    One more question, with the prone jackknife, does he make that progessively harder as the program goes on? The 8 per set felt too easy. Thank goodness I had to pray to get through the 15 step ups or I would've added more.

    As far as I know the prone jackknife doesn't have a harder variation but it gets harder as the reps of it get higher after the rest of your workout does too. I would also make sure you are doing it correctly (I wasn't at first)

    After I did them, I wasn't sure either so I watched about 5 youtube videos and as awkward as I felt, I'm pretty sure I was doing it right.

    I was wondering if I could sub hack squats for regular squats? My gym doesn't really have a squat rack and I'm afraid when I start squatting pretty heavy, I won't be able to get the bar up and over my head safely.

    Hmmm. that's a tough one. You're right, you need some sort of rack, if you have clean everything you squat you will be very limited. Do you have smith machines?

    Yeah, that may be my best option.
