While the Leprechaun might be after a pot of gold, I’m more concerned with achieving buns of steel. Butt…errr but, lets not forget that the entire posterior chain needs to be trained as part of a well-rounded program.

Why? Well, in addition to assisting with the movements that are key in developing great glutes, a strong posterior chain is an important part of overall athleticism and injury prevention.

With that being said, I put together a little Irish-themed workout in honor of St. Patrick’s Day that will hit your entire backside… Lucky you! 😉

Lunge pass through

• Perform a 5-10 minute warmup followed by light stretching.
• Choose a weight that is challenging to you (moderate-heavy), but not max.
• Perform each movement back-to-back in RBT style circuits.
• Perform 10 reps of each movement.
• Repeat the circuit for a total of 5 rounds.
• Click the exercise for a link to a demo on how to perform them properly.

If you try it, let me know what you think!
