Pull day: Over six weeks, this progression focuses on two primary exercises: Landmine Meadow Row/DB Bent Over Elbowing Row or Hip Thrust/Glute Bridge. The movements will alternate weekly to provide a novel stimulus and keep the training engaging. The program emphasizes progressive overload, with variations in increasing total reps or adjusting weights to ensure continued adaptation and growth. Light stimulus to the glutes on pulling days is a great way to get a few more reps in this area each week without overfatiguing these muscles for the lower body days.

Single Drop Set to Form Failure: On your drop set, keep a band close by so you can easily add band assistance to perform your drop set. If no band is available, perform 5 Pull Up Negatives with a 3-5 sec lowering.
