Barbell RDL

This superset is programmed out of love — I promise!🫶🏼

Repeat these two back to back and then rest! 1 set of hip thrusts straight into kas glute bridge which is the top range of the hip thrust, like a pulse almost!👏🏼 cheeks on FIYAAA!!🥵

-Start by sitting on the ground with the upper back against a bench, feet flat on the floor, and a barbell positioned across the hips.
-Roll the barbell towards the hip crease for proper alignment and weight distribution.
-Drive feet into the ground, engage glutes and core for stability.
-Press hips upward, squeezing glutes until the body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders.
-Pause briefly at the top, squeezing glutes tightly.
-Lower hips back down in a controlled manner, maintaining tension in glutes and core.
-Avoid excessive arching of the lower back.
-Keep knees stable and in line with feet.
-Start with lighter weights and gradually increase load.
-Breathe naturally throughout the exercise.

TARGETS: lower back, glutes, hamstrings 

-Start by lying face down on a hyperextension bench, positioning your hips just at the edge and securing your feet pointing them slightly outwards.

-Engage your core muscles and squeeze your glutes.
-Lift your upper body off the bench, extending your back and raising it as high as comfortable.

-Place the ankle cuff around one ankle, securing it tightly.
-Stand tall with a slight forward lean, engaging your core muscles for stability.
-Keep your standing leg slightly bent and shift your weight onto that leg.
-Initiate the movement by kicking your cuffed leg back and upward, extending the hip joint.
-Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
-Keep your back straight and avoid excessive arching or rounding.
