5. Repeat for reps and then switch legs. 

CUES

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

DETAILS
1. Lay on your side with your knees bent. 
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.

Banded Clam Shell

Mini Band Booty Builder 2 🍑🔥

GOAL
Compound movement that hits it all

DETAILS
1. Place barbell on your back and create a shelf by squeezing your shoulder blades back and down.
2. Proud chest, with feet shoulder width.
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
- Proud Chest
- Brace Abs
- Knees Out

Barbell Squat

GOAL
Abductors, booty, and hamstrings but make it hard 

DETAILS
1. Starting with feet wider than shoulder width, toes slightly turned out, and shins on (or close to) the bar, press your knees out while dropping your hips down to find a strong starting position.
2. Position the hands where the rough meets the smooth on the barbell.
3. Lock in your back by stiffening your spine, brace abs, and have hips slightly higher while keeping back flat.
4. Stand by driving the knees out and squeezing your butt at the top.
5. Descend by pushing the hips back and keeping the bar close to you.

CUES
- Bar Close to Body
- Flat Back
- Brace Abs

Barbell Sumo Stiff Leg Deadlifts

GOAL
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. Grab dumbbells in each hand. 
3. Place your foot on the box, push knee slightly out, and keep it over ankle. 
4. Begin movement by centering your chest over your knee (balances your center of gravity). 
5. As you drive up through your heel, raise your chest and extend the knee. DON’T push off with your back leg. 
6. Stand tall and return slow and controlled by leaning the chest forward to counterbalance your weight. Chest over knee = ultimate hip loading = booty gains. 
7. 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

Dumbbell Step Up

GOAL
Puts more focus on hamstring and glute, loads your hip joint, and works your shitty coordination and balance #AlsoBooty

DETAILS
1. Stance is hip width apart and your back is turned towards a bench.
2. Reach your back leg on the bench. With the back toe face down, jump the front leg a good distance ahead of you, almost as far as you can reach.
3. Begin by pushing the hips back and down
4. Knee is slightly behind ankle.
5. Knee pushes out. It is not inside your ankle/hip.
6. Ascend up with a titled chest over the knee and the hip remains back. 

CUES
- Step Far Forward for Booty
- Hips Back
- Chest Over Knee
- Knee Out
- Step Closer for Quads
- Feet Shoulder Width Apart

Bulgarian Split Squat

Superset

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
Anti-cankle life - I got thick ankles so I need to do extra. 

DETAILS
1. Stand tall with appropriate weight.
2. Hang heels on edge of platform. 
3. Begin by fully stretching the heel down.
4. Pause. Squeeze calves up to raise on tippy toes. 
5. Slowly lower to full stretch. Repeat. 
6. Do pulse reps to hit failure. 

CUES
- Full Stretch
- Exhale on Up

Standing Calf Raise

GOAL
This is a weird one but your calves will thank me later

DETAILS
1. Get into a low squat - yes your mobility better be good. If it isn’t start doing a squat hold for 1-5 min every day.
2. Hold onto something so you aren’t gonna fall over.
3. Begin by pushing your heels as far down as possible.
4. Shift your weight forward towards your knees.
5. Extend your foot and flex your calves as hard as you can.
6. Slowly lower and repeat. 

CUES
