[4 plates X 18 ; same weight X 10-12]

NOTES
"Two 20lb plates or two 10lb plates? I did two 10lbers."

Barbell stiff leg deadlifts - put your toes on a 45 lb plate, heals on the ground (this will stretch your calves and hamstrings). Be sure to keep your shoulder blades pinched together on
--- TOES on plates
135lbs X 10
145 X 10
155 X 9-10 X 2 sets
-- It looks like you can go an inch or three lower on these. (not changing weight because of that)

Ham killers

bw X 4-8 X 4 sets

-- your range of motion is too short. I want you going down further. This is where a bar really helps. If you don't have one, see if a lat pull-down bar works.

Lower back extensions on a roman chair or something like that
bw X 12-15 X 3 sets
-- you should be able to handle these
NOTES
Held 50lbs to chest.
