Day 3 of our 4 day split. You’re crushing it! Today is GLUTE AND HAMSTRING FOCUS, Whoop whoop! 

Let’s get it! Booty’s don’t build themselves.

For Best Results: Finish w/ 10-12 minutes of an incline walk, bike ride, or run.

A superset is two exercises back to back with minimal rest.

In this one, we’re focusing on glutes: do these two bridges back to back , focusing on complete reps at a weight level where you have to “push” on the last 3-4 reps.

For this exercise, start by grabbing the barbell and resting it on your thighs. Press up into a bridge, ensuring your knees are inline with your heels.
From here, slowly lower down into a half bridge, and bring up. This is the “KAS” =half range of motion. Do 1/2 of the reps in KAS, then the other half with a full range of motion (all the way down and then bring up).

If you want more, HOLD the bridge as long as you can on your last rep. 🔥🔥🔥

Barbell Bridge: KAS into Full

Sumo Squat: 

Start with grabbing one dumbbell & rest it on the ground in front of you. 

Get into a wide stance: feet should be pointing out to the side, and core engaged. Tuck your hips in so your back will be inline with them. Pull your shoulders down and back. 

Next, squat down to pick up your weight, and rep it out, ensuring your knees stay inline with your toes.
