- Squeeze your glutes and retract your shoulder blades (roll them back and lock them down) into the bench. This will make you form a slight arch in your back which is completely fine.
- Press “against” the bench behind you with your shoulders as you press the weight away from you! Use It as a counter force!
- Control the weight and keep your chest pressed out!

Flat DB Bench Press

Choose a weight that you can JUST barely get 6-8 reps with on the fly’s and use that for both exercises.

- Lower the DB’s until the backs of your arms tough the ground.
- Do not “bounce” your arms off of the ground. Everything is controlled.
- Use your chest to fly the DB’s back to the starting position, squeezing hard at the top. 
- Keep your feet planted into the ground at all times.

DB Floor Fly

- Immediately transition to these once you finish 8 Fly’s.
- Press the DB’s while holding them in a neutral position. 
- Lower the DB’s slowly until the backs of your arms lightly touch the ground.

DB Floor Hammer Press

Chest Compound! 🔥

You’re going to double drop every set. 
Start with a weight that you can just push 6 with. Then drop the weight and press for 12 reps. Then drop and press for 20 reps.

- Don’t let the bar “bounce” off of your chest.
- Total control both ways.
- Keep tension on your chest throughout.

Incline Smith Machine Bench Press

Drop the last set. 8 drop failure. 

- Stagger your stance. 
- Lean forward. 
- Lead with your chest. 
- Drive the palms together and keep your chest stuck out throughout the entire movement.

Leaning Forward Cable Fly

- Don’t let the bar drop below your chin. 
- Brace your core before you press and before you lower the bar.

Seated Barbell Shoulder Press

- Lead with your elbows. Drive them up towards the ceiling.
- Grab the bar with a slightly inside shoulder width grip.
- Bring the bar up to eye level.
- You should feel this in your shoulders/traps/upper back.

Barbell Upright Rows

- Use your side delts to lift the weights to the side. No momentum.
- Pause slightly at the top for extra tension.

Seated DB Side Laterals

Shoulder Compound #1

- Keep your elbows high.
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows.
- Slowly control the negative on every rep into a full stretch.

Reverse Pec Dec

- Hang overtop of a low incline bench.
- “Reach for the walls” as you fly the dumbbells out in a controlled fashion.
- Try to pause slightly at the top and control down into a stretch to keep tension on the rear delts throughout the entire movement.
