1. Knee kicks Use lower cable (medium weight) /attach D ring Get on all fours and slip foot into D ring Drive Knee into chest without changing angle of back relative to floor or center line. 2. Power Cleans (ensure to jump up a bit at the top of the movement) 3. Boot sqwats (might not have the equipment at your gym) - Basically you have to get an aparatus that anchors your feet to the floor as you lean back and perform a sqwat. Similar to a front sqwat, but deeper into the flexor as you have to lean back more. Carry a plate in front of you.
