Sets/Reps: 4x6

Heffner’s Help: Maintain air in belly during lift for a “natural weight belt” // Weight distribution should be 60 percent on heels, 40 percent on balls of feet // Keep knees wide so hips will fit through during squat // If unable to squat below parallel, cut back on weight, as full range of motion is more important // Keep chest up, eyes focused ahead

Front-Foot-Elevated DB Reverse Lunges
