep in mind there are two positions for this lift so that’s why it’s listed
as this so you can even things up by alternating stances each set for the same rep
range

5. SEATED BB GOOD MORNING
feet together and point toes up with heels
on the floor. use a plyo box or a flat bench
for seated position. this will put a crazy stretch
on the hamstrings.
3 sets : 8 to 12

superset with

SEATED LEG EXTENSION 21’S
first 7 reps are top half range
second 7 are full range
last 7 are bottom end range
3 sets : 21-21-21 (ish)
