Week 1 · Session C · Posterior Chain & Single-Leg

Hamstrings, glutes and the back of the hip — the tissue that extends the stride and the tissue that tears when it is undertrained. Heavy hinge first, then the single-leg and eccentric work that keeps it healthy. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Take the last set of each lift to two reps in reserve.

This week

Week 1 is re-entry: own the technique and the range, and leave every set feeling like two more were there.
