Add in mobility, sauna, steam room or walking treadmill to finish today.

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
Core killer + hip loading for booty 

DETAILS
1. Get in sumo stance with legs, toes straight forward or slightly turned out. 
2. Begin on one side and grab a dumbbell on the other side. 
3. Start the descent by pushing your hips back, knee out. 
4. Chest can come over the knee for balance. 
5. Pause at bottom of squat. 
6. Slide over and drive from the bottom of the other squat position.

Strengthen your leg drive with minimal spinal fading 

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.

Calf Raise on Leg Press

Breathe Thru It

Slow and controlled here. You should be shaking just with body weight from the squeeze and tilting the pelvis towards your belly button. 

Do glute bridges on the ground and squeeze from butt.

GOAL

DETAILS

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."
