4x30 single leg hip thrust complex
4x10 bulgarian split squat jumps
4x10 goblet squat to lunge
3x12 calf raise

This week we will be doing a COMPLEX. Start by doing 10 reps on one leg, place the floating leg on the ground and so 10 regular hip thrust then 10 more reps on the other leg. 

SET UP:
You’ll need a single dumbbell and either a bench or box that is about the height of your knee for this exercise. 

FORM TIPS:
First, start by placing the bottom of your shoulder blades on the bench or box. Place feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart, feet slightly turned out and at the top of the movement your legs should be at a 90 degree angle. Place the dumbbell on the side of the working leg slightly below your hips, ideally resting on the very top of your quad muscles not on your actual hip bones. 

Lift the non working leg off the floor and slowly lower until your butt is just a few inches off the floor then squeeze your glutes to press back up to the starting position. 

Keep it slow and controlled and focus on the mind to muscle connection, think to yourself “the only way this bar is getting up is by squeezing my BOOTY”

WEIGHT:
Increase the weight by 5-10 lbs each set. If you struggle to get to that last rep or two and you have more sets after, stay at that weight then. If you are a few (2+) reps shy of the last rep, decrease the weight for the next set.

Dumbbell Single Leg Hip Thrust Complex

SET UP:
Find either a flat bench or a box thats about the height of your knees.

FORM TIPS:
To set up for this movement, I usually start by placing one foot on the bench / box then lowering my knee down to the ground. If your knee cannot touch the ground then the bench / box is too high for you. Once your knee is on the ground, make sure that the opposite leg (the one that is now kneeling) is at a 90 degree angle.

Slowly lower until your knee is a few inches off the floor then drive through the front foot to do a single leg jump. But DO NOT push yourself back up with the back leg at all, only use the front let, driving through the heel of your foot to get you up!!

Bulgarian Split Squat Jump

SET UP:
You’ll only need a single dumbbell for this exercise. 

FORM TIPS:
To pick up the dumbbell, place both palms on either side of the SIDE OF THE DUMBBELL. Then press up through your feet to the starting position. 

Like with any squat you do not want your knees caving in so make sure the are always inline with you toes as you move through the squat. 

After doing one squat, do a front lunge on both legs and that equals 1 REP. 

WEIGHT:
Increase the weight by 5-10 lbs each set. If you struggle to get to that last rep or two and you have more sets after, stay at that weight then. If you are a few (2+) reps shy of the last rep, decrease the weight for the next set.

Goblet Squat to Lunge

SET UP:
Grab a plate or use any surface where when you place the ball of your foot on the edge and lower your heel down a few inches your heel doesn’t touch the ground. And grab a single dumbbell. 

FORM TIPS:
For this movement youre essentially going to lower down until your ankle can’t bend anymore, feeling the stretch in your calf. Then pressing through the ball of your foot until your on your tippy toes. 

WEIGHT:
Increase the weight by 5-10 lbs each set. If you struggle to get to that last rep or two and you have more sets after, stay at that weight then. If you are a few (2+) reps shy of the last rep, decrease the weight.
