3. Chest is up and step to the side.

3. Start by reaching the hips back and pushing the knees out.
4. Lower slowly and until the hips break parallel. 
5. Stand by driving the knees into the floor and squeezing your glutes.

CUES

Barbell Squat

GOAL
Pump those legs with a compound move

DETAILS
1. Feet under hips
2. Show that chest off with your chest up and ribs tucked
3. Knees slightly out. 
4. Squat with weight in heels. Feels like a mix between a deadlift and squat
5. Lower until weights touch the ground if you have big enough plates. If not, go mid shin. 

Pro tip: Don't stand up fully at the top so you keep constant tension on your quad.

CUES
- Up, Down

- Weight on Heels
- Flat Back

Trap Bar Deadlift

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 and a band just above your knees. 
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. Push your knees out hard the whole time, avoiding the tendency for the band to pull your knees together. 
6. Slowly lower by pushing the hips down and knees out. Repeat. 

CUES
- Initiate from Glutes
- Tuck Pelvis
- Knees Push Out

Banded Barbell Glute Bridge

GOAL
No this isn’t a Bubba Gump entree, rather a great exercise to rehab and prehab your glutes & knees

DETAILS

2. Push knees in front of you.
3. Place a band above your knees. 
4. Stack your top hip over the bottom hip. 
5. Keep that position and squeeze from your Glute to open up the knee. 
6. Keep the hip stack and in line the whole time. 

Reps are per side.
