All 4’s Thoracic Rotations

Exhale as you drive up
Inhale as you lower

Push-back

Form Tips:
• place fingertips behind ears
• abs locked in 
• drive up, squeezing your upper back and driving elbows up 
• keep glutes flexed

Back Extension

Warm-Up

Form tips:

Seated Row

Form Tips:

Standing Shoulder Press

Advanced: perform off bench 
Beginner: perform on ground 

Form tips: 
• begin by rolling shoulders back and locking them in to help activate lats
• keep abs and ribs locked down 
• begin with weight over chest 
• as you lower keep a slight bend in elbows 
• once lats are fully engaged at the bottom, drive back up *thinking about using your lats and keeping elbows tight 

❌ don’t let elbows flare out 
❌ don’t arch your back or lift ribs as the weight falls back 

✅ do keep your lats engaged the entire time 
✅ do move slowly to protect your joints 

*when on a bench, make sure part of your head/neck is resting to avoid straining your neck - it can be slightly tilted back like mine is in the video just so long as it’s resting.

Lat Pullover

After the first exercise go straight into the second exercise with minimal rest and same with the third. Then rest once all exercises are complete and repeat for the sets given.

Form tips

Complete as many reps as you can until you burn out. You can drop to a modification once. Once you can’t complete any more reps with the modification then stop.
