Week 5 · 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.

This week

The strength phase opens. Reps drop, load climbs, rest gets long. Every working set is heavy and honest.
