GOAL
A good squat comes from flexible ankles/hips, a strong ass, and a developed core #FoundationalShit

DETAILS

1. Feet under your hips, toes slightly turned out according to your ankle flexibility, and reach your hands forward for balance. 
2. Begin by simultaneously reaching your hips back and bending the knees.
3. As you descend, spread the Earth with your feet aka push those knees out. 
4. When the hips go just below the knees, you can stand up. If you look like a rounded goblin, you gotta stretch mo.
5. Ascend and squeeze that ass at the top of a rep for ultimate booty building.
6. Exhale on the way up

CUES

-Chest up
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
-Knees Push Out
-Weight in Heels

Air Squat

GOAL
Get power and speed, honey. 

DETAILS
1. Lunge position. 
2. Explode up and land softly. 
3. Work on control.
4. Switch sides. 

CUES
- Soft Landing
- Swing Arms

Jumping Lunges

GOAL
Side booty means a healthy lower back, knees and well a bigger side booty 

DETAILS
1. Start on all fours - knees and hands on the floor - with your core engaged and back flat.
2. Raise one knee out to the side (like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant).
3. Only go as far as you can without rotating at the hips or spine.

CUES
- Squeeze from Hip
- Don’t Hike the Hip 
- Control & Slow

Fire Hydrants

Leg Warm Up 🔥

GOAL
Bulletproof back, abs and glutes 

DETAILS
1. Approach the bar so that it is centered over your feet. Your feet should be about hip-width apart. Bend at the hip to grip the bar at shoulder-width allowing your shoulder blades to protract. Typically, you would use an alternating grip.
2. With your feet and your grip set, take a big breath and then lower your hips and flex the knees until your shins contact the bar. Look forward with your head. Keep your chest up and your back arched, and begin driving through the heels to move the weight upward.
3. After the bar passes the knees aggressively pull the bar back, pulling your shoulder blades together as you drive your hips forward into the bar.
4.  Lower the bar by bending at the hips and guiding it to the floor.

CUES
- Paint Thighs with Bar
- Squeeze Armpits 
- Flat Back

Conventional 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
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

Side booty baby 

DETAILS

2. Begin by pinning your shoulder blades into the pad, getting a proud chest, and setting your feet.
3. Un-rack the weight and lower slowly.
4. Keep the knees driving out slightly. Don't look like Bambi just coming out of the womb.
5. At the bottom, only go low enough where your lower back is still against the back pad.
6. Drive from heels to extend legs and don't lock out the knees fully at the top. We ain't tryna blow a knee.

DETAILS
