Accessory
B1. Barbell RDL: 3 sets of 6-8 reps #smfbarbellrdl #gymmybarbellrdl
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. Front Rack Lunge (Forward or Reverse): 3 sets of 8 reps per leg #smffrontracklunge #gymmyfrontracklunge
Notes: A reverse lunge is more stable, making it less challenging. A forward lunge requires greater stability, which makes it more challenging.
C2. Sumo Landmine RDL: 3 sets of 15-20 reps #smfsumolandminerdl #gymmysumolandminerdl
Notes: If you don’t have access to a landmine accessory, grab a dumbbell. Position your feet in a sumo position and perform an RDL.

Notes: You can use a barbell, pre-loaded bar, or long loop band.
D2. Leg Curl Machine (yes, again): 3 sets of 25-30 reps #smflegcurlmachine #gymmylegcurlmachine
Notes: Light/moderate weight. Start with a moderate weight for as many reps as possible, then drop weight and perform until you reach 25-30 reps.
