Workout:

  1. Heavy Barbell hip thrusters, 4 sets of 6 with a 3 second down phase and a 1 second pause at the top, superset with 60 second heavy dumbbell holds, one in each arm (builds that grip strength for heavy barbell movements and life in general; stand straight up, keep shoulders engaged / not sagging)

    Pick an aggressive pace and stick with it, for example consider trying to get each round done in 60 seconds, completing 8 rounds, or 45 seconds completing 10+ rounds…
