@VELOCITY DC ANGELIQUE “SINGLE-LEG LEG PRESS VS. BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT… WHICH ONE ARE YOU PICKING? 👀🔥” Both will have your legs shakinggg, but let’s break it down real quick👇🏼 💥 Single-Leg Leg Press ✔️ More stability = better isolation on one leg ✔️ Less balance needed = you can lift heavier & control reps better ✔️ Constant tension on the muscle = hellooo growth 👏🏼 🔥 Bulgarian Split Squat ✔️ Tests your stability & coordination (aka it’s humbling 🫠) ✔️ Engages core & stabilizers more ✔️ Harder to progressively overload because… balance struggles are REAL 😅 If you find Bulgarians hard because of balance (not actual strength), single-leg leg press is your new bestie!! It lets you really focus on the muscle, push heavier, and take stability out of the equation. Tbh, both deserve a spot in your leg day, but if you wanna isolate & lift heavier → leg press wins! 🏆🔥 What’s your fave?

Glute Hyperextensions = 🍑 Growth If you’re sleeping on hyperextensions, you’re missing out on one of the best glute-building movements! But here’s the key—how you perform them makes all the difference. Holding the weight farther away (instead of close to your chest) increases the load on your glutes by shifting the resistance. More glute activation = better results. Here’s how to optimize your hyperextensions for maximum glute engagement (and NOT your lower back): 🔥 Tuck your chin & round your upper back – This keeps the tension on your glutes and stops your lower back from taking over. 🔥 Hinge at your hips – Think about pushing your hips back rather than just bending forward. 🔥 Hold the weight away from your body – Extending your arms with a plate or barbell shifts the resistance to your glutes. 🔥 Squeeze at the top – Fully extend your hips and squeeze your glutes for 1-2 seconds before lowering. 🔥 Control the movement – Slow and controlled reps will get you further than swinging up and down. Trust me, once you get these right, your glutes will be on fire. Who’s adding these to their next leg day? 🔥🍑 #GluteHyperextensions #GluteGrowth #LegDay #backextension #glutes #glutesworkout #glutesgrowth #glutestips

Cable Crunches: The Ultimate Core Builder! 💥🔥 If you’re not adding cable crunches to your ab routine, you’re missing out! This movement keeps constant tension on your core, helping to build strength and definition. Plus, the controlled motion minimizes momentum, making it super effective for targeting the rectus abdominis (hello, six-pack muscles! 😉). But let’s get it right! Follow these steps to maximize gains while protecting your lower back: ✅ How to Perform Cable Crunches: 1️⃣ Attach a rope handle to a high pulley on a cable machine. 2️⃣ Kneel on the floor and grab the rope with both hands, positioning it near your head. 3️⃣ Engage your core and pull your elbows toward your knees, crunching your abs. 4️⃣ Slowly return to the starting position while keeping tension on your core. 5️⃣ Repeat for 10-15 reps, focusing on slow, controlled movement. ❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid (to save your lower back!): 🚫 Don’t pull with your arms—your abs should do the work! 🚫 Avoid overarching your lower back—keep your spine neutral. 🚫 Don’t rush the movement—slow & controlled is key for muscle engagement. 🚫 Keep your hips stable—no swinging! If done right, you’ll feel the burn where it matters! Who else swears by cable crunches for sculpting their core? Drop a 🔥 if you’re adding this to your next workout! #StrongerEveryDay #CoreOnFire #CableCrunches #abs #absworkout #abdomen #GymTok

Cable Romanian Deadlifts = Back-Friendly Gains 💪 Struggling with back pain during traditional RDLs? Switching to cable Romanian deadlifts can be a game-changer! This variation reduces spinal loading while still effectively targeting your hamstrings and glutes. The cable provides constant tension, promoting better muscle engagement without overloading your lower back. Here’s how to optimize your cable RDLs for maximum benefit: 1. Set Up Properly: Attach a straight bar or rope to the low pulley of the cable machine. Stand facing the machine, feet hip-width apart, and grab the attachment with both hands. 2. Engage Your Core: Before initiating the movement, brace your core to stabilize your spine and prevent excessive arching. 3. Hinge at the Hips: With a slight bend in your knees, push your hips back while keeping your back straight. Focus on feeling a stretch in your hamstrings. 4. Maintain Arm Position: Keep your arms straight but not locked, allowing the cable to guide the movement. Avoid pulling with your arms; let your hips drive the motion. 5. Controlled Movement: Lower the weight slowly, maintaining tension in your hamstrings and glutes. Return to the starting position by driving your hips forward, squeezing your glutes at the top. 6. Avoid Overextension: At the top of the movement, ensure you’re standing tall without leaning back to prevent unnecessary stress on your lower back. Incorporate these into your routine to build strength without compromising your back health. Who’s ready to give cable RDLs a try? 🔥🍑 #CableRDL #BackFriendlyFitness #StrengthTraining #rdl #deadlift #romaniandeadlift #GymTok #glutes #glutesworkout

Smith Machine Elevated Reverse Lunges for Glutes 🍑🔥 @DFYNE DC ANGELIQUE If you’re looking to grow and strengthen your glutes, elevated reverse lunges on the Smith machine are a must! Elevating your front foot increases range of motion, helping you target the glutes even more. Here’s how to do them: ✨ How to Perform: 1️⃣ Set Up: Adjust the Smith machine bar to shoulder height and place a step or small platform in front of you. 2️⃣ Position Yourself: Stand under the bar with your feet hip-width apart, positioning the bar across your upper back. 3️⃣ Step Back: Take a controlled step back off the platform, keeping most of your weight on your front leg. 4️⃣ Lower Down: Drop your back knee toward the ground, keeping your front shin vertical and chest up. 5️⃣ Push Through: Drive through your front heel to return to standing. 6️⃣ Repeat: Complete all reps on one leg before switching. 🔥 Glute Activation Tip: Lean slightly forward and focus on pushing through your front heel to maximize engagement! Save this for your next lower-body day & let me know if you try it! 💪🏽⬇️ #GluteGains #SmithMachineLunges #LegDay
