Let's train shoulders and back!

Remember to focus on your form! Once you feel comfortable with the form, challenge yourself with the weight you're using. You are stronger than you think!

1a. DB single arm half kneeling press 4 sets | 6-8 (each) reps

2a. DB seesaw row 4 sets | 5-7 reps

3a. DB pull over 3 sets | 10-12 reps

4a. Seated arnold press 3 sets | 12, 10, 8

SUPERSET
5a. 6 way raise 3 sets | 6-8 reps
5b. plank reach 3 sets | 1 min each

- 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
- Bring the dumbbell back to the starting position keeping your arms extended and your midline engaged

Dumbbell Pullover

- Start in a half kneeling position, holding a dumbbell at your shoulder
- Press the dumbbell up to full arm extension
- Lower the dumbbell with control to starting position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Dumbbell Half Kneeling Single Arm Shoulder Press

- Hinge forward at the hips until your chest is near parallel to the floor, while staying wide across the chest, letting the weights hang down toward the floor
- Make sure you’re sitting back strong in your hips, glutes, and hamstrings, rather than depending on the strength endurance of your lower back
- Keeping your elbows close to your body and your shoulders down and away from your ears, pull one dumbbell up toward your rib cage using the muscles of your upper back
- As you return that weight to the start position, simultaneously row the other upward so that they pass in midair
- Repeating back and forth for time or reps

Dumbbell Seesaw Row

- Start seated with a dumbbell in each hand with your palms toward your face, elbows forward off the body
- Press the dumbbells overhead rotating your wrists/arms as you press up
-  Reach full extension, palms will be facing forward (away from you) at the top
- Reversing the rotation as you lower the dumbbells to starting position

Dumbbell Seated Arnold Press

SUPERSET

- From a standing position
- Keeping a slight bend at the elbow
- Raise the dumbbells laterally until you reach shoulder height 
- Move the dumbbells to forward of the shoulders
- Raise the dumbbells to overhead
- Reverse the sequence back down to starting position

Dumbbell 6 Way Raise

- Hands directly under your shoulders
- Back is not completely flat, upper back slightly rounded to engage your core

Curls and tricep set didn’t have tracker. I wish I could have had the option to “add set”.

The last superset with 1 rep was confusing? Glitch maybe?
