During the push up back row, bring the elbow up high past your back.
During the sumo squat, point your toes slightly outward to target hamstrings.
During prone hamstring curl, do your best to elevate and keep your quads off the ground as your complete all repetitions of each curl.
During the pike press, place weight above your shoulders and keep legs straight as possible.
If you are still at a level where you cannot complete 1 pull up, you can complete supported pull ups as an alternative by utilizing a pull up band or having someone properly support you.
