TODAY'S
WORKOUT

Duration: 8 minutes.

Instructions: Complete 2 rounds of all 6 moves. Move smoothly, rest only as needed, and prepare the hips, shoulders and trunk for hinging and pulling.

Format: Descending ladder.

Time Cap: 14 minutes.

Instructions: Complete 15-12-9-6 reps of every exercise in order. Rest only after each full round if needed. Choose a load that leaves 2-3 clean reps in reserve and keep each hinge and row crisp.

Use 12-9-6 instead of 15-12-9-6. Use a lighter single-arm row or supported single-arm row. Skip the Optional Advanced Tier.

Option 1: Add one final round of 6 reps to all 4 ladder exercises.

Option 2: Keep 15-12-9-6 and use a slightly heavier kettlebell on the deadlift and glute bridge.

Option 3: In the finisher, repeat minute 3 again after minute 5 for one extra core minute.

Complete the standard workout first. Add this challenge only if you still feel strong, your technique remains solid, and you want the most intense version of the session.

Format: 4-minute circuit.

Instructions: Complete 2 rounds of all 3 exercises. Rest only after each full round if needed. Stay sharp through the hinge, brace hard, and keep the pace controlled.

Format: EMOM, 6 minutes.

Instructions: Start a new minute on the minute. Follow the exercise shown for that minute, then rest for the remainder of the minute. Repeat for mins 4-6. Keep the trunk steady and the reps clean throughout.

Duration: 4 minutes.

Instructions: Breathe slowly and let the shoulders, hips and back soften with each position.

Builds posterior-chain muscle and strength through controlled hinging, rowing and glute work, while unilateral loading and core training challenge trunk and shoulder stability. The descending ladder creates sustained muscular tension without rushing, and the mobility work helps restore comfortable movement through the hips, shoulders and back.
