F7 GST B Hamstrings and Calves

Total time 53:45 (8:15 faster with progressions on SLS and SL. Good pace)

Weight: 170


SLS 0 - 11:30

SLS/SE3 5rx5

Single Leg Squat

5r SLS/SE3-iM for each work set

Glute Ham Raises 

Fries hamstrings. Wow. Focus on minimizing arm assistance on both eccentric and concentric phase. 


Jefferson Curls 12:30 - 19:00

95 x 5 x 5

Hamstring Curl 20:30 - 28:15
Warm-up 90 x 12
130 x 8 great set
130 x 8
130 x 8 felt strong 
115 x 12 broken set with a few breaths after 6 before finishing. 
Constant tension, no jerking or pulling. Form perfect in every rep

Calf Raises 29:30 - 39:15

145 x 10 per position 
145 x 10 per position 
145 x 10 per position 

Dropped weight from 175 to 145 to focus more on shortening the muscle to the max, rather than pumping out reps. I think there's an inch or two of gold that you're not mining. 

This sucks!!! I almost quit 4 times. Keep this weight for a while. Form is everything. 

SL 41:00 - 47:00

SL/PE10: 4x8r

1/2 Windshield Wipers

Tough without back support, but if done on Smith Machine, you can get full ROM. 

5r SL/PE10-iM for each work set

Bent Hurdler Hold 10#


MN 47:45 - 53:45

MN/PE9: 3x3r

V to L Hanging Leg Lifts

These are brutal! Legs coming down with momentum are very hard to stop. I know these would be easier with back support, but I don't have that luxury right now. 

5r MN/PE8-iM for each work set

Weighted Bench Pike Squats 55#

Killers. Make sure knees lock out on every rep. 

Overall a great workout.
