Workout Notes:
“Hey WTH?! THIS isn’t our regular Thursday stuff!” Good eye friend, explanation in video below.
These are best done in straight sets.
Before you perform your first “work set” take 2 or 3 warm-up sets with a lighter weight.
Perform reps at high speed without sacrificing form.
Perform the warm-ups by progressively getting faster and faster. Not to the point of poor form though.
Perfect form on those back squats! If you have a little back trouble, keep the movement a little shallow today. We have a VERY long time to get lower and lower. It’ll come. Don’t force it today.
See vid for thoughts on staying seated during HEAVY pull-downs.
