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 sit on the box. Keep abs braced and get rid of the momentum. 
5. Stand and squeeze butt. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Brace Abs
- Knees Out

Box Squat

GOAL
Lower back, ab and hamstring dominator 

1. Grasp a bar on the floor using an overhand grip. Stand with your torso straight and a shoulder-width stance. The knees should be slightly bent. This is your starting position.
2. Keeping the knees stationary, lower the barbell to over the top of your feet by bending at the waist while keeping your back arched.
3. Continue to the bottom of your hip flexibility without ever compensating through your lumbar in an effort to extend the range of motion. Pause at the bottom and return to the starting position.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Reach Hips Back
- Brace Abs

Stiff Leg Deadlift

GOAL
Leg pump with wide steps (not longer but wide like a squat)

DETAILS
1. Stand tall shoulders back. 
2. Step one leg forward kinda out width wise. 
3. Lower down slowly keeping chest up and sending hip back slightly. 
4. Lower to where back knees almost touches.

6. Push off front leg to stand with feet together. 
7. Repeat. Reps are total. 

CUES
- Tall Chest 
- Step Wide
- Slow + Controlled

Walking Lunges

GOAL
Pre-exhaust those legs before heavy squats and/or build the ‘tear drop’ look without too many tears of pain #JkItHurts

DETAILS
1. Begin in a seated position on the leg extension machine. Knees are just off the edge of the seat.
2. Weight pad is resting above ankles.
3. Use the quadriceps to extend your legs fully as you exhale. 
4. Inhale on the negative and go down slowly if you a real savage. 
5. Pulse reps can be added. 

CUES
- Squeeze from Quads
- Slow Negative
- Hold Hips Down

Leg Extensions (last set drop set 10+6)

GOAL
Sculpt those hamstrings without lower back pressure, aka isolation exercise #HamTings

DETAILS
1. Tuck your pelvis into the hip pad. 
2. Point your toes like a ballerina. The weight will just feel heavier, you're welcome. If you flex your toes, you tryna lift with your calves...don't do that. 
3. Get in a full length leg stretch then curl the weight by squeezeing from your hamstrings with a controlled negative.
4. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the negative

CUES
- Slow Negative
- Stay Focused 
- Relax the Toes
- Tempo is Life

MODIFICATIONS
One legged - say bye-bye-bye to those imbalances. Add in quarter reps, pulses, and holds for the ultimate life-altering experience.

Lying Leg Curls (last set drop set 10+6)

Quads and Hammies

GOAL
Stack that bottom, work on positioning and get steel cut glutes and hamstrings

DETAILS
1. Like you’re doing a regular back extension, but squeeze at the top and bend the knees.
2. Get a stacked position where the shoulders are back, ribs are tucked and butt is squeezed. 
3. Maintain this position for as long as possible as you hinge down into a back extension.
4. Repeat and squeeze from your hamstrings and glutes to rise. 

CUES - Ribs Tucked
- Squeeze Glutes

Bent Knee Back Extensions (30s hold on last rep)

GOAL
Strengthen the lower abs for supreme injury prevention, lifting strength and pelvic control #PelvicStrong

DETAILS
1. On a dip bar, extend arms and actively press away from it.
2. Create as much space between the ears and shoulders as possible. 
3. Stack your body in a perfectly straight line, abs crunched, butt squeezed, and toes pointed.
4. Begin the rep by lifting the toes up to hip level. 
5. Actively crunch your abs while keeping your hips under your shoulders, don't let the hips tuck back behind your body. 
6. On the descent, control the negative and pray to the ab Gods to power you through at least 10 reps. 

CUES

Those cleans can be rough for us big yiddie peeps, but such a good work out. Might be crawling out after those burpees not gonna lie 🤣

Emily

W1/D4 Full Body Burner 🥵

Great workout, I am using a home gym so I do look up a lot of alternatives for resistance bands and depending on how I feel it is compared to the actual machine needed I add reps or sets as needed.

Arden

Boyyyyyy I bout damn near died at those sissy squats. You did your big one with this Morgan 😘🤌🏾

Tori

Workouts are great but depend on the gym you attend having a huge amount of kit and equipment. I couldn’t do half of this session unfortunately due to lack of equipment, and the gym I go to is pretty decent. Would be great to have alternative options for each exercise using different equipment. Thanks
