​Full Body A…

Lower body


  • Lying leg curl
    • Warm-up: 1 × 12 @ 45
    • 2 × 8 @ 75
    • Stop around 1 RIR


  • Leg extension
    • 2 × 8 @ 160
    • Controlled eccentric; stop about 1 RIR


  • Standing calf raise
    • 2 × 10 @ 170
    • Full pause in the stretched position
    • Keep this bilateral


Chest and back — superset


  • Reverse Incline Hammer Press
    • 8-7-4 260-270-285 
    • 285 @ 1 RIR


  • Close-grip neutral pulldown
    • 2 × 8 @ 200
    • Red Handle - Slightly underhand 
    • Drive elbows toward your hips without leaning far backward


Chest and back — superset


  • Pec deck
    • 2 × 12 @ 140
    • Use a controlled stretch rather than chasing maximum depth


  • Chest-supported 
    • 8–7–7 @ 290-320-345 
    • Since 340 was about 3 RIR 


Shoulders


  • Unilateral Cable lateral raise
    • 3 × 12 @ 25
    • Stop 1–2 reps before form deteriorates


Arms — superset


  • Preacher Machine Curl
    • 2 × 8 @ 100
    • This changes the resistance profile from the EZ-bar curls in B


  • Dip machine
    • 2 × 8 @ 210
    • Aim for 1–2 RIR


AVG HR - 116 BPM

MAX HR - 162 BPM


The main changes from B are:


  • No leg press, giving your back and hips a break from loaded hip/knee flexion.
  • Neutral pulldowns replace sternum pull-ups.
  • Pec deck replaces the low-to-high fly.
  • Lateral delts replace the rear-delt/upright-row emphasis.
  • Machine/preacher curls replace EZ-bar curls.
  • No overhead extension, because B already gives your triceps considerable work through pressing, extensions, and dips.

MAX HR - 131 BPM
