Description: HAMSTRINGS AND GLUTES

Posterior chain today! Leg day with a focus on the hamstrings and glutes. Continuing variations of the movements we’ve been doing and focusing on progressive overload

Do the following back to back! 

-15 ball roll ins 
-20 glute bridges with abduction 
-20 based abductions

**ALL ABOUT CONTROL HERE! Not speed. Engaging those muscles 

- Lying on your back with legs straight and heels on top of stability ball
- Raise your hips so your body is straight
- Roll the ball towards you by bending your knees
- Roll the ball back out by straightening your legs

Hamstring ball roll ins

**these should not be easy! If so I challenge you to focus on the mind to muscle. These should be an intense DEEP burn in the glutes 



Put heavier resistance mini band above your knees (not on them!) 

Lay on your back and press through feel to lift hips towards ceiling 

Push outwards on that band, squeezing those glutes and using the side of that booty

Banded glute bridge abductions

Booty gaintset

*increase weight each time! Test weight here push yourself 

-keeping tension out on band so knees don’t cave in 
- 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

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
- Drive your hips forward and use your hamstrings to power back to standing

Barbell RDL

10 CONTROLLED reps per leg each set 


- Stand in front of a bench under the smith machine 
-load appropriate weight on the bar (heavy enough for a challenge but not so heavy you can’t control the weight) 
- Step up to full extension pushing through that heel (don’t lock out knee!!!)
- Keep your chest up but it’s ok if you slightly hinge forward from hips if it helps you feel it in your hamstrings/glutes 
- Lower to ground and repeat desired amount of reps before moving to other side

Smith machine step up ham focus

12 sumo squats right into 15 weighted glute hyperextensions

*anywhere between 10-15 reps GO HEAVIER each set 

- Stand in a wide toed out stance 
- Hold a HEAVY dumbbell between your legs in front of you
- Lower into a squat, almost touching dumbbell to the ground
- Stand up by driving through your heels but don’t lock out your knees at the top

*movement is slow and smooth, not choppy! Keeping tension in the legs

DB sumo squat

NOTICE AWKWARD ARCH IN MY SPINE! We aren’t hyper extending the back here. Keep tension in Glutes 

- adjust pad so that it hits right above  hip bones
-toes slightly turned out and back slightly curved to put it in your glutes as opposed to lower back  
-Raise and lower your upper body engaging your glutes/ hamstrings
