Here is our second PULL day that places emphasis more on the LOWER body. I encourage you to focus on form first but if you are experienced, challenge yourself on the weights chosen - particularly for your LOWER body movements.

‼️ If you require a thorough warm up (I always do and rec it), check out the warm up section in the app!

Here’s a little mobility flow:
- Begin in a downward dog
- Step one foot to the outside of the same hand
- square the shoulders and hips and feel a stretch in the front of the hip of your back extended leg
-Now with the arm that is next to the front leg, press into the ground. Feel even weight through the hand abs fingers.
-Twist torso and reach the opposite arm up towards the sky, with an aim to stack the shoulders
-Ensure the twist is from the thoracic spine. Only go to your workable ROM
-Place hand back down on floor. Square shoulders and hips
-Step back into a high plank 
-Push back into downward dog
-Repeat on other side

Downward Dog - Deep Lunge - Rotation

- Lay on the floor with your legs bent
- Push through your heels bringing your hips up 
- Squeezing your glutes 
- Lower back to starting position

Glute bridge

What is it??
- The hip airplane is a great exercise for balance, strength, coordination, glute activation, and joint mobility all at the same time. 
-It encourages a strong, stable spine while also moving through full internal and external rotation of the hip joint
- It’s a tricky one so hold on lightly to a surface to perform with good control

How??
- Assume a single leg stance.Lock your ribcage down by bracing your core.
- Hinge your body forward over your stance to a point you can hold without losing balance. Hold onto object if needed.
- Begin with hips level
- Rotate your torso in towards your stance leg (hip internal rotation) followed by rotating it away (hip external rotation). A cue that helps some is to think about moving your belly button towards your stance leg and then out away to the side.
- Spend about 2-3seconds with each direction. The leg you are standing on is the “working” leg and hip. Watch that knee doesn’t search too much and keep even pressure in foot. Feel that glute.

Hip airplane

Warming Up

This is to fire up your central nervous system. It gears you up execute your main lifts coming up.

The aim here is to move fast (with good quality). Reps are low here so that you are able to complete all 3 rounds back to back (NO REST) with high intensity.

- Hinge at the hips 
- Explode forward with your hips
- Engage your glutes as your hips come forward 
- Raise the dumbbells to about shoulder height

Dumbbell swings (double)

-Stand with feet shoulder width and knees slightly bent.
-Bend your knees and descend to a full squat position.
-Engage through the quads, glutes, and hamstrings and propel the body up and off the floor, extending through the legs. With the legs fully extended, the feet will be a few inches (or more) off the floor.
-Descend and control your landing by going through your foot (toes, ball, arches, heel) and descend into the squat again for another explosive jump.
-Upon landing immediately repeat the next jump.

Squat Jump

CNS Firing

- Begin with dumbbells in each hand and feet hip width
-soften the knees
- Press hips back and lower dumbbells down until mid shins
-keep back flat and lats engaged 
-feel a stretch in the hamstrings 
- squeeze flutes and lift back up to standing

DB Romanian Deadlift

-Lay on back, knees bent and feet on floor
-Place sliders under your heels. If you do not have these, you can use dish cloths or socks on a hardwood floor
-Bring hips up into a glute bridge. Engage core - this Is highly important to keep on throughout the whole movement to keep hips neutral and stable
-SLOWLY extend legs, controlling it all the way down. Count 3-5 seconds until you reach the end range that you can no longer support with your hips up and level
-To return, bring hips to the ground, slide feet back to start position to come back into a glute bridge

Eccentric Hamstring Curls - Slider/Towel/Socks

Compound set - lower

- With wide leg stance and a flat back hold a dumbbell in each hand

-Make sure shoulders don’t creep up towards your ears

(Can use a cable with rope attachment if available)

Face Pulls

Compound set - upper

-Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand. 
-Place one foot a foot-length in front of the other, toe on the floor, so your stance is staggered. 
-You'll be working your front leg. 
-Hinge at your hips to lower your body. Push your butt far back and keep your back flat.
-hinge back up at your hip

B-Stance RDL

- Place one foot on the bench and move forward a few inches so the front knee is bent to 90 degrees
-TIP: if struggling to find the right distance from bench, start from a kneeling position with back foot on bench. Position front knee above your ankle. 
- Push hips back and lower down until your back knee almost touches the floor
- Push through your heel and stand up

DB Bulgarian split squats

-Come down on your side, with forearm beneath you and knees bent to about a 90-degree angle -Press up into a side plank, pushing your hips forward so they're in the same plane as your torso, and press your top hip toward the ceiling
