I have such a love/hate relationship with those Bulgarian split squat hinges. 😅💀🔥

A lot of sitting on the floor which was different lol but I suppose mobility is good for me too!

Hoyt

Didn’t do the exercises in order d/t busy gym, but lower back and legs burning!

Was cursing them Bulgarians today, for the split squats 🤦‍♀️ 🦵

Felix

Elmaz

Loved today! Deadlifts bring me so much joy so I was thrilled to have those today. I think there was an error in row time. Instead of 1000m it said 1000sec. Maybe not though. I wound up doing a 15 incline walk to wrap up the workout after the row.

August

Definitely slowed down and focused on form for deadlifts and felt good

GOAL

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. 
5. Drop the weight and burn out with bodyweight. 

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."

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.

This really helped me ❤️ Thank you for being vulnerable and relatable. Definitely appreciate the wise words and perspective.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this with us. It really shows how much passion you have & how much you care about us. I’ve resonated A LOT with the struggles & solutions you’ve shared over time since I’ve joined your app when it launched. All of the things you share about spirituality & alignment is so real and it’s so nice to know I’m not alone in that. A lot of people around me it’s kinda like in one ear & out the other. Makes me feel seen that you share similar valuess. So glad you’d been regaining your health back’
