Lateral DB Goblet Lunges
3 x 8/8, build
GOALS + GUIDANCE: Hold a dumbbell at chest height and take controlled steps to the side, keeping your chest tall and knee tracking over your toes. Do 8 reps on one side before moving to the opposite side. Choose a weight that challenges your legs and glutes by the last few reps but still allows for good depth and control.

DB Squats
Toes to Bar
MCx: 50/35
MAx: 35/20, knee or pike up
MVx: 25/15, v-up or leg lift
GOALs + GUIDANCE: Your goal is to be smooth and consistent across all 5 rounds. Each 4-minute window is a sprint-style effort, move fast then recover. Choose a DB weight that allows you to complete the squats unbroken (yes, 2 dumbbells). Aim to go unbroken on the toes to bar early and break into quick sets later in the workout. Keep rounds close to 2:30–3:00.
