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.
Begin seated on the ground with a bench directly behind you. Have a loaded barbell over your legs. Using a fat bar or having a pad on the bar can greatly reduce the discomfort caused by this exercise.

moderate, clean squeeze

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.
Begin by adjusting the equipment to fit your body. Place your feet against the footplate in between the rollers as you lie facedown. Your knees should be just behind the pad.

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

Move slowly enough that you keep tension where you want it instead of letting the setup yank you around.
Connect a standard handle to a tower, and—if possible—position the cable to shoulder height. If not, a low pulley will suffice.
