Warm-Up
Strength
Heavy but clean. Elbows high, stay upright. These should be hard but never ugly. Add weight only when all five reps look the same.
Slow descent — three seconds to your shins. Feel every inch of your hamstrings. Drive hips forward to stand.
Superset A
Long strides, back knee barely touches the floor. Keep your torso upright. These get ugly around rep 8 — fight for good form.
Slow on the eccentric — three seconds. Squeeze your hamstrings at the peak contraction.
Finisher
Moderate weight, high reps. Full range of motion — knees track over toes, go deep. This is where the quad growth happens.
Full stretch at the bottom, hard squeeze at the top. Pause for one second at peak contraction.
Cool-Down
Check off each set as you go. Complete the full workout to mark it done.
