Feeling like one tough mother after this workout! I loved it!

- Chin and chest up 
- Focus on pulling through your elbows and not allowing your arms to overpower
- If you’re using a squat cage, you can use a heavy resistance band (message me for recommendations) to help assist your pull up progression.
- If you’re at the gym, look for the pull up machine that can help you with assisted pull-ups

Assisted pull-ups

With the cable machine set at the highest possible position, attach the rope attachment.

Sitting on the floor in front of the machine, grab the rope and pull it towards your face. Keep your elbows high, and focus on feeling this movement in your lats/middle back.

Slow and controlled.

Seated cable face pulls

- Place your upper back on the bench 
- Keep a slight bend at the elbow as you lower dumbbell back 
- Focus on engaging your lats as your pull the dumbbell forward
- Also keep your glutes raised and keep a neutral spine

Dumbbell pullover

Grabbing a light set of dumbbells, bend slightly forward. Starting with the wide row, row your arms up towards your chest, then lower back to start position. From start position, go into a front raise. That is 1 rep.

Bent over wide row to front raise

- Start with the back flat and chest parallel to the ground
- Lift elbows up towards the ceiling until the barbell touches your chest
- Lower down until about mid shin

Bent over barbell rows

- Grab the bar with your palms facing forward with a wide grip
- Lean back slightly to around 30 degrees, keeping your chest up                                                                                                                                                                                  
- Bring the bar down to your upper chest engaging your back as you pull
- Pause and return to the initial position

I love the plans! I workout from home so a listed at home alternative to some typical gym equipment would be super helpful.

Ashley I have a problem with the app. On several of the exercises I read them first before watching the video. When I did this I can’t get the video to load. I just get the circle loading sign forever. How
Do I fix this?
