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 Barbell 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

- Keep bend in elbow constant throughout the full ROM
- Keep shoulder down
- Slowly lower the weight and achieve a good stretch at the bottom
- Touch pinkie side of the dumbbell together at the top of rep

Incline Dumbbell Flies

- With back supported hold two dumbbells at your shoulders 
-Keep elbows slightly in front of you
- Press the dumbbells up to full arm extension
- Slowly lower them to the starting position

Dumbbell Seated Shoulder Press

- Have a small forward lean with knees slightly bent
- Keep a slight bend at the elbow
- Maintain a solid grip with thumbs higher than pinkies
- Raise your arms until you reach shoulder height 
- Lower with a slow and controlled movement

Dumbbell 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

- Start with your arms at about 90 degrees 
- Extend at your elbows bringing the rope down
- Spread rope apart at the bottom for a deeper contraction at the triceps 
- Bend the elbows and control weight back to starting position

Rope Tricep Extension

- Start with your hands below the shoulders 
- Bend at the elbows to come down
- Keep the elbows closer to your sides and grip the ground with your fingertips (helps prevent tennis elbow and joint irritation)
- Keep your core tight as you come down 
- Extend your arms engaging your chest as you come up

Push-Ups

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.
