— SESSION —
this is a glute ham raise variation with
more of a fwd to backward emphasis going from
lengthening hamstring as you go fwd – to pulling
straight back as you shorten it. you will need to use
assistance. i set this up using a nordic glute ham
bench – but can be done with a low setting on a smith machine or a
lat pulldown with a plyo box out in front of it to hand support.
4 sets : failure

SPOTTER ARM SET DEPTH
stance is just outside hip width with
toes slightly out and heels elevated. set
spotter arms at just below parallel squat depth.

*widowmaker is 20 rep set with 8-10 rep
weight on the bar and done without re-racking the weight
and using rest pauses.
rear foot elevated to ankle and bar is
held suspended under you below the the hips.
3 sets : 12-10-8
*do both stances each set
a glute pad on in at upper calf height. wedge yourself

across the quad and thrust up using a quad
drive.

SEATED LEG EXTENSION SEQUENCE
using a hip width stance, follow these cues for
one giant set.
1 : lean fwd as you perform reps as listed
2 : sit back and perform reps to fatigue
3 : hold the last rep of sequence 2 at the top,
and you’ll be able to push your hips up in the
air and back down against this tension and
feel the muscle continue to be stressed.
1 set : 15 to 20 – fatigue – failure
