FAQ
Can I add extra glute work?
Usually you do not need much extra. If recovery is good, add only a small finisher.
Is this okay with one upper-body day?
Yes. Many athletes pair this with one to two upper-body sessions.
What if my knees get irritated?
Reduce depth or load temporarily and keep tempo controlled until symptoms settle.
