COACH'S NOTES

Today we are focused on the quads, glutes hamstrings and calfs. These are the mucle groups that will help us build our squat.

Goblet Cyclist Squats

-Begin with heel elevated on a plate and a weight at the chest goblet style.

-Slowly descend in the squat keeping the feet about hip width apart.

-Stand and try to avoid reaching full lockout.

-This will help ensure to keep tension on the quads for the entire ROM.

Dumbbell RDL

-With a set of dumbbells in each hand, retract the shoulder blades down and back.

-Begin with a slight bend in the knees.

-While maintaining a flat back position, hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells to feel a stretch in the hamstrings.

-Lower to just below the knee and squeeze the glutes at the top when you stand.

Calf Raises

-Use an elevated surface like a plate and place the balls of the feet on it.

-Your heel should start on the floor.

-Slowly press through the balls of your feet until your completely extended at the ankle.

-Hold this top position for 1-2seconds before returning your heels back down to the floor.
