Prep
A
Lower Body Warm Up 1
For this movement prep, perform 3 to 5 rounds of the following warm-up exercises. Simultaneously, assess how you feel by incorporating your main barbell movement (e.g., squat, deadlift, bench press) as part of the process. Adjust the intensity and volume as needed, depending on how the barbell is moving for you today. Key Guidelines: •Duration: 30 to 45 seconds of each movement, focusing on slow, controlled reps. •Intent: Don’t rush through the exercises. Use this time to fine-tune your technique and assess your body’s readiness for the session. •Self-Assessment: If you feel the need for additional volume or adjustments, listen to your body and add more as necessary. Reminder: This is your chance to dial in your movement patterns and get ready for the main lifts. Focus on control and quality over speed.

Verified Athlete"The Dream Team coaching is entirely responsible for the continuation of my career. Not only am I a busy executive with limited training time, but after 41 years of competing I have more scars than Frankenstein. Kyle is the only coach I have ever encountered whose knowledge base is that big!"
Bodybuilder to powerlifter
Verified Athlete"Kyle is the perfect coach for me. He has a deep understanding of the science behind powerlifting. He also has a very good handle on the psychological aspects of the sport. Couple that with his very in-depth grasp on physical therapy and rehabilitation, and you have the perfect coach."
