L Program - 6x/Week Spreadsheet
Notes
Set up a comfortable arch, quick pause on the chest and
explode up on each rep
Shoulder blades still retracted and depressed. Slight arch in
upper back. Zero leg drive.
Start with your elbows in front of you and palms facing in.
Rotate the dumbbells so that your palms face forward as you
press.
Brace with your non-working arm, squeeze your pecs by
pressing the cable across your body
Hold a pec stretch for 30 seconds. The stretch should be held
at about a 7/10 intensity.
Think about swinging the cable out and up as if "drawing a
sword" from your side
Do the second half of the ROM for pressdowns ("the squeeze")
and the first half of the ROM for overhead extensions ("the
stretch")
Extend your triceps with your arm more out to the side than a
regular pressdown. Feel the stretch as the cable moves across
your torso
Do 4 feeder sets of 10 reps by gradually building the weight up
from set to set. Set 1 is pretty light (RPE 4-5). Set 2 is a little
heavier (RPE 6-7). Set 3 is a little heavier again (RPE 7-8). Set 4
is your hard set: try to hit failure at 10 reps on this last set.
After hitting failure at ~10 reps, do a dropset. Strip the weight
back ~30-50% and do another 5 reps with nice and controlled
technique
Use 3 different grips for the 3 working sets (ideally going from
wider to closer)
Do DB lat pullovers, but cut out the top half of the ROM (stay
entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Hold a lat stretch for 30 seconds. The stretch should be held at
about a 7/10 intensity.
1st set: low-to-high
2nd set: mid-range
3rd set: high-to-low
Focus on contracting your biceps, minimize torso momentum
Do preacher curls, but cut out the top half of the ROM (stay
entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Drop the weight by ~25% from your top set. 2 second pause.
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Maintain a neutral lower back, set your hips back, don't allow
your spine to round
Take medium strides, minimize the amount you push off your
rear leg
Focus on squeezing your hamstrings to move the weight
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Hold a plate or DB to your chest and crunch hard!
Use ~45° incline and a grip width just outside shoulder width
Don't stop in between reps, keep smooth and controlled
tension on the delts
Arc the bar behind your head, allow the bar to come to a dead
stop on the floor between reps
Squeeze your pecs together at the top and feel a big stretch at
the bottom
Kroc rows are basically just a dumbbell row with mild cheating
and a slightly more upright posture. Don't be afraid to go
heavy and use straps if your grip is limiting
Set up two cable handles low and shrug up and in. Squeeze
your upper traps to move the weight.
Swing the weight "out", not "back"
Curl across your body with your arm out to the side at ~60°
Brace your lats, chest tall, pull the slack out of the bar before
lifting
Think about doing a high-hip conventional deadlift with a slight
bend in the knees
Medium width feet placement on the platform, don't allow
your lower back to round
Keep your hips straight, do Nordic ham curls if no GHR
machine
Control the weight with a 3-4 second negative
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Don't swing your legs at the bottom, minimize momentum,
tuck your knees towards your chest if lifting your legs straight
out is too challenging

Drop the weight by ~25% from your top set. 2 second pause.
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Maintain a neutral lower back, set your hips back, don't allow
your spine to round
Take medium strides, minimize the amount you push off your
rear leg
Focus on squeezing your hamstrings to move the weight
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Hold a plate or DB to your chest and crunch hard!
Use ~45° incline and a grip width just outside shoulder width
Don't stop in between reps, keep smooth and controlled
tension on the delts
Arc the bar behind your head, allow the bar to come to a dead
stop on the floor between reps
Squeeze your pecs together at the top and feel a big stretch at
the bottom
Kroc rows are basically just a dumbbell row with mild cheating
and a slightly more upright posture. Don't be afraid to go
heavy and use straps if your grip is limiting
Set up two cable handles low and shrug up and in. Squeeze
your upper traps to move the weight.
Swing the weight "out", not "back"
Curl across your body with your arm out to the side at ~60°
Brace your lats, chest tall, pull the slack out of the bar before
lifting
Think about doing a high-hip conventional deadlift with a slight
bend in the knees
Medium width feet placement on the platform, don't allow
your lower back to round
Keep your hips straight, do Nordic ham curls if no GHR
machine
Control the weight with a 3-4 second negative
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Don't swing your legs at the bottom, minimize momentum,
tuck your knees towards your chest if lifting your legs straight
out is too challenging
