hip width stance with ankles plantar flexed
3 sets : 15-10-6 + drop 6

2 sets : 0 RIR/failure
2. SINGLE LEG DB RDL ( DUALLY LOADED )
lead leg in standard rdl position with dbs held at sides. rear foot is rested against
squat rack post for stability ( kinda like a Bulgarian but just pressure against the rack )
run standard hinge for rdl. do both sides ( stride length with rear foot support will vary
anatomically )

rest periods : 2 min
*prog overload each set in succession

bias hamstrings. this is like a leg curl/hip thrust done in a fixed
position.
