A 40-minute heavy lower body session targeting hamstrings and glutes, with dumbbells, a bench and four rounds of work.
Sydney Cummings Houdyshell focuses on the posterior chain here: after a warm-up, you work through four rounds of 40 seconds of effort and 20 of rest, plus a quick 20-second burner to keep intensity high. Dumbbells and a bench are used for moves like Romanian deadlifts and hip thrusts, with a cool-down to finish. The video runs about 42 minutes.
Collections
Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Intermediate lifters with dumbbells and a bench who want a heavy, structured posterior chain session at home.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal without dumbbells and a bench, or if you are new to heavy lifting, since the focus is on challenging loads.
Key Benefits
Builds hamstring and glute strength with heavy loads, controlled tempo and muscle connection in a clearly timed format.
Things to Keep in Mind
Choose weights you can control with a neutral spine on deadlifts and hip thrusts, and lighten up if your knees or lower back complain.
