Glutes & Legs Workout

So this was what I ended up doing for today's lower body workout.

Mobility Warm up (at home)
Med band clams
Double ankle weights side hip abduction
Double ankle weights donkey kick
Band RDL

BB Sumo Deadlift (propped BB on a pair of aerobic step - no risers) / RKC plank
95lbs x 12 - warm up
3x120lbs x 10

Note: Next time I might prop the BB with a pair of 45lbs plate instead of aerobic step. The steps made the BB bounce off a bit whenever the BB touched down

BB Hip Thrust (5 risers) - rest pause method / band side walk 20 total
205lbs x 15 - rest pause method (last 5)
205lbs x 17 - rest pause last 8
205lbs x 20 - rest pause last 9 reps

Note: First time doing rest pause method. My goal was to get all 20 reps on all 3 sets but didn't happen but at least I got to 15 on first set. Totally butt burner!

DB PliƩ Squat / BB RDL
50lbs x 15 / 75lbs x 15
50lbs x 12- focus on form/depth / 80lbs x 12
50lbs x 12 / 80lbs x 15

Note: For DB PliƩ Squat, I focused on my form and depth instead of the weight for now.

Lying ham curl / weight plate side lunges
60lbs x 12 / 10lbs x 15@each
60lbs x 13 / 20lbs x 12@each
60lbs x 13 / 20lbs x 12@each

45° weighted Hyper Ext
2x25lbs x 15

And I'm loving my new Converse shoes! Definitely feel a lot better in deads and squats with these flat shoes :))
