The "EDF" Finisher (10 Minutes)

Mountain Climbers: 30 seconds (High intensity)
Full Workout Description & Intent
This isn't a "circuit" where you rush. For the Strength Block, choose a weight where the last 2 reps feel incredibly difficult to finish with perfect form (that RIR 1-2). Rest 60–90 seconds between sets to allow your ATP stores to recover so you can push heavy again.
Goblet Squats: Keep your elbows inside your knees and your chest proud.
RDLs: Think about "shaving your legs" with the weights—keep them close to your body and drive your hips back until you feel a deep stretch in the hamstrings.
