Power (hamstring) — the ham PR.

Execution

Everything goes into this one set of 10–12. When the clean reps run out, extend it — a forced rep or two, partials, or a slow negative. Get genuinely stronger here every week.

The cue that matters

Curl with the hamstring and keep the hips down on the pad — lifting the hips shortens the range and hands the work to the lower back.

Common mistake

Using hip thrust to fling the pad up; pin the hips and let the hamstring move the weight.
