3 Barbell squats

Rest a barbell on your shoulders and slowly lower yourself until your thighs are at right angles to the floor. Spring up in an explosive motion. “When you’re going around a corner you’ve got around five Gs (five times your weight) on your legs, so to maintain control you need really strong glutes and quads,” says Hamilton. Do a set of 15-20 reps.
