Lateral Band Walk

Mini Booty Builder 🍑

GOAL
Ultimate glute builder without loading the spine 

DETAILS
1. Begin seated on the ground with a bench directly behind you. Have a loaded barbell over your legs. Having a pad on the bar can greatly reduce the discomfort caused by this exercise.
2. Roll the bar so that it is directly above your hips, and lean back against the bench so that your shoulder blades are near the top of it.
3. Begin the movement by squeezing your butt. 
4. Push through your heels and tuck your pelvis. Focus more on glute activation and tucking the pelvis rather than how high you can push the bar. 
5. Slowly lower by pushing the hips down and repeat. 

CUES
- Initiate from Glutes
- Tuck Pelvis

Barbell Glute Bridge

GOAL
Switch the angle at which you stress your hammies

DETAILS
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and place toes on top of a plate with the heels on the ground.
2. Holding two dumbbells by your sides, bend at the hips, keeping your knees soft and feet planted on the floor.
3. With arms straight, reach toward the space between your feet as far as you feel comfortable without rounding through your lower back or losing the feeling of having your feet planted into the floor.
4. To stand, press the floor away.

Note: elevation should be about 2 inches 

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Reach Hips Back
- Brace Abs

Toe Elevated Dumbbell Stiff Leg Deadlift

GOAL
Sculpt those hamstrings without lower back pressure, aka isolation exercise #HamTings

3. Get in a full length leg stretch then curl the weight by squeezeing from your hamstrings with a controlled negative.
4. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the negative

Superset

GOAL
Uneven glutes can cause a plethora of problems including back or knee pain. Straighten those glutes unilaterally for the healthiest thing since celery juice

1. Lying on a bench or your back, bend at the knees, and plant your feet into the floor.
2. Pigeon the non-working leg on your other one.
3. Press through with the working leg by squeezing your glutes to raise the hips to neutral.
4. Focus on squeezing your butt hard, not just how high you can get your lower back.

Single Leg Glute Bridge

GOAL
You got back problems? Hip problems? Knee problems? Well I got 99 problems and unilateral movements will solve 98 of them. Only you can fix the problem of not wearing all black. 

DETAILS
1. Start standing in your deadlift set up you religiously memorized. It's pretty much exactly like a deadlift, except one leg is flying in the air like a ballet dancer. 
2. With the weight in front of you, begin by reaching one leg back into the air as you hinge at your hip. 
3. #DJKhaled's major key is to not rotate the hips up, rather keep the hips level. Think there's a glass of water on your lower back, you best not spill it.
4. Keep the knee pushing out, even though I know you're biting your lip just trying not to fall over. 
5. Same principles as the deadlift, keep weight close, chin tucked, hinge at the hip with a flat back. 

CUES
- Flat Back
- Push Hips Back
- Keep Hips Facing Straight Forward
- Balance Bitch
- Weight Close to You
