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.

Squat Calf Raise

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

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.

No, it doesn't include bae with a cup of coffee and waffles in her hand. But, do these often and they will produce the same amount of happiness #BootyAF

4. PUSH THOSE HIPS BAAACK. Feel the stretch and pressure in the back of your legs. Yep, those are your hammies. Say good morning to them.

DETAILS

Narrow Stance Squats

GOAL
You got back problems? Hip problems? Knee problems? Well I got 99 problems and unilateral movements will solve 98 of them. Only you can fix the problem of not wearing all black. 

DETAILS
1. Start standing in your deadlift set up you religiously memorized. It's pretty much exactly like a deadlift, except one leg is flying in the air like a ballet dancer. 
2. With the weight in front of you, begin by reaching one leg back into the air as you hinge at your hip. 
3. #DJKhaled's major key is to not rotate the hips up, rather keep the hips level. Think there's a glass of water on your lower back, you best not spill it.
4. Keep the knee pushing out, even though I know you're biting your lip just trying not to fall over. 
5. Same principles as the deadlift, keep weight close, chin tucked, hinge at the hip with a flat back. 

CUES
- Flat Back
- Push Hips Back
- Keep Hips Facing Straight Forward
- Balance Bitch
- Weight Close to You

Single Leg RDL

Superset

GOAL
Athletic advantage, injury prevention and oblique shredder

DETAILS
1. Set up a resistance band above shoulder height. 
2. Grab the end with both arms extended. 
3. Start with shoulders, hips, and feet square/straight forward. 
4. Rotate the torso away from the anchor point, keeping the hips square. 
5. Then, chop that wood by rotating torso towards your hip and slightly towards the ground.
6. Squeeze abs & exhale. Return slowly to start position. Repeat. 

Pro-Tips: Ribs are tucked and you compress/crunch your abs a little. Back foot pivots as you chop. Hips can rotate or stay stationary, whichever gives you a better ab squeeze. 

CUES
- Squeeze Butt
- Rotate Torso
- Tuck Ribs
- Crunch Ribs to Hip Slightly
- Straight Arms Whole Time

Banded Wood Chop

GOAL
Build ab strength relative to your body weight 

1. Start in supine position.
2. Arms extend overhead.
3. Legs extend and press together.
4. Eliminate space below lumbar spine by contracting the abdominals. 
5. Rock in this position minimizing movement at the hip and shoulder.

CUES
- Point Toes
- Hollow Rock 
- Crunch Belly Button into Spine

Hollow Rock

GOAL
Build ab strength relative to your body weight 

1. Lie down flat on your back and contract the abs, pulling the belly button towards the floor. The arms and legs should be held straight out from the body with hands and toes pointed.
2. Slowly raise shoulders and legs from the ground. The arms and head should be raised along with the shoulders. The lower back must remain in contact with the floor.
3. The goal is to find the lowest position that you can hold the arms and legs, without them touching the floor and without breaking lower back contact (the point at which the lower back begins to arch from the ground).

CUES
- Point Toes
- Hollow Rock 
- Crunch Belly Button into Spine
