*Leave 1-2 Reps In The Tank For The First 3 Sets*

Empty the clip on the last set!!!

- Set the incline bench high and make sure the bar comes down directly on to that upper chest, close to your chin.
- Suck your shoulder blades in and arch your chest out throughout the entire movement to maintain tension on your upper chest/front delts.

High Incline Smith Machine Press

- Lower the dumbbells down in a controlled fashion until your elbows lightly touch the floor.
- Drive your feet and shoulders into the floor while keeping your hips down and press the weight away from you.

DB Floor Press

Drop the last set. 6 drop Till Failure.

- Add the foam roller between your blades to increase the range of motion and free up your scapula during this movement. Feels great.
- Pause for 1 second in the stretch. Squeeze for 2 seconds.
- Keep your shoulders pinned back during this movement and make sure your chest is doing ALL the work.

Seated DB Shrugs

Shoulder Compound! 🔥

*Hold each rep for 1 second at the top.*

- Set the cable up a few notches above your where you knees are as you are laying down to place more emphasis on your side delts as you perform this movement.
- Cross the cable handles over and lay back.
- Do not let the two “balls” on the cables cross over at the bottom of the movement to maintain greater tension on the shoulders.
- Using your side delts, raise the handles out to your sides at a 10 o’clock-2o’clock angle.
- Slowly control the weight down to the starting position, letting It burn all the way!

Lying Cross Cable Side Laterals

*Reps are PER side*

- Raise the DB’s up at a 10-2 o’clock angle for more emphasis on your side delts.
- Perot one side at a time, while holding the opposing arm straight out.
