PERFORMANCE
Warm-Up.
Elephant March x 20 (slow and controlled)
*Set up your barbell with weights. This will be your hand hold. Hinge at the hip and place your feet behind the bar far enough that your back is flat with your knees bent. You should look like a table. Extend one knee at a time WITHOUT raising your hips! As you are going through the 20 reps, focus on gripping the ground with your feet and feeling the internal rotation of the hip as you extend that side. Make sure to squeeze your quad at the top.
