Description: Week 2 Day 6: CHEST & TRICEPS

Most definitely am getting stronger! I moved up to 20# on my chest press and 15# for my flys! I did up my weight on all of the moves but those two were my “weak spots”! Not only am I stronger physically but mentally too!

You can perform this lift on a regular flat bench with a barbell.

Dumbbell Chest Press

- With a bench set to a slight incline - less than 45 degrees - lay back with dumbbells in your hand.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells to your chest.
- Press straight up toward the ceiling, with your feet digging into the floor and elbow 6" from your ribs. Bring the weights together at the top of the movement and lower back down allowing your elbows to come slightly past 90 degrees.

Incline Dumbbell Chest Press

- 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

Start with a dumbbell in each hand and your palms facing your torso. Keep your back straight with a slight bend in the knees and bend forward at the waist. Your torso should be almost parallel to the floor. Make sure to keep your head up. Your upper arms should be close to your torso and parallel to the floor. Your forearms should be pointed towards the floor as you hold the weights. There should be a 90-degree angle formed between your forearm and upper arm. This is your starting position.
Now, while keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and use your triceps to lift the weights until the arm is fully extended. Focus on moving the forearm.
After a brief pause at the top contraction, inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

Tricep Kickbacks

1.) Start off standing in front of a cable machine, attaching a rope to the high pulley and grabbing the attachment with an overhand (palms down) grip.

2.) Keeping your abs drawn in, back straight and elbows in at your sides, push the rope down towards your thighs.

3.) As you push down towards your thighs, split the rope apart at the bottom and isolate the tricep muscle.

4.) Hold this position for a count and return back up to the starting position.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.

Tricep Pull-Downs

DB Pullover

- 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.
