Mobilize, then:
Transition Week: You guys are coming off a great cycle and hopefully many of you saw lots of improvements in not just your lifting but also your conditioning! We want you to take some time this week to reduce loading and intensity so you can be primed and ready for our next cycle starting on October 11. For more information on transition weeks and why we program them in, check out this article.

For the split squats, allow the knee to drive forward of the toes, such that your hamstring is resting atop your calf…but keep your full foot on the ground. We’re working on mobility as well as quad strength. For the romanian deadlifts, you’ll set-up just like a Bulgarian Split Squat, but keep only a slight bend in the knee and reach down to perform a romanian deadlift.
