Dude this short workout had me dying! Great leg day

Some new stuff, might have made a fool of myself once or twice with those sliding squats but hey I’ll be pro soon 😂💀

Shania

This was killer. Hinge / bulgarian squat 🫠

Solid! Replaced single leg press with single leg reverse lunge for my home set 🔥

Fetch

Quick and dirty - feeling great and stable

Robi

GOAL
Loading the hips and legs while maintaining and more upright chest for less back strain and more glute focus
 1. Begin with a bar loaded on the ground. The feet should be set very wide, near the collars. Bend at the hips to grip the bar. The arms should be directly below the shoulders, inside the legs, and you can use a pronated grip, a mixed grip, or hook grip. Relax the shoulders, which in effect lengthens your arms.
2. Take a breath, and then lower your hips, looking forward with your head with your chest up. Drive through the floor, spreading your feet apart, with your weight on the back half of your feet. Extend through the hips and knees.
3. As the bar passes through the knees, lean back and drive the hips into the bar, pulling your shoulder blades together.
4. Return the weight to the ground by bending at the hips and controlling the weight on the way down

CUES
- Spread the Earth with Your Feet
- Squeeze Glutes
- Retract Spine
- Brace Abs

Sumo Deadlift (reset each rep)

GOAL
Absolute torture but that under butt gets cheeked up 

DETAILS
1. Use a bench or split squat device to station one leg on. 
2. Step squat width apart and not too long length wise. 
3. With dumbbells in each hand, descent into a split squat. 
4. Hip back. Drive up. 
5. Then hinge over into a staggered stance deadlift. 
6. Keep back flat, avoid rotation, push hips back, + squeeze butt to rise. 
7. Squat + hinge = one rep. 

CUES
- Hips Back
- Stable Feet
- Knee Out 
- I’m Sorry

Bulgarian Squat to Hinge

GOAL
Overload your legs with control 

DETAILS
1. Use either this machine or the leg press and do one leg at a time.
2. Position foot where at the bottom of the rep, your knee is 90 degrees. 
3. Begin by bracing your abs. 
4. Exhale and squeeze your quad, glutes and hamstrings to press. 
5. Don’t extend all the way aka don’t lock out the knee. 
6. Lower slowly and repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Brace Abs
- Lower Slow

Single Leg Press

Add a kettlebell to the RDL if you want extra challenge. Hold a bench for balance to focus on alignment.

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. 
7. Drive from mid-foot to stand. 
8. Repeat on one side, keeping tempo in check and pushing hips back. 
9. Reps are total. Ex, if it’s 10, do 5 on left descent and 5 on right descent. 

CUES
- Hips Back
- Core Engaged + Stable
- Pause
- Stay Low

Sliding Lateral Squat

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

Awesome pump! Could use with a little bit more detail on posture when it comes to cable crunches, not sure if I was doing it right!

Arm Demolition

I usually have a hard time connecting mind to body with chest exercises however I noticed it was way easier during this set. The extra tips for form help a ton!!!
