Description: Full Glutes Workout

- 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

- 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 glutes and hamstrings to power back to standing

Barbell RDL

- Start in the prone position, holding a weight for added resistance
- 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

Glute Bias Hyperextensions

- Adjust the machine lever to fit your height and lie face down on the leg curl machine with the pad of the lever on the back of your legs (just a few inches under the calves)
- Keeping the torso flat on the bench, ensure your legs are fully stretched and grab the side handles of the machine
- Position your toes straight
- Curl your legs up, bringing your heels toward your glutes, as far as possible without lifting the upper legs from the pad
- Pause at the fully contracted position
- Lower the legs back to the starting position

Lying Hamstring Curls

- Begin with dumbbells in each hand
- Step forward with one foot and lower down until knees are 90 degrees, rise half way, lower back to 90
- Push through front heel and stand back up 
- Work both sides
