Targeted muscles: Lats, rear delts, glutes, hips
• Stand with slight bend in right leg, hinge over at waist and hold dumbbell in left hand
• Place right hand on stable, waist-high surface
• Lift left leg to form “T” with body; fire left glute
• Slide left shoulder blade toward spine, then lift weight toward body by driving elbow toward ceiling, keeping elbow tight to ribs
• Return to start position with control
• Repeat on other side
The Word: “This is the ultimate lift to get that cross-action across the back of your body. We look for stability across the hips, glutes and lower back, all the way up to the lats. It’s the same action used when you run.”
