Try this: Power Clean wt x 3 x 4 2 min TBS Box squats wt x 2 x 10 45 sec TBS Hang Snatch or Push Jerk wt x 3 x 3 1.5 min TBS Glute-ham or RDL (which ever you like best) 5 x 3 (GH) or wt x 10 x 3 (RDL) 1 min TBS Reverse Hypers wt x 10 x 3 1 min TBS Roman Sit-ups wt x 20 x 3 30-45 sec TBS

It's basically a hyperextention with a leg curl at the end.

And for anyone on this forum wondering what any of the lifts mentioned are, www.ExRx.net They show all the basic lifts somewhere on that site, and seperate it by body part or style. -------------- \"I get up in the morning around six to run for about an hour.
