Single Leg Curl

Glute burner 🔥

You want to load your hip, not execute with momentum - maximal control on this one

DETAILS
1. Set a box to the proper height. When you step your foot on the box, your hips are just below your knee. Setting it too high creates hip shifting and pushing off with the back leg. Don't do that. 
2. Place your foot on the box, push knee slightly out, and keep it over ankle. 
3. Begin movement by centering your chest over your knee (balances your center of gravity). 
4. As you drive up through your heel, raise your chest and extend the knee. DO NOT push off with your back leg. 
5. Stand tall and return slow and controlled by leaning the chest forward to counterbalance your weight. Chest over knee = ultimate hip loading = booty gains. 
6. On the return, drag your back foot against the box for stability. 

CUES

- Hip Loading
- Drive Through the Heels
- Knee Over Ankle 
- Knee Pushes Out
- Relax the Back Leg
