Description: W4/D5 Pull B

Compound lifts are fewer reps, higher intensity. Increase the weight from last week.

Swing each arm across body and in forward & backward circles

Arm swings

• Can use a band, PVC pipe, or a broom. 
• Keeping arms straight, bring arms all the way down front and back.
• Poorly named, but it’s a good upper body warmup.

Shoulder “dislocators”

• WGS. 
• Focus: hip extension and thoracic rotation. 
• Try to get elbow to the floor, and bring arm up as if “wiping a wall.” 
• Keep hips open the whole time!
