The Anvil

Heavy compounds. Own the load.

  1. 01

    Back Squat

    4 × 58 · rest 3:00 · Quads · Glutes

    Brace like a punch is coming. Sit between the hips. Drive the floor away.

  2. 02

    Romanian Deadlift

    3 × 810 · rest 2:00 · Hams · Glutes · Back

    Soft knees. Push the hips back until the hamstrings scream. Bar stays on the legs.

  3. 03

    Leg Press

    3 × 1012 · rest 1:30 · Quads · Glutes

    Feet mid-platform. Don't lock out angry. Controlled depth, no pelvis curl.

The Fire

Volume that grows the muscle.

  1. 01

    Walking Lunge

    3 × 1012 · rest 1:30 · Quads · Glutes

    Long stride, knee tracks the toe. Each side counts as one rep.

  2. 02

    Lying Leg Curl

    3 × 1012 · rest 1:15 · Hams

    Hips glued down. Curl hard, lower slower than you want to.

  3. 03

    Standing Calf Raise

    4 × 1015 · rest 1:00 · Calves

    Full stretch at the bottom. Pause at the top. No bouncing.

  4. 04

    Hanging Knee Raise

    3 × 1015 · rest 1:00 · Core

    Posterior tilt. Lift with the abs, not the swing.
