GOAL
Lower back health which is key to life, lifting, good sex, and getting old #ExtensionsForLifeExtension

DETAILS
1. Hinge at the hip and give everyone that million dollar view they don't deserve. 
2. Hang all the way down and initiate the movement by squeezing your glutes.
3. Squeeze your butt and hamstring and raise to be in line with your legs.
4. Hold for a second at the top and slowly lower all the way down. Repeat. 

Pro-Tip: If you walk into the gym and your back hurts, hang off the end of this and wiggle that spine #SideToSide. Hang at the bottom and warm up by just extending a few inches up then coming back down to a relaxed position. Do a set of 30 and feel those lower lumbar say "hayyyy gurrrrl." 

CUES
- Squeeze Yo Ass
- Hinge At the Hip
- Tuck Your Ribs

Back Extensions

GOAL
Static hold to develop the isometric core strength 

DETAILS
1. With the back extension hip pad just below the hips, face up. 
2. Squeeze butt, tuck pelvis. 
3. Reach overhead for added challenge. 
4. Try to focus on maintaining a perfect line in the back. 
5. Hold for max effort. 

CUES 
- Sternum Up
- Squeeze Butt
- Tuck Pelvis

Flip on Back Extension

Back Extender

GOAL
Loading the hips and legs while maintaining and more upright chest for less back strain and more glute focus
 1. Begin with a bar loaded on the ground. The feet should be set very wide, near the collars. Bend at the hips to grip the bar. The arms should be directly below the shoulders, inside the legs, and you can use a pronated grip, a mixed grip, or hook grip. Relax the shoulders, which in effect lengthens your arms.
2. Take a breath, and then lower your hips, looking forward with your head with your chest up. Drive through the floor, spreading your feet apart, with your weight on the back half of your feet. Extend through the hips and knees.
3. As the bar passes through the knees, lean back and drive the hips into the bar, pulling your shoulder blades together.
4. Return the weight to the ground by bending at the hips and controlling the weight on the way down

CUES
- Spread the Earth with Your Feet
- Squeeze Glutes
- Retract Spine
- Brace Abs

Sumo 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.
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
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 [Dropset last 2 sets]

GOAL
Lower ab shredder - lift with the abs, not the hips 

DETAILS

2. Keeping your arms straight by your sides, or under your hips, slowly lower your legs to the floor until your lower back begins to arch. 
3. Mind muscle connect to your abs and crunch your abs to return to the starting position.

CUES
- Hollow Rock 
- Crunch Abs into Spine

I’d love some shorter workouts on the fighter feed. I find they always take me longer than the estimated time and finding it hard to fit the whole workout in amongst full time work, looking after dogs etc.
