340lb V-bar Squats!

Ozark
2025/1/22 Edited to

... Read moreThe V-bar squat is a variation that targets your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, helping to build strength and muscle definition. To perform this exercise safely: 1. **Warm-Up**: Always begin with a proper warm-up to prepare your muscles and joints. 2. **Setting Up**: Position the V-bar across your upper back, palms facing inward. 3. **Form Check**: Ensure your feet are shoulder-width apart, and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement. 4. **Squatting Down**: Lower yourself as if sitting back into a chair, keeping your knees aligned with your toes. 5. **Push Through**: Rise back up, pushing through your heels to engage your glutes. Incorporating V-bar squats into your routine can yield fantastic results. Additionally, consider pairing this exercise with accessory lifts such as lunges or deadlifts for balanced leg development. Always listen to your body and adjust the weight accordingly, aiming to improve your reps gradually over time. Engage with the fitness community and share your progress to stay motivated!

Cable Squats = Glute Growth Hack 🍑
If you struggle to “feel” your glutes during squats, switch to cables. The resistance angle pulls you back — forcing your glutes to fire harder. Try this: • 4 sets • 12 slow reps • 2 sec squeeze • 45–60 sec rest Pro Tip: Step slightly back from the machine to increase glute tension. #Glut

Fix your Front Squats & DO THEM!
Fun fact: I used to be TERRIFIED OF FRONT SQUATTING! Simply because I had no idea what I was doing and I was trying to “muscle” the weight with my hands, which ended up hurting my wrists… Your hands are meant to support the bar and stabilize the weight but are not meant to LIFT the weight.

A woman in athletic wear stands in a gym, showcasing her glutes. The image is titled 'Glute building exercises *NO SQUATS*', indicating a workout routine focused on glutes without traditional squats.
A woman performs hip thrusts with a barbell in a gym. The text specifies 'HIP THRUSTS 3X12' and advises to fully extend at the top of the movement for effective glute engagement.
A woman performs RDL's (Romanian Deadlifts) with dumbbells in a gym. The text 'RDL'S 3X12' instructs to bend at the knee and hinge back to make them more glute-focused.
My favorite Glute building exercises -no squats!
If I had to pick 3 favorite Glute exercises these would be it. You can’t go wrong with these, there’s a reason they’re the basics… THEY WORK through progressive overload. I know a lot of you girlies are against squats (I personally love them) so I left them out on this one;) #Lemon8part
