Workout 1: Glutes & Hamstrings

Welcome to The Sculpt. Today you meet the two lifts that will change your shape more than anything else you've done: the hip thrust and the Romanian deadlift. Go light. Learn the squeeze at the top of the thrust and the stretch at the bottom of the deadlift. Pick weights you can do for 10 clean reps with two left in you, and log them. Those numbers are where you start, not where you'll stay.
