Warm-up: This workout will tax your legs immediately, and by the end of the lunges you will be fatigued with step-ups still to come. Get your legs warmed up with some biking, (5 min. moderate pace), which will also get your shoulders ready for holding the DB overhead. The key is warm, not tired. Practice a couple lunges, emphasizing a good lockout and long lunge steps. Don’t waist any lunges during the workout. Always start close to the line and finish beyond the line. Practice some step-ups with the DB and figure out the best way to hold it. Try several positions. Do just a few HSPU’s using the standard that applies to you. Just getting to the HSPU will be a challenge in it’s self.
