Cats & Dogs

Warm Up! 🔥

- Press through your heels, squeeze your hamstrings/glutes hard at the top!
- Stagger your feet slightly and distance them slightly outside of shoulder width.
- Heels in and toes pointed out. 
- As you lower, allow your knees to travel out in the direction of your toes.
- NOTICE the bar stays on a diagonal between my legs. Do NOT try to keep the bar straight or you are going to have a world of troubles.

Jefferson Squats

- Position your feet out wide and near the ends of the pads. 
- Keep your hips pressed down and chest arched out.

- Position your feet narrow and close together. 
- Keep your hips pressed down and chest arched out.

Lying Leg Curls (Narrow Stance)

Leg Curl Compound! 🔥

- Drive your hips back behind you as you lower your torso overtop of the weight. 
- Keep the pressure on the heels of your feet to engage the hamstrings.

- Drive through your heels. 
- Hinge at your hips.
- Use your hamstrings and glutes to drive your hips up.

- Brace your core as you slowly lower the weight down into a stretch. 
- Make sure you don’t go too deep and that your butt doesn’t “roll up” in the bottom of the movement. 
- Drive your knees out and use your hamstrings/glutes to press the weight back up.
- Do not lock out your knees at the top.
