Step away from the anchor until there is some tension in the band when your arm is out to your side and your elbow is bent 90-degrees. Press into the block. In a lunge position with back leg supported on a bench or box and with weight loaded (barbell on back, goblet in front, or one dumbbell in each hand), sink into lunge position, and squeeze your glutes and quadriceps on your front leg to stand back up. Tuck the ribs and the hips, ensuring you do not hyperextend the spine. Keep the opposite leg straight and out to the side.

Once youve completed one round of each exercises, you can then rest (or move onto the next exercise). Increase tension by standing on more of the band, and decrease tension by allowing for more slack on the band between your feet and hands. Stand a few feet away from the anchor, facing sideways, orienting yourself 90-degrees from the resistance. You should have a straight line from knees to hips to shoulders. Can also be substituted for an Ab Wheel, or by performing the bodyweight only variation Ab Fallouts. Can be scaled harder by switching your point of contact from your knees to the balls of your feet. Goblet Squat with Adduction; Side Lying Single Leg Adduction; Cossack Squats; Glute bridge variations (banded, single leg, etc. Try to keep your arms in front of your body while you press, to better target your front (anterior) deltoids.

On the leg press machine, load weight appropriately (roughly half what you would use for a regular Leg Press, or more conservatively if needed). Start your rep by pulling the handle back towards the lower abdomen. Repeat for the prescribed repetitions. Better to overemphasize the hip hinge and turn this into more of a Stiff Leg or Romanian Deadlift (both with little if any change in knee angle throughout the range of motion) than to turn this into a banded squat. If your sets feel strong, we encourage you to increase weight before your next set, and reevaluate (and potentially increase) again. Lift your hips off the ground, and maintain a neutral spine by tucking the ribs and squeezing the glutes and abdominals.

Step one foot back and across your other leg, while bending the front knee and hip. Unlike any type of oblique twist (where you actively are rotating your torso), our goal with these is anti-rotation, similar to a Paloff Press. The range of motion is only a few inches, and our goal is active control through the shoulder blades and engagement of the lats. The elevated surfacewill increase the effective range of motion of your repetitions. Standing on a long band, grab a loose end in each hand. On a cable machine, choose a single handle attachment at a high position on the pulley. Aim to maintain a neutral spine and maintain that straight line from your shoulders through your head. Start in a quadruped position, with a band anchored to a low position in front of you. Aim to maintain a neutral posture (keeping your elbow by your sides, and hips & shoulders square facing towards the anchor), with the only movement coming from flexing your bicep. Keep your body in a straight line, making sure not to raise or sink the hips. Place a short band around both feet. Prioritize movement quality and control on this exercise, rather than weight/resistance. Once youve completed one round of each exercises, you can then rest (or move onto the next exercise). Like Ascending sets, AMRAPs are a form of autoregulation (something that allows us to adjust training based on individual performance variations day-to-day and week-to-week). Place the bar on your traps. Lower the weight with control again behind your head to return the weight to the start position. From there, extend and try to reach your spine up to the ceiling as your shoulder blades separate. Perform for the prescribed repetitions, then repeat on the other side.
