I love the introduction of a new move with the forearm pull-ups. While I have practiced many different pull-up and bar techniques, this was my first time trying these. I had no trouble getting over the bar and finding a grip but after a few reps I would inevitably slip off the rounded bar or the minor discomfort from forearm pressure would turn to actual pain near my inner elbows (one of the only places I could get a grip when slipping). Any additional guidance in the notes for that particular move would be helpful, including any modifications, progressions, or substitutions. I tried using a pull-up assist band for a few sets, but that made the movement even more awkward and my balance on the bar precarious (though the pressure/pain was mitigated with less weight pulling on the bar).  Thank you for the coaching as I learn something new.

Struggled a bit, had to modify a few, great 👍👍

• Lie on your back, Supine Tuck position.
• Extend one leg. Bring your opposite knee & elbow to touch. Squeeze this connection.
• Alternate sides. Maintain your core connection, keep your lower back glued to the ground.
• Maintain a steady tempo and full ROM.

Supine Cross Crawl

• Start in Supine Tuck position. Extend arms and legs to full Hollow Body. Keep lower back glued to ground.

• Maintain this tension, roll to the side, to prone, to side, to supine. Tuck, extend to Hollow and repeat.

• Slow down and limit the use of momentum. Keep your core control to alternate between Hollow, Side Arch, and Prone Arch positions.

Long Rolls

• Start in a plank position, arms locked out - slightly wider than shoulder width with fingers turned out.

• Keep your pelvic tucked and core braced.

• Keep your arms locked out. Draw your shoulder blades together, then shove the ground and spread your shoulder blades across your back. Hold protraction for 2-3 seconds.

Scapular Push Ups

• Hold a thin resistance in front of you. Draw your shoulders and and brace your core. 

• Pull the band apart. Focus on scapular retraction - bringing your shoulder blades together.

• Control the recoil, keeping your shoulders stable.

Band Pull Aparts

Mobility Warm Up

• Anchor resistance band to a pole or door.  Choose bilateral or unilateral rows.
• Assume a standing or half kneeling position - get rooted into the ground. 
• Grip the band and drive your elbows back retracting your shoulders with each rep.
• Pause at the end of each pull and contract your lats.

Resistance Band Rows

• Attach a resistance band to a pole or door.
• Set up a strong stance - standing or tall / half kneeling. Perform bilateral or unilateral press.
• Press arm(s) to lock out. Control the recoil. 
• Optional: Integrate stepping patterns with the press.

Resistance Band Chest Press

• Attach a resistance band to a door or pole.
• Hold the band and walkout until there is slight tension.
• Keep core and glutes braced 
• With an open stance, rooted into the ground - press the band away from your chest. Pause for 1-2 seconds.

*10 reps each side.*

Resistance Band Core Press

Resistance Band TriSet

• Start in High Hip Foot Hand Crawl
• Bend elbows and shift weight forward in a swooping action.
• Skim the ground and rise up to a Prone Spinal Extension.
• Reverse the path and return to High Hip Crawl.
• Modifications: reduce the range of motion or use an incline.

Diving Push Ups

• Start in FH Crawl position with long spine & locked out arms.
• Pick up your opposite hand & foot. Push extra hard through your support hand & foot for stability
• Rotate your body towards the lifted arm. 
• Extend your lifted leg perpendicular from your body. Keep support arm locked out.
• Draw the free leg back underneath your body as you rotate back to the FH crawl position.

*20 alternating reps.*

Crawl Kick Thrus

SuperSet #1

• Position yourself between two chairs. Press position with locked out arms.
• Keep shoulders stable and depressed. Slightly lean forward and lower into the dip.
• Avoid allow your shoulders to drift upwards. Keep your neck long.
• Can be performed bodyweight or with load (dip belt).
• Modification: Assisted Dip - keep feet in contact with the ground to assist the movement.

Dips

• Start in active hang position - shoulders plugged in, pelvis level, core engaged.

• Strong pull to bring your chest to the bar. Drive your elbows back with each pull

• Vary your grip and the width of your hand placement.

• Modify the movement with assistance from a chair or a resistance band.

Pull Ups

• Establish a strong, active hang.
• Hold your knees together and tuck
• Tuck high enough to allow your hips to lift.
• Work to increase your ROM to tuck your feet to the bar.
• Focus on control in the eccentric phase of the movement.

Hanging Knee Tucks

SuperSet #2

• Supine Tuck Position to start.
• Brace your core and glue your lower back to the ground.
• Extend your arms and legs. Hold. 
• Create a small rocking action from your lower to mid back.

Keep your focus on maintaining your core connection strong through the set - bottom ribs and hip points stay knit together.

Hollow Body Rocks

• From lying supine - brace your core.
• In one fluid motion: Lift one leg. Sit up & reach for your toes with the opposite hand.
• Control yourself as you lower back down to supine lying.

*Alternate sides.

Diagonal V Ups

• Plank position start with protracted shoulders.
• Sit hips back to heels. Shift forward and bring your knee to your triceps.

Great workout! Had to do some modifications. 4 min stretches seemed too long though.

Great workout, and quite difficult! I did the push up series right after the warm-up to make sure I will manage to complete them! Thanks for this

Great work out. However, round 3 I think, are we supposed to do 2 sets of bridges?

Plyo at the beginning was brutal! Had to take it a little slow.

Great, first crow balance achieved 👍👍👍

BS [PHASE 2] Week 1 / Day 3: Upper Body

Great! Plyo made my legs feel like jello!

BS [PHASE 2] Week 1 / Day 4: Lower Body

Started in my usual way, but then added music to the workout and that transformed the moves into more expressive movement patterns and explored some different shapes within the sets.. super enjoyable!

Enjoyed that, I've got spaghetti for legs now 🤣

Great cardio from the plyo and the supersets and squat series were sneaky-challenging and fun.

Great workout. Sadly the offline download works only for half the exercises, and the next exercise tap is almost impossible to find...
