Absolutely fantastic! Such an encouragement to keep going and push to the limits!

Warm-Up with Elliptical (5-10 minutes)
Flat Bench Press (3 x 4-6)
Incline Barbell Bench Press (3 x 4-6)
Cable Chest Flies (3 x 6-8)
Standing Barbell Overhead Press (3 x 4-6)
Cable Single Arm Lateral Raise (3 x 6-8 each arm)
Bodyweight Dips (3 x 6-8)
Cooldown Stretching (5-10 minutes)

Light to moderate pace to get the blood flowing and work up a slight sweat. A short 5-10 minute cardio warmup has been shown to help increase growth hormone levels in the body. Priming your muscles for the workout ahead!

Elliptical

- Grip the bar with about shoulder width apart
- Keep elbows slight tucked with shoulders down
- Plant your feet and grip the floor with toes
- Keep wrists straight with neutral alignment (don’t let them fold back)
- Bring the bar down to your mid chest  
- Push the bar straight up engaging your chest

Flat Bench Press

- Grasp the barbell with hands shoulder width apart
- Maintain a neutral wrist position with your wrists in line with your forearms
- Keep elbows slightly tucked in front (not flared out to the sides)
- Bring barbell down to mid/upper chest then push upward to full extension but without locking out the elbow
- Pause briefly at the bottom of the rep then return to starting position

Incline Barbell Bench Press

- Start by standing tall, with feet staggered, and a cable handle in each hand
- Bring your hands together engaging your chest
- Pause at the top and let your arms slowly return back to the starting position

Cable Chest Flies

- Start with barbell at chest height
- Grip with hands slightly outside shoulder width apart
- Keep wrist in line with forearms as much as possible and keep elbows in front of you
- Brace your core, squeeze your glutes, and then press the bar overhead
- Slowly bring the bar back down to chest for starting to position

Standing Barbell Overhead Press

- With the outside arm, cable crossing between your legs
- Maintaining a slight bend in your working elbow, raise your arm up to shoulder height 
- Pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position 
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Cable Single Arm Lateral Raise

- Bend at the elbows to lower down
- Keep your elbows close to your body and your torso tipped forward 
- Extend your arms engaging your chest to push up

Bodyweight Dips

It’s always import to let the heart rate slow down to normal gradually for best recovery. As well as flush out the deoxygenated blood from the muscles.
