GOAL
Pre-exhaust those legs before heavy squats and/or build the ‘tear drop’ look without too many tears of pain #JkItHurts

DETAILS
1. Begin in a seated position on the leg extension machine. Knees are just off the edge of the seat.
2. Weight pad is resting above ankles.
3. Use the quadriceps to extend your legs fully as you exhale. 
4. Inhale on the negative and go down slowly if you a real savage. 
5. Pulse reps can be added. 

CUES
- Squeeze from Quads
- Slow Negative
- Hold Hips Down

Leg Extensions (10 heavy + 10 light)

GOAL
Stronger hammies = hotter legs, less knee pain/injuries, being mistaken for two hot dogs for legs #HotNot

DETAILS
1. Try to scoot up towards the edge of the seat like you're on that flying chair ride at the fair. It might give you more leverage to squeeze your hamstrings. 
2. Lean your chest forward if you feel it get you a better squeeze. 
3. Tune into your Jedi Mind Muscle Connection and really "squeeze" your hammies. 
4. Try pointing the toes down to feel pure concentration on the back of your legs. 
5. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the release. 

CUES
- Concentrate
- Breathe

Seated Leg Curl

Pre-Exhaust

GOAL
Absolute torture but that under butt gets cheeked up 

DETAILS
1. Use a bench or split squat device to station one leg on. 
2. Step squat width apart and not too long length wise. 
3. With dumbbells in each hand, descent into a split squat. 
4. Hip back. Drive up. 
5. Then hinge over into a staggered stance deadlift. 
6. Keep back flat, avoid rotation, push hips back, + squeeze butt to rise. 
7. Squat + hinge = one rep. 

CUES
- Hips Back
- Stable Feet
- Knee Out 
- I’m Sorry

Bulgarian Squat to Hinge

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
Hammer those hamstrings + test your joint alignment with maximal coordination needed 

DETAILS
1. Set a Landmine bar up.
2. Place a 4 inch box underneath to shorten range. 
3. Grab the end. 
4. Hinge at hip with knee slightly bent. 
5. Lower slightly leaning into the weight. 
6. Stand and squeeze. 
7. Reps are per leg. 

Pro-Tip: do single leg rdl with a barbell if you don’t have a Landmine. 

CUES
- Hips Back
- Flat Back

Landmine Single Leg RDL

GOAL
Hammer the lower back, hamstrings, glutes + abs with a hip loading exercise 

DETAILS
1. Stand tall and begin deadlift by sitting back. 
2. Maintain a flat back. 
3. Squeeze armpit to activate your lats. 
4. Lower until weight taps the ground. 
5. Stand and squeeze your glutes at the top. 

CUES
- Avoid Shrugging 
- Squeeze Armpit
- Reach Hips Back

Kettlebell Stiff Leg Deadlift

Stability Light Work

GOAL
We’re thickening the density of your abdominal wall for a proper 6-pack. My favorite exercise for abs, ever. 

DETAILS
1. Use a close grip attachment and pick a challenging weight. 
2. Get on your hands and knees and walk back about 6 feet from the machine. 
3. Squeeze your elbows around your head. 
4. Hover over the space ahead of you. 
5. Begin by crunching the belly button into the spine. 
6. Find your balance and isolate the ab crunch. 
7. Avoid pushing the hips back towards your feet as you crunch. 

CUES 
- Hollow Rock
- Hover

Cable Crunch

GOAL
One of my favorite lower ab exercises - use that mind muscle connection to tuck your pelvis and contract the lower abs

1. Lie down on the floor with your legs fully extended and arms to the side of your torso with the palms on the floor. Your arms should be stationary for the entire exercise.
2. Move your legs up so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor and feet are together and parallel to the floor. This is the starting position.
3. While inhaling, move your legs towards the torso as you roll your pelvis backwards and you raise your hips off the floor. 
4. Hold the contraction for a second and move your legs back to the starting position while exhaling.

CUES
- Crunch Abs into Belly Button 
- Knees Up to Ceiling

Reverse Crunch

Core strength

Great workout unfortunately I couldn't do the spider curls because the benches of my gym are really high and it's uncomfortable. So I just did regular curls.
