Tap any movement to see the tutorial. Rest periods are part of the work.
Mobility
Go through both movements, then rest one minute. Two rounds.
Run it the same way. This pair opens the hips before you load the bar.
Core
This comes before the bar. Brace hard on every rep. The lift that follows is built on this.
The Lift
One filler set of five pull ups, bodyweight only. Move at a slow and controlled pace to open up for the working sets. Effort climbs across the sets: easy on the first, one or two reps left on the last, never zero. Squat and Romanian deadlift use the same bar, so strip the load between them.
