Chest Press with Hip Lift
On back wiorking up to weights. As the hands come up the hips are lifted from bridge position. Make sure to tell the chest to fire so from the armpits and not the neck. Slow and controlled to activate the backside at the same time.

Leg and Back Strength
Practice straight legs (slight knee bend) flat back no rounding or reaching, chin tucked as arms go in front of legs toward the ground. Push rear back then always stand tall with a squeeze of the buns. Once used to that add a row once bent over- adding weight gradually.
