Description: QUAD FOCUSED GYM

This exercise is best performed inside a squat rack for safety purposes. To begin, first set the bar on a rack that best matches your height. Once the correct height is chosen and the bar is loaded, bring your arms up under the bar while keeping the elbows high and the upper arm slightly above parallel to the floor. Rest the bar on top of the deltoids and cross your arms while grasping the bar for total control.
Lift the bar off the rack by first pushing with your legs and at the same time straightening your torso.
Step away from the rack and position your legs using a shoulder width medium stance with the toes slightly pointed out. Keep your head up at all times as looking down will get you off balance and also maintain a straight back. This will be your starting position. (Note: For the purposes of this discussion we will use the medium stance described above which targets overall development; however you can choose any of the three stances described in the foot positioning section).

Front Squat

- Stand holding a kettlebell or dumbbell close to your chest. Put your heels on a plate to elevate yourself.        
- Flex at the knees and push your hips back as you come down - Keep your chest up throughout the movement
- Pause at parallel and extend your legs to come back up

Goblet Squat

Assume a shoulder-width stance under the Smith bar and then place the bar on your upper back, just above your rear delts.
Garb the bar with a wider than shoulder-width grip and then squeeze your traps together. This creates a "shelf" for the bar to rest on.
Step back with your strongest leg and keep your other foot planted firmly on the ground*.
Squat down until the knee of your back leg touches the ground.
Press through the floor with your front leg to push yourself back up. The rep is complete when both feet are fully planted on the ground (note, that you don't have to actually line your feet up after each rep—it's fine to have a slightly staggered stance)

Elevated Reverse Lunge

Stand on your right foot and move your left foot back and to the side. Place the left foot in line with your right heel, with the ball of your foot planted.
Turn your foot slightly out to the side and shift most of your weight over your foot that is totally on the ground (you should have 90% of your weight on the right leg and 10% on the left)
Push your right hip back towards the wall behind you while keeping your back straight (this is an RDL)
Stop when you can no longer sit your hips back and feel a stretch in your hamstrings
Reverse the movement by pulling the floor back towards you and squeezing your hamstrings and glutes.

B-Stance RDL

- Stand up straight while holding a dumbbell on each hand (palms facing the side of your legs).
- Place the right foot on the elevated platform. Step on the platform by extending the hip and the knee of your right leg. Use the heel mainly to lift the rest of your body up and place the foot of the left leg on the platform as well. Breathe out as you execute the force required to come up.
- Step down with the left leg by flexing the hip and knee of the right leg as you inhale. Return to the original standing position by placing the right foot next to the left foot on the initial position.
- Repeat with the right leg for the recommended amount of repetitions and then perform with the left leg.

Dumbbell Step Ups

Start with a hip-width or wider stance. Toes pointing slightly out. Keep your core tight and start to 'sit' your hips back, initiating the movement at the hips. Keep your chest up tall and lower until roughly 90 degrees. Push through your heels as you drive the weight up until you reach the midway point of the movement. Then return to the bottom of the movement. Drive the weight through the heels all the way to the top, squeezing the glutes.
