Force A2
Warm-Up:
Incline Bench / BA Ballistic Push-Up
DOH RDL / EQI Reverse Nordic
FFE Same-Side Split Squat / Nordic
5 nordic, neat. How did you progress into doing those? Negatives? Built strength on the leg curl first? Iāve seen a lot of people do it without a torso angle that stays in alignment with the femur and will allow their torso to remain parallel with the ground until essentially they can finish the move with a back extension. Would you consider this proper?
Nah those were eccentrics, not up-downs
Ill get my first proper Nordic soon ![]()
These are often called Razor Curls over here in Australia, I donāt think thereās anything wrong with them. Direct hamstring training is nearly always a good thing.
However, Iām not sure if theyāre any easier than Nordics, since both razors and Nordics place you in that knee+hip extended position. I do like how razors have more tension in the top/bent-knee position though
TLDR: both are fine, I think the difference is minimal

SA Triceps Pushdown / Crucifix External Rotations
Did you not log inbetween sessions or did you take a break from training?
Bit of both. I took about 12 days off weights, but was getting some bodyweight work, sprints and basketball in here and there. Iāve been getting a bit sick of the weightroom, so Iām trying to set up a better routine to follow now
Fell off the wagon big time these last few weeks. Minimal training, very poor eating and shirking a lot of work/study responsibilities.
Itās time to pull my finger out.

Cool log, just found this. I take it youāre a sprinter?
Hey man, welcome!
I donāt compete in sports any more (other than some social sports on weekends with mates), but used to play a lot of rugby union. In that world, I played mostly as flanker - which is a more speed-oriented position (the fastest of the slow guys) - and speed-oriented training sessions were always my favourite.
I now work as a strength & conditioning coach with volleyball, basketball, swimming, athletics and rugby so a lot of my training is built around the same concepts I would use with my athletes. As such, I try to get lots of sprinting, change-of-direction and jumping throughout the week. As an added bonus, I find I enjoy this way of training much more than the more conventional lifting programs I was running for the last 4 years
Well I like the looks of your workouts, thatās the way I like to train as well. Iām hoping to get back to the track in a month or so when it warms up.
I saw your list of coaches above. What are you thoughts on Mike Young? I think he has a great Instagram page. I was in a big Charlie Francis binge last summer.
To be completely honest, I hadnāt heard of him before but Iāll start following him more closely ![]()
Hahah me too. I read most of Francisā books last year and it completely changed a lot of my programming style.
