- Do not arch your back
- Take one leg and drive it up, maintaining the 90 degree angle and the foot should end with the sole facing the ceiling
- Lower slowly
- To increase the intensity you can hold the extended position longer and do the exercises slower

Banded Quadruped Kickback

-Place a band just above your knees
-With your hands resting on a surface just in front of you, standing on one leg, pull the non-standing leg away from the body, initiating the movement from the side glute (bum).

Standing Banded Hip Abduction

- Start seated with a band around both knees
- Then slowly extend your knees away from you until it hits a 45 degree angle
- Then return them to the starting position

Banded Hip Abductions

-With a tight core stand with a band around the knees, feet in line with the hips
- hinge at the hips, maintain a tight core
- move the knees out and in, working against the pressure of the band. 
-instigate the movement from the glutes and you should feel a good burn in the booty!

Standing Hip-Hinged Hip Abduction

Bret Contreras Banded Booty Burnout Circuit!

3 sets
12 reps
controlled tempo - keep these strict! 
60s rest

- Hold the bar with hands just wider than shoulder-width apart, wrists stacked over your elbows
- Keep your core braced and eyes looking straight ahead
- Press the bar directly overhead in alignment with the mid-foot 
- Lower the bar back down to the starting position with control

Barbell Overhead Press

A "superset" is an exercise sequence where you do the prescribed exercises one after another. 

In this superset, you will do:

A - Half-Kneeling Landmine Shoulder Press
12 reps on each side = 24 total
controlled tempo
No rest, go directly onto B

B - Partial Dumbbell Lateral Raises - Bottom 
20 reps
controlled tempo, no jerking of the body
60s rest, then got back to A

Repeat this superset 3 times.

1. Set up a landmine attachment in a secure manner, either anchored or using a landmine base.
2. Kneel down on one knee with the knee closest to the landmine and keep your other foot planted firmly on the ground.
3. Position yourself in a way that your front foot is aligned with the landmine bar.
4. Hold the landmine barbell or attachment in one hand with an overhand grip, keeping it close to your shoulder.
5. Brace your core to maintain stability and prevent arching your lower back.
6. Press the landmine upward by extending your arm fully while keeping your core engaged.
7. Lower the weight back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
8. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other.

Half-Kneeling Landmine Shoulder Press

Dumbbell Partial Lateral Raise begins in a tall standing position, with feet set about hip-width apart, arms extended by your sides, hands holding onto dumbbells, palms facing in towards the body. 

To initiate the movement, bring a slight bend into the elbows, and laterally draw the dumbbells up and out wide, stopping before reaching about a 45-degree angle in the arms to the ground from the shoulder, then lower back down to the starting position.
