Coach Notes

Squat: 185 for straight 6 reps clean, no rest-pause. If you can't hit 6 on any set, drop to 175 next session.

Lunges: 95 lbs BB on your back, controlled step, back knee kisses the floor. No bouncing.

Leg curl: full range, squeeze at peak contraction. These round out the posterior chain I used to skip.

Bench: 100 lbs x 6-8 clean, no rest-pause. Pause on the chest, full lockout. If you need a spot, ask.

Shoulder Press: strict, don't arch the lower back. 30 lb DBs for 8-10 reps before bumping to 32.5.

Lateral Raise superset with Curls: grab both pairs at once, stay in one spot.

Coach Notes

Pull-ups: log total reps per set. You're starting at 9. Add reps before adding load. At 12+ clean, we add a dip belt plate.

Single-arm DB Row: pull the DB to your hip, not your chest. Feel the lat, not the bicep.

Face pulls: thumbs pointing behind you at the top. Protects the shoulder joint.

Coach Notes

Hip thrust: shoulders on bench, feet flat, squeeze glutes hard at the top. Bar across hips with a pad.

DB RDL: 40 lb DBs is the start, not the goal. Chase 3x12 then bump to 45s. Soft knees, hinge at the hip, feel the hamstring stretch.

Bulgarian: front foot forward enough that your knee tracks over the toe, back foot on the bench.

Coach Notes

Shoulder Press is the anchor today. 30 lbs for 8-10 clean. Press overhead, don't lean back.

Bench is volume day. 95 lbs x 8-10, more controlled reps. Not a PR day.

BB Rear Delt Row: bent over, pull bar to lower chest, elbows flared. This is the one you used to do at 95 lbs, dropping to 80 for cleaner form and more reps.

Coach Notes

Deadlift: 205 x 5 clean, no rest-pause. Chalk up, brace hard, take the slack out of the bar. Drop the bar between reps, reset every time.

5 days between squat (Mon) and deadlift (today). That's intentional. Let the heavy hinge breathe.

Bent-Over Row: torso almost parallel to floor, pull to lower chest. The OH row from your old notes, just renamed.

No cardio today. Recovery day for the rest of the weekend.
