Accessory
B1. Dumbbell RDL: 3 sets of 6-8 reps #smfdbrdl #gymmydbrdl
Notes: It's important to use a weight you can control. Use your hamstrings to glide the weight down your legs, and use your hamstrings to bring them back to start. Focus on keeping your back stiff with your lats squeezed to hold the weight.
B2. Leg Curl Machine: 3 sets of 12-15 reps #smflegcurlmachine #gymmylegcurlmachine
Notes: Heavy weight.
C1. DB Bulgarian Split Squat: 3 sets of 8 reps per leg #smfdbbulgariansplitsquat #gymmydbbulgariansplitsquat
Notes: For greater glute activation, bring the bent knee closer to the ground. You can hold one dumbbell in each hand, you can hold a dumbbell in one hand only, or you can use a straightbar to throw the weight on your shoulders versus in your hands.
C2. Banded Good Morning: 3 sets of 15-20 reps #smfbandedgoodmorning #gymmybandedgoodmorning
