Train with intensity.  Do not rush through your workout, Slow down your reps.

Try and use heavier dumbbells for back if you can

Attach a band to a pull-up bar or door handed, then add grips to the band if you have them.  Take steps back in other to create resistance and keep your core and glutes engaged.  

Do a constant tension row, trying to peak the contraction against the bands on every rep.

Banded high rows

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees bent. Lean forward slightly with dumbbells in your hands and directly below your shoulders. Pull one dumbbell up to the side of your chest, then control it back down to the starting position. Repeat, switching arms.

Alternating rows*

1: Attach a band to your door or a pull up bar if you have one

Step 2: Draw your shoulder blades back together and down, as if you were trying to stuff them into your back pockets. Think: “proud chest.”

Step 3: Draw your ribs down, tuck your tailbone under, and brace your core. Your torso should feel like one tight, solid column. Bend your hips back until your torso is at a 30–45-degree angle.

Step 4: Step back from the door/bar a bit so that you feel tension on the cable and your arms are fully extended overhead. You should feel a stretch on your lats (the muscles along the sides of your back). Set your feet at shoulder width.

Step 5: Slowly drive your arms down to your sides in an arcing motion with elbows locked out, so your hands end up in line with your hips, or just behind them.

Banded straight arm pulldown

To do a traditional pull apart grab a light band with your hands about shoulder width apart (make them narrower if this is too easy). Bring your shoulders as close to your ears as possible, then take them as far away from your ears as possible and keep them there throughout the set. From here, try to pull the band apart, ensuring your shoulders don’t shrug up towards the ears and you keep your hands at roughly the same height as the shoulders. Pause when the workout band touches your chest and return to the starting position.

Banded pull aparts

Superset 1 back 2

Set up your bands attaching them from your feet to your dumbbell.  This creates more resistance. 
Stand with your hands wider than shoulder width apart. 
Straighten your back, bend at the knees slightly, and slowly let the weight down until it's just below your knees. This is the start position.
Keeping your body fixed, pull the weight up until it almost hits your body.
Pause, and then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.

Bent over banded row *

Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand. Your hands should be down at your side with your palms facing in.
While keeping your palms facing in and without twisting your arm, curl the dumbbell of the right arm up towards your left shoulder as you exhale. Touch the top of the dumbbell to your shoulder and hold the contraction for a second.
Slowly lower the dumbbell along the same path as you inhale and then repeat the same movement for the left arm.
Continue alternating in this fashion until the recommended amount of repetitions is performed for each arm.

Great last workout of this plan. Can’t wait to start the next one 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Great last workout!! I want to thank you for this program.  Although really hard and challenging at times, it was great knowing that I was able to push myself with every workout. I have lost 14lbs by staying consistent with my food along with this program. I can see the change in my body and the muscle definition coming in. I am super grateful. Thank you once again!
