Coaching & session plan

HW12-050 · Posterior Chain Home

01 Prepare · 00:00–02:00

  • Easy march or seated march · 60 sBegin slowly and check your space.
  • Comfortable movement rehearsal · 60 sUse easy versions of the first two stations; extend preparation when needed.

Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.

02 Main work · 02:00–11:00

Follow exercises 1–6 in order, twice. Each 45 s station holds up to 30 s work and at least 15 s recovery or transition.

Effort: 5–7/10; finish with 2–4 good repetitions in reserve. These are 12 station exposures, not 12 maximal strength sets.

03 Scale & progress

Use the easier option named on the exercise card, shorten the lever or range, and stop the work early. Pause the clock when additional recovery or setup time is needed.

Repeat this selection until the target can be completed with stable technique on two occasions. Then change one variable only: range, repetitions within the time cap, or modest resistance. Never progress just to fill the timer.

04 Recover · 11:00–12:00

  • Easy walk / march and settle · 60 sEase the pace; do not stop abruptly if still breathing hard.

Exercise cues, sides & easier options

1
Unloaded good morning · 5–8 controlled reps

Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: Wall-target hip hinge

2
Heel-dig bridge · 5–8 controlled reps

Move through the hips with the ribs quiet. Stop the range before the lower back takes over; lower slowly. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: Glute bridge

3
Standing W shoulder-blade control · 5–8 controlled reps

Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed. Unloaded drills train control, not a loaded row. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.

4
Alternating lateral lunge · 2–3 reps / side

Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. Match both sides; the displayed dose is per side. Use about 3 s per repetition and up to 5 s to change sides; the cap includes both sides.

Easier: Chair sit-to-stand

5
Backpack suitcase hold · 15–20 s hold

Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Secure the bag contents and check every handle and seam; no swinging. Breathe continuously and release before straining.

Easier: Wall forearm plank

6
Light backpack two-hand curl · 5–8 controlled reps

Keep the elbow and wrist comfortable. Use only modest resistance and control both directions without straining. Secure the bag contents and check every handle and seam; no swinging. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.

Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.

Before you start

Equipment: Floor / mat; Backpack

Inspect supports and clear the floor. Chairs, steps and benches must not tip or slide. No improvised doorframe anchors, glass weights or unverified hanging supports.

Choose a controllable range and modest effort. Stop for sharp pain, dizziness, chest discomfort or unusual breathlessness.

Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
