With exercises that require laying on a bench, would a mat on the floor work?

- Start lying on a bench with only your upper back/shoulders across the bench
- Place your feet firmly on the floor and place your hips just slightly below the bench (Your head should be off the bench too)
- Grab the upper head of the dumbbell with both hands and hold it straight over your chest, with your arms extended but keeping a small bend on the shoulders
- Both palms should be pressing against the underside of one of the sides of the dumbbell
- While keeping your arms straight, lower the weight slowly in an arc behind your head
-  Make sure your core is engaged and you’re paying attention to your chest and back muscles
- Lower the dumbbell until the head you’re holding reaches around the same height as your head

Dumbbell Seated Shoulder Press w / ISO Hold

- Hinge forward at the hips until your chest is parallel to the floor, one hand on the bench and the opposite hand holding a dumbbell
- Keep the grip neutral, so that your palm is facing your body, and keep your arm outstretched
- Slowly, and with control, bring the dumbbell up toward your hip, hinging at the elbow
- The movement should come from your back and shoulder muscles, not from your arm
- Pause at the top of the movement, before lowering the dumbbell back to your starting position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

It was really good, I was just wondering for every workout do I have to slide the workout to the next? Or it changes workouts by itself?

Good arm workout ! Enjoyed it and not too tired so I didn’t over do it like I did the legs 😅 W1D2 done might even through in some abs

Jaia

W3/D3 Legs (Quads and Glutes)

Challenging but feeling like I had a great workout!

W3/D4 Chest and Arms

Great workout! Very knee friendly with people recovery from knee surgery like me :)

By far my favorite lower body day so far!!!!

W4/D1 Legs (Glutes Focused)

The dumbbell bent over alt rear delt fly was pictured as being alternating but describe as a single arm exercise so wasn’t sure what to do or how many reps. A bit confusing as a beginner looking for guidance! Had to modify the lateral raises because I had nothing to hold on to. Didn’t find this one as challenging but still good!

Great workout! 

The exercise where we have to hold onto a rack is a bit hard to do at home.

Those minutes Definitely went on longer than I expected. Legs are jello!!  I am feeling stronger so this was a great test to show that.
