π₯ Warm up β Days 1 & 4 (lower body focus)
π₯ Warm up β Day 3 (upper body focus)
- Passthroughs (using a band or broomstick, 2x10 reps)
- Blackburns (8 second hold in each direction, 2 sets)
- Cheerleaders (5 straight-arm pull apart in each direction, 3x10 on the bent-arm exercise)
Feel free to mix and match warm-up movements from either list based on what your body needs that day β this isn't rigid, just a good starting template.
π
Day 1 β Lower strength EMOM β 3 rounds
- Smith machine squats β 10 reps
- Romanian deadlifts (free weights) β 10 reps
- Walking lunges β 8 per leg
- Farmer's carry β 20-30 seconds

Day 2 β Mobility + light cardio
π
Day 3 β Upper strength EMOM β 3 rounds
- Dumbbell bench press β 10 reps
- Smith machine inverted rows β 10 reps
- Smith machine overhead press β 10 reps
- Renegade rows or plank β 30-45 seconds
π
Day 4 β Full body / conditioning
- Treadmill intervals β 30 sec fast pace / 90 sec walk, repeat 8-10 rounds
- Goblet squats β 3 sets of 10-12
- Push-ups β 3 sets of 10-15
π A few notes:
- Each strength day should take about 25-35 minutes including warm-up
- Mobility isn't optional here β it's what lets the strength work actually hold up long-term
- Adjust load on smith machine and free weights based on how the reps feel β last 2-3 reps of each set should be challenging but controlled
