I love the inclusion of back exercises during leg day lately! Takes the mind off my burning quads/hamstrings!!

Mads

GOAL
Increase coordination, flush lymph, strengthen your fast twitch muscle fibers, and increase speed #SoAthletic

DETAILS
1. Feet together.
2. Grab rope with wrists slightly in front of hips.
3. Thumbs face away from the body, shoulders are relaxed, and chin is neutral.
4. Hop low and quickly on your toes will whipping the rope with your wrists. 
5. Let the rope rotate around your body and jump as the wrists slap down.

Pro-Tip: The more relaxed you are, the longer you can keep your natural rhythm.
Pro-Tip II: Drop the rope. Jump low and fast and slap your hands on the front of your thighs. Double tap them to practice double unders. This simulates the timing and coronation needed to jump rope. After warming up with this, carry the same rhythm but just add the rope. 

CUES
- Hips In Place
- Posture is Upright AF
-Ribs Tucked

Jump Rope

GOAL
Power + speed 

DETAILS
1. Stand a few inches in front of the box
2. Slightly bend knees and push out slightly. 
3. Swing arms behind you. 
4. Throw arms up to propel the jump. 
5. Extend hips and knees to accelerate out the bottom. 
6. Land softly on box. 
7. Aim to throw all your momentum up and forward, not down on the box. 
8. Step down, alternating sides. 

CUES
- Throw Arms Up
- Soft Landing
- Exhale

Box jumps

GOAL
Wanna look like Wonder Woman with a wide back down to a small, tapered waist? Pull down more. 

DETAILS
1. Get your sternum facing up towards the ceiling #GirlsGoneToTheGym
2. Grip the bar wide, whatever that means for your arm length. 
3. BEGIN the rep with shoulder blade retraction. 
4. Externally rotate aka show your arm pits.
5. Exhale and pull bar to just below your chest. 
6. When pulling, your elbows should be slightly behind the bar/your spine. 
7. Release and control the negative. Repeat. 
Pro- Tip: As you pull down squeeze those armpits. Also don't let elbows go in front of the bar. 

Why do elbows have so much to do with this shit? Because proper elbow mechanics = proper scapula mechanics. Also, breathe. Exhale on pull, inhale at top. 

CUES
- Pull with the Elbows
- Show the Armpits
- Squeeze the Pits
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Proud Chest

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown

CNS Warm Up

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 
Upper back demolition without any lower back stress

DETAILS
1. Set bench to 45 degree incline. 
2. Waddle over it with two DBs.
3. Slightly retract your shoulder blades. Begin the rep by squeezing back with your shoulder blades.
4. Squeeze the elbows back towards your belly button and pull your chest up to nearly upright.
5. Stop once your elbow is bent at 90 degrees and at your ribs, then slowly lower the dumbbell back.
6. Try to squeeze your shoulder blades at the top of each row.

CUES - Proud Chest
- Elbows to Belly Button 
- Initiate with Shoulder Blades

Seal Rows

AMRAP Baby

GOAL
Absolute torture but that under butt gets cheeked up 

DETAILS

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.

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

Lying Leg Lifts

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

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.
