Description: W4/D4 Glute attack 🔥💣

Today we are going to make those glutes work really really hard. 
The main 2 exercises are the Hip thrusts and the Stiff leg deadlifts. 
Start with learning how to perform the exercise perfectly and then slowly increase the weight. 
Glute activation is not easy to get , so you have to focus our attention to the muscle group you are working on. This is crucial.keep the focus on the bodypart what you are training.

- Support upper back on a bench and the barbell across your hips
- With both knees bent to 90 degrees 
- Lower your glutes to the floor and press back up to starting
Increase the weight on each side by 5-10 kg in each set to push your limits.
Make sure you feel your glutes and you are able to squeeze. 
If you are not feeling it in your glutes then you need to lower the weight.

Barbell hip thrusts

- Slowly lower the bar with a slight bend in your knees, hinging at the hips and keeping your back straight
- Lower weight until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings , just a bit below your knees but not lower than the middle of our shin
- Keep your core tight and Drive your hips forward and use your hamstrings to power back to standing position
- pay attention to your lower back! You shouldn’t feel pain in that area. If you do lower the weight and focus on the feeling in the hamstrings and glutes instead of going super heavy.
- if you can’t feel it in the back of your tights , stand up on a slight elevation (0.5 kg weight plate ) under your toes. This will emphasise the feeling in the right places.
