A7 Bulgarian Lunge


GOOD MORNING:


GOOD MORNING

  1. Place the bar on your back in a low bar position
  2. Squeeze the upper back muscles tight creating a platform for the bar to sit on
  3. Like a hip hinge – bend forward keeping your knees slightly bent
  4. Keep your head down, looking down on the way down
  5. Bend down as deep as you can, aiming to get your chest as close to parallel to the ground as possible while still maintaining tightness in your body and a neutral spine.
  6. Keeping the bar firmly on your back, stand back up again and repeat movement

LOW BAR BACK SQUAT:


LOW BAR BACK SQUAT

  1. Holding the barbell with your hands, place the barbell on the muscles of your upper back (trapezius) and squeeze the shoulder blades together to engage the muscles of your upper back so the bar is secure.
  2. Stand with your feet slightly wider than your shoulders and toes pointing slightly outwards, the feet must remain flat on the floor throughout the entire movement.
  3. Keep your chest up and look straight ahead.
  4. Squat as deep as your body will allow while still maintaining a neutral spine and perfect posture.
  5. Stand back up and repeat the movement again.

Tip: If it is difficult to maintain correct posture and squat to full depth (below parallel), elevate your heels with a 1 inch block of some sort or some small weights plates.


ROMANIAN DEADLIFT:

  1. Grab the barbell with your hands positioned on the outside of your legs and pull the bar as close to your shins as possible, we like to touch ours (beware of some little bruises). This ensures that the weight is close to the centre of gravity, which makes the weight easier to lift, as well as significantly reducing the risk of injury to the lower back.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, ensuing your feet are firmly on the floor and the weight is distributed evenly across the whole foot throughout the entire movement.
  3. Pick up the bar, while keeping the bar as close to your body as possible, we like to basically drag the bar up and down the front of our legs throughout the entire movement.
  4. Hold your body tight and imagine putting your shoulder blades back and down into your back pockets. Holding this tight position push the world away until you are standing in an upright position. Focus on keeping your chest up and maintain a neutral spine and perfect posture throughout the whole movement.
  5. Still maintaining tightness, lower the weight back down by bending forward at the hips, move the bar back down the front of your legs as deep as you can whilst maintaining a flat back. The hips must be below the shoulders at all times. This ensures that you are using the muscles of the lower body and not just the muscles of the lower back.
  6. Pull the bar back up and repeat the movement again.

WALKING LUNGES

GLUTE BRIDGE

GOBLET SQUAT

BULGARIAN LUNGE

  1. Stand with dumbbells grasped at your side, facing away from bench. You can also use a barbell across your shoulders.
  2. Lunge down slowly, trying to keep your knees in line with your toes, and your thighs are parallel to the floor.
  3. Straighten your front leg and repeat.
  4. Switch legs when you have completed your reps.
