Backpack deadlift from a raised start
Use a fixed, load-stable raised starting surface. Keep the secured bag close and stand by extending the hips; set it down quietly.



Prioritise hip extension and posterior-chain control while preserving enough low-load work to manage fatigue.
Alternate each pair (A1/A2 … F1/F2) for 3 rounds · one exercise starts every minute · up to 40 s work, rest for the unused time
Use a fixed, load-stable raised starting surface. Keep the secured bag close and stand by extending the hips; set it down quietly.
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly.
Use a clear, compatible sliding surface. Keep the hips controlled as the heels move; shorten the slide before the pelvis drops.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Soften the knees and send the hips back. Keep any load close; stop before the trunk position becomes difficult to control.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed.
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support.
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed.
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down.

Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
Six consecutive pairs, A1/A2 through F1/F2. Repeat each pair three times. Each minute holds up to 40 s work and at least 20 s recovery or transition.
Effort: 5–7/10; finish with 2–4 good repetitions in reserve. These are 36 station exposures, not 36 maximal strength sets.
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.
Use a fixed, load-stable raised starting surface. Keep the secured bag close and stand by extending the hips; set it down quietly. 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: Wall-target hip hinge
Stack the ribs over the pelvis and use a comfortable hand position. Lower under control; choose a lever you can repeat cleanly. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Wall push-up
Use a clear, compatible sliding surface. Keep the hips controlled as the heels move; shorten the slide before the pelvis drops. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Glute bridge
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.
Keep the whole foot supported. Bend within a controllable range, then stand without bouncing or collapsing inward. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Chair sit-to-stand
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Use about 3 s per repetition unless a slower tempo is written. Stop when the target is reached.
Easier: Dead-bug heel tap
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
Breathe throughout and keep the pelvis quiet. Shorten the lever or range before the back arches or the shoulders lose support. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Move the shoulder blades smoothly without lifting the ribs. Keep the neck relaxed. Unloaded drills train control, not a loaded row. Breathe continuously and release before straining.
Easier: Standing W shoulder-blade control
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
Rise and lower slowly through the forefoot without rolling the ankle. Use secure fingertip support when needed. 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.
Use a pace and route that keep steps controlled. Do not chase speed or breathlessness; leave space to slow down. Not a speed test. Recover for the remainder of the station.
Easier: reduce range, resistance or work time.
Equipment: Backpack; Mat / floor; Sliders or towels on suitable floor; Wall; Floor or mat; Towel; Chair
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.
