The Romanian Deadlift is one of the first exercises you should master when learning to Deadlift. It allows you to grease the "hinge" groove, and build strength in the range of motion that's comfortable to you. That said, there are a few cues to remember. - Ribs down and core braced - Tighten your lats (think about what you'd do to "protect your armpits" if someone were trying to tickle you) - Keep your knees soft - Keep your spine and head neutral - Keep your feet planted, but bias your weight t

Walkouts are great for developing core stability and strength, upper body strength, and hip mobility (if you push back into your hips and don't just bend at the waist). Plus, they're easy enough for beginners but can be made challenging by adding push-ups or other plank variations! Check out exactly how to perform a walkout here from GGS Owner Molly Galbraith. | Girls Gone Strong

Do you every do Pull Throughs? They are a fantastic posterior chain exercise that can be performed with a band or a cable (I am using a band), and they help you really FEEL your glutes when executed correctly. To execute: - Grab a band or a cable that's secured to a low post. Walk yourself away from the attachment point until you feel a good amount of resistance. - Position your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart, and turn your toes out slightly. - Hinge back into your hips like an RD
