Posterior Chain Reset

Posterior-chain anchor chosen from the retrieved pool instead of repeating the same lower-body stressor by default. Retrieved option uses barbell.

• Drive through the feet and finish each rep cleanly without turning it into a grind.
• Put a barbell in front of you on the ground and grab it using a pronated (palms facing down) grip that a little wider than shoulder width. Tip: Depending on the weight used, you may need wrist wraps to perform the exercise and also a raised platform in order to allow for better range of motion.

light to moderate cable load; all 4 sets should stay smooth

Knee-dominant slot that keeps the session grounded while letting history and feedback decide whether to repeat or rotate. Retrieved option uses machine.

• Use the smoothest range you can repeat with confidence and back off if the first work set feels worse than expected.
• To begin, place a flat bench 2-3 feet behind the smith machine. Then, set the bar on the height that best matches your height. Once the correct height is chosen and the bar is loaded, step under the bar and place the back of your shoulders (slightly below the neck) across it.

Hamstring accessory chosen from practical retrieved options so the plan has real substitutes if one station is busy. Retrieved option uses machine.

• Own the squeeze and lower each rep with control instead of chasing more load.
• Adjust the machine lever to fit your height and lie with your torso bent at the waist facing forward around 30-45 degrees (since an angled position is more favorable for hamstrings recruitment) with the pad of the lever on the back of your right leg (just a few inches under the calves) and the front of the right leg on top of the machine pad.

Simple trunk slot from the retrieved pool so the session stays easy to execute in a busy gym. Retrieved option uses machine.

• Move slowly enough that you keep tension where you want it instead of letting the setup yank you around.
• Select a light resistance and sit down on the ab machine placing your feet under the pads provided and grabbing the top handles. Your arms should be bent at a 90 degree angle as you rest the triceps on the pads provided. This will be your starting position.
