Welcome to your new week of workouts! Get ready to strengthen and define your quads and shoulders today. Push the weight your lifting, move with control, and focus on lifting with great form!

Sit on the floor and bend one leg in front of your body with your hip rotated out. Position it so your lower leg and knee are resting on the ground. Your leg should form a 90-degree angle, and your ankle should be neutral so your foot is pointing straight.
Position your other leg beside you with your hip rotated inward and your shin and ankle on the ground. Bend your knee so your leg forms a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should be in line with your hip, and your ankle should be neutral.
Try to keep your back straight and resist the urge to bend to one side. Think about sitting into both hips equally and easing the lifted hip straight down toward the ground.

From here place both arms down to the ground in front of you and lower onto your elbows and then back up.

90/90 up downs (10 per side)

In a seated position, lean back on your hands, and bring both feet close to your body with your knees up. From here, you will lean both knees to one side and let them fall gently to the ground. Then you will pick them up and let them drop to the other side.

Leaning back 90-90 hip openers

Get into the frog pose. Begin in a table top position on your hands and knees make sure your hands are underneath your shoulders and knees are below the hips. Stay here and breathe in hell and slowly move your right, and left me out towards the side as you exhale, you should feel a powerful stretch in your thigh and groin area. Continue opening your hips as you turn your feet out towards the side and flexor ankle so that your inner feet in her ankles and Internet are touching the floor if your ankles and cushioning place a blanket underneath them. So we lower to your forearms with the palms, either flat on the floor or press together from here hold the pose and lift one foot up and off the ground and lower back down and then do it on the other side keep alternating.

Frog pose leg lifts

In a half kneeling position, lift one leg up and over a kettlebell. Hold onto a stable surface with one arm to help stabilize the body. 

Use your hips and core to lift your leg up and over.

Half kneeling single-leg lift over kettlebell (20 per leg)

Setup: Get into a quadruped position with the knees under the hips and the hands under the shoulders with the spine in a neutral position. For the first position, place one hand on the upper back or back of the neck. Do not pull down or put pressure into neck with hand.

Action: Begin to rotate leading with the eyes, head and shoulder as far as possible down toward the hand. Then reverse the motion leading with the eyes, head and shoulder rotating upwards as far as possible. Maintain position of opposite arm with elbow extended while moving in both directions and keep the lumbar, thoracic and cervical aligned during rotation. For second position, change the hand position and place it on the low back with the palm facing up. Repeat the exercise with the hand in this position.

Return: Bring the hand back to the start position under the shoulder returning to the full quadruped position after the exercise.

Quadruped T-Spine Thoracic Rotations (15 reps each arm)

- Begin by standing tall, bend at the waist and place hands on the floor
- Walk your hands out until your body is flat
- Perform a push up
- Walk your hands back towards your feet reversing the movement back to starting position
- Repeating the entire sequence for time or reps

Inchworm

- Start by standing with your feet together - In one motion, jump your feet out to the side and raise your arms above your head - Immediately reverse the motion by jumping back to the starting position - Increase speed as you feel comfortable

Jumping jacks

Bear plank hold shoulder taps

- Stand with feet shoulder width apart
- Lower in to the bottom of a squat pushing your hips back and down
- Stand up out of squat to full hip extension keeping your chest up
- Your knees should be inline with your toes

Air squats

Quads + Shoulders Dynamic Warm-up

Quad Extension Machine

A narrow stance squat or close stance squat is a back squat performed with feet at around shoulder-width apart or even narrower. The feet should generally point forward in line with knees. Narrow stance squats target primarily the quadriceps, glutes, and adductors. 

First, you want to set up the barbell on a squat/power rack so that the barbell is about armpit or just under armpit level

The grip on the barbell will vary from individuals based on one’s own level of mobility and limb lengths. As a rule of thumb, you want the grip to be as narrow as possible but as comfortable as possible to maximize tightness with the barbell on the upper back.

Start off with feet hip-width apart under the bar as you bring yourself under the bar to put your back to the bar.

You can either have a low bar or high bar position on your back. Check out my article on where you should put the barbell on your back while squatting. 

When you walk out take one foot directly back, then hold momentarily then take the other foot directly back. Ideally, after the two steps, you want to finish the squat walkout with your feet exactly in the position you want to squat in.

You want to keep the bar and center of gravity over midfoot. Keep your legs straight and posture neutral before you take a deep breath in through your nose and brace.

You should break at the hips and knees and squat as low as you can ideally to hip crease below parallel. You may squat lower than breaking parallel if you are still able to maintain a stacked torso where you keep that neutral spine.

Once you reach the desired depth, stand straight back up until your hips and knees are fully locked out simultaneously. Exhale upon completion of the repetition. 

Then repeat the process for the next repetitions.

Narrow Stance Back Squat (barbell)

- With the barbell overhead and arms extended
- Lower weight down to your chest and press back up overhead

Barbell military press (1st set is warmup)

- Hold a single handle from a low pulley attachment
- Raise your slightly bent arm laterally to shoulder or head height

Cable Lateral Raises (12 each)

Dumbbell split squat Arnold press (8 each)

Perform a rocket push-up. Push your hips back and bend at the knees. Go into a high plank position and then into a low plank. Go back up into a high plank and repeat.

Up-down plank to Rocket push-up

Superset

Go for a high plank to a low squat to a squat jump. Repeat.

Burpee thruster squat jump

Reach back toward your opposite toe and bend in half. Keep alternating sides.
