Yes! Glute specific complexes with afew hamstring exercises within!
I personally love giant sets, complexes, supersets, trisets or longer sets with structured rest when isolating the glutes and today is no different!
It’s all about how you do it…let’s make this as intense, smooth and controlled as possible!
For this glute & hamstring workout you will need:
A dumbbell (or a kettlebell or barbell for hip thrusts & sumo deadlift squats
A chair or bench for hip thrusts
A glute band
Optional is a yoga block to elevate the feet during single leg hip thrusts!
The dumbbell I am using for your reference is 25kg.
I also place a towel under the dumbbell to increase the comfort!
The timer will be on for each complex 2 1/2 minutes with 30 seconds rest in between each complex!
There are only 2 exercises per complex!

BANDED HAMSTRING THRUST x10

FINISHER!
BANDED HIP THRUSTS x10
HAMSTRING THRUSTS x10
During the finisher hip thrusts, you will notice I lift my toes off the floor when at bottom position! This is simply because it feels natural for me and even though am lowering quite low, I ensure my back is not arching so bringing the upper body ‘with me’ as I lower. Keeping chin tucked in, looking towards my pelvis area, not allowing back to arch and thinking about tucking my tailbone up towards my head are some of the cues I think about!
I hope you have a super intense and rewarding workout!! Your glutes will for sure!
