Arms are noodles, don’t have strength to do dips but I did use a bench as an alternative to them

Warmup:
Dynamic Upper Body Warmup

Workout:
1. Barbell Bench Press 6 x 4
2. Military Press 6 x 4
3. Incline Dumbbell Press 6 x 4
4. Dips 6 x 4 (Tuck your legs under your body, lean slightly forward. Control the movement down, and explode up)
5. Tricep Rope Pulldown 6 x 4

This warmup targets the rotator cuffs and shoulders, which are the sensitive parts of the upper body that are most prone to injury. Use this warmup before any pulling or pushing, to flush blood into the rotator cuffs and properly prepare them for pulling and pushing movements.

- Start with a LIGHT plate or dumbbell in your hand
- Keep elbow parallel to the ground
- Rotate your arm slowly down towards the ground
- You will feel a slight stretch behind your shoulder

Rotator Cuff Warmup Exterior (Each Arm)

- Start with a LIGHT plate or dumbbell
- Keep your elbow parallel to the ground
- Slowly rotate the plate upwards until even with your head
- Rotate back down again until the arm is at a 45-degree angle
- You will feel a slight stretch in your armpit (rotator cuff)

Rotator Cuff Warmup Interior (Each Arm)

-Start with a weight plate or dumbbell beside your head. Elbow out forward
-  Raise the weight up above your head, rotating your elbow so it is outward
- Bring the weight down again slowly, repositioning your elbow to outward again

Light Plate or Dumbbell Warmup (Each Arm)

Upper Body Dynamic Warmup

- Lie down on the flat bench so that your neck and head are supported
- Your knees should be at a 90-degree angle with your feet flat on the floor
- Position yourself underneath the bar so that the bar is in line with your chest, hands slightly wider than your shoulders
- Bring the barbell down slowly to your chest
- Explode back up to your starting position using your pectoral muscles

Barbell Bench Press

- Hold the bar with hands just wider than shoulder-width apart, wrists stacked over your elbows
- Keep your core braced and eyes looking straight ahead
- Press the bar directly overhead in alignment with the mid-foot 
- Lower the bar back down to the starting position with control

Military Press

- Lie down on the incline bench so that your neck and head are supported
- Your knees should be at a 90-degree angle with your feet flat on the floor
- Position yourself underneath the dumbbells so that they are in line with your chest, hands slightly wider than your shoulders
- Bring the dumbbells down slowly to your chest
- Explode back up to your starting position using your pectoral muscles

Incline Dumbbell Press

- Grab the parallel bars and suspend your body up with straight arms
- Lower your body by bending your elbows while leaning forward
- Dip down until your shoulders are below your elbows
- Lift your body up by straightening your arms

(Tuck your legs under your body, lean slightly forward. Control the movement down, and explode up)

Dips

- Attach a rope to a cable stack as high as possible and assume a standing position
- Grasp the rope with a neutral grip (palms facing in) and lean forward slightly by hinging at the hips
- Initiate the movement by extending the elbows and flexing the triceps
- Pull the rope downward until the elbows are almost locked out 
- Bend the elbows lowering the weight under control back to the starting position
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions

W3/D2 Core and Cardio

W3/D3 Push | Strength

Took couple days off and totally regret starting again with this workout 😂

Not sure if it’s a glitch but it says lower body dynamic stretch but shows me upper body movements?

W3/D4 Lower Body | Strength

added 2 pull ups, slow and steady 💪🏻

Pull-ups are still difficult I use a band to help, have a long way to go before I can at least hit one on my own 🥴

W4/D1 Pull | Strength

The lightheartedness was real, didn’t finish the split squats those are my most hated, substitute front squats for back squats. Have a wrist injury and it just was not cooperating today
