Get some rotation in ya, it’s good stuff.

Low box has been feeling pretty good recently.

Using the box as a way to gain confidence and strength in my hips in the bottom of the squat.

You could also use it for people who are new to squats and tend to shy away from going deep.

Find a box height just under parallel and get them to squat to that and help them build confidence in the bottom and help them figure out how to use their hips.

Compression work is hard so you want to cheat it.

Very small detail this but it makes a difference.

If you’re struggling to improve you compression strength this could why, but also you may be using too hard of a progression so find a better regression more suited to you.

Give yourself somewhere to go.

If week 1 feels hard, your making reps look hard or your overshooting percentages/rpe and maybe even missing a rep here or there

You’ve not fully understood the idea around programming or it hasn’t been explained to you in the right way.

At the moment you’re trying to get to where you want to be too fast, and if week 1 feels hard where are you going to be or go to over the next 8 or 12 weeks.

If you’re feeling fatigued/sore/restricted in week 1 from training how is the body going to feel week to week.

Build a base and build intensity over the 8 or 12 weeks to give yourself the best chance of progress.

I’m not saying you can’t push when you feel good but I’m not sure week 1 is the time to do this.

This hits the hamstrings and glutes hard, I reckon it took about 3-4 weeks for my hamstrings to feel normal after lifting the stones.

Anyway start light and asses your tolerance to the exercise.

If you really need to you could perform it off blocks depending on your flexibility.

Not saying you don’t need to warm up but, there can be a middle ground of not having one and having to do too much.

If you only have 60-90 minutes to train and 20-30 minutes of it is warming up, what are we doing?

Becoming more flexible by biasing your accessories into range work will start to shorten the warm up you feel like you need.

It will also help you hit better positions, instead of just trying to hit the position in the lift over and over again and failing.

This isn’t a forever thing either, once your ranges are at a good enough point these can then be maintained.

Maintaining is easier than building.
