- Barbell Back Squat
- Leg Press
- Smith Machine Reverse Lunge
- Hip Thrust
- Dumbbell Sumo Squat
- Rounded Back Extension

- Begin with the barbell across the upper back
- Your hands should grip the bar just outside your shoulders in a comfortable position
- Keeping your chest up, eyes forward and core tight, bend at your hips and knees to lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground
- Straighten your hips and knees to drive up to the starting position

Barbell Back Squat

- Using a leg press machine, sit down on the machine and place your legs on the platform directly in front of you at a medium shoulder width foot stance
- Lower the safety bars holding the weighted platform in place and press the platform all the way up until your legs are extended in front of you (Tip: Make sure that you do not fully lock your knees during this exercise)
- Your torso and the legs should make a 90-degree angle
- Inhale, slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle
- Pushing mainly with the heels of your feet and using the quadriceps, extend your legs, pressing the platform back to the starting position as you exhale
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and ensure to lock the safety pins properly once you are done

Leg Press - Low Narrow Stance

- Start with the bar on your upper back, standing position with your feet roughly hip width apart, your chest held high, and your back straight
- Step back with one foot and lunge down until your knee touches the ground
- In this position, your front knee should be directly over your ankle
- Extend both legs, driving upwards in a controlled fashion to the standing position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Smith Machine Reverse Lunge

- Sit on the ground with a bench behind you, bending your knees so your feet are planted on the ground and holding a barbell resting below your hips
- Lean back so your shoulders are on the bench and position the bar above your hips
- Drive your hips up lifting the bar
-  In the top position your knees should be bent at 90° and your shoulders should be near the top of the bench, with your body forming a straight line between them
- Pause at the top of the lift and squeeze your glutes
- Lower your hips slowly

Barbell Hip Thrust

- Stand in a wide toed out stance 
- Hold a heavy dumbbell between your legs in front of you
- Lower into a squat, touch dumbbell to the ground
- Stand up to full extension

Dumbbell Sumo Squat

- Start in the prone position with your arms crossed forward off the shoulders
- You want to internally rotate your shoulders and deliberately round your upper back, to make sure the majority of the tension is in your glutes on the contraction
- As you descend, you’ll feel most of the tension in your hamstrings, but some will be in your glutes
- Go to a range of motion that gives you a good stretch in your hamstrings but if you don’t feel a massive stretch here, that’s okay because this range of motion will vary depending on your individual mobility and flexibility
- Pause for a second at the top and bottom, and initiate the movement by contracting your glutes as hard as possible, back to the starting position
- Try to imagine initiating the movement by squeezing your butt cheeks together
- Remember to keep your upper back rounded so you don’t begin to rely solely on your lower back for the movement
