Hamstrings, Glutes, Calves | 09.02.16

If you can remember a few posts back, I mentioned starting a new training split for the next several months. I started that split today, focusing only on hamstrings, glutes, and calves. I am expecting that this new split will yield better development in those areas as the months go by into the 2017 competition season. Check out today's training session below.
