“Many women love to get stronger, so heavy strength moves like barbell deadlifts and squats aid in that. But higher-rep hypertrophy work also helps build muscle while increasing your caloric expenditure.”
JUMP SQUAT: With feet shoulder width apart, squat down until thighs are parallel to the floor and then explode up until feet leave the ground. (3 x 10 reps)
BARBELL BACK SQUAT: Keeping your core tight and chest up, squat down with a loaded barbell on your traps. (4 x 5–10 reps)
