Description: Week 1- Day 5

Dumbbell Chest Press

Get into a high plank position. Place your hands about 36 inches apart. This will be your starting position.
Lower yourself down until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale (your elbows should be at a 45-degree angle. Not straight out to the side) Next, breathe out and press your upper body back into the starting position. Keep your core tight and press though your palms.
Repeat this pattern for the desired number of repetitions.

Push-Up

Superset 1

- Start by sitting tall, holding a dumbbell behind your head with your hands under the inside base in a diamond shape.
- The entire movement should be performed only at the elbow. 
- Press the dumbbell toward the ceiling keeping your elbows close to your ears.

Tricep Extension

- Lie back on a flat bench. Using a close grip (around shoulder width), lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. This will be your starting position.
- As you breathe in, come down slowly until you feel the bar on your middle chest. Tip: Make sure that - as opposed to a regular bench press - you keep the elbows close to the torso at all times in order to maximize triceps involvement.
- After a second pause, bring the bar back to the starting position as you breathe out and push the bar using your triceps muscles. Lock your arms in the contracted position, hold for a second and then start coming down slowly again. Tip: It should take at least twice as long to go down than to come up.
- Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
- When you are done, place the bar back in the rack.

Narrow Grip Chest Press

Using a close grip, lift the bar and hold it with your elbows in as you lie on the bench. Your arms should be perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
Keeping the upper arms stationary, lower the bar by allowing the elbows to flex. Inhale as you perform this portion of the movement. Pause once the bar is directly above the forehead.
Lift the bar back to the starting position by extending the elbow and exhaling.
Repeat.

Skull Crushers

- Lying on a flat bench, with feet planted on the floor, hold two dumbbells toward the ceiling and slowly lower your arms toward the floor.
- Keeping your elbows soft, reach until your upper arm is even with your shoulder, then return to the starting position.
- Move through your shoulders and not through your elbows.

Great! It would be awesome if there was substitutes for barbell sets - I'm
not quite there yet!

Week 1- Day 2

I’ve totally said this before but honestly, I can’t tell you how many apps, programs, etc. that I’ve signed up for that make things way to complicated. As I woman, I already get so stressed out just walking into the gym.

You’ve literally made me motivated to do the workouts and they’re intense but yet so simple to understand because of the videos and exactly the number of rest time and reps. 

Thank you for putting this together. It’s getting me to a place where I’m falling in love with the gym again 💕
