Cardio done first thing in the morning before your first meal.

Aim to keep your heart rate at 70% of your maximum heart rate [220 - age in years] for the full time.

Bike/Stairs/Jog/Incline Treadmill

Session I: Fasted Cardio

- Lying on an incline bench, Hold light dumbbells in each hand
- Extend and raise your arms in the shape of a “Y” formation (thumbs upward) 
- Then bring them down to form a “T” (thumbs down)
- Follow with the last movement by putting your arms in the shape of a “W” by shrugging and squeezing your shoulder blades together and raising your arms like a field goal, rotating your thumbs pointing behind you

Y-T-W Raise

Band Pull-apart

Session II: Warm Up

- Lay on the incline bench with your feet flat on the ground
- Take a medium, pronated grip on the bar
- Remove the bar from the rack, holding the weight above your chest with your arms extended
- Lower the bar to the sternum by flexing the elbows (Maintain control and do not bounce the bar off of your chest) 
- Extend the elbows, pressing the bar up to the starting position

Incline Barbell Bench Press

- Lie down on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand resting on top of your thighs. The palms of your hands will be facing each other
- Then, using your thighs to help raise the dumbbells up, lift the dumbbells one at a time so that you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width
- Once at shoulder width, rotate your wrists forward so that the palms of your hands are facing away from you
- The dumbbells should be just to the sides of your chest, with your upper arm and forearm creating a 90 degree angle
- Use your chest to push the dumbbells up 
- Lock your arms at the top of the lift and squeeze your chest, hold for a second and then begin coming down slowly (Ideally, lowering the weight should take about twice as long as raising it)

Dumbbell Bench Press

- Select the weight for the machine
- Sit on the seat and press your back firmly against the back pad, with your feet flat on the floor
- Gripping the pec deck handles, pull your arms toward your body while contracting your pectoral muscles
- Bring the handles or arm pads in front of your chest, hold the position for a couple of seconds, and then slowly release back to starting position
- Repeat the desired number of reps

Pec Deck Fly

- Affix one end of a barbell to a landmine
- Start in a half kneeling position, facing down the shaft of the barbell 
- Hold the weighted end of the barbell with both hands in front of your chest
- Brace your core
- Press the weight up until your arms are extended
- Pause, then slowly lower the barbell back to your chest

Landmine Chest Press

Close Grip Bench Press

- Lying back with your arms extended above your shoulders
- Bend at the elbow lowering the EZ-bar toward the top of your head
- Extend your arms back up to starting position

EZ-Bar Skull Crusher

- Sit in an upright position and lift the dumbbell to the top of your shoulder
- Take a deep breath, overlap your hands around the dumbbell, then press it into position overhead
- Maintain an overlapping grip and slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head by unlocking your elbows
- Once your forearms reach parallel or just below, drive the dumbbell back to the starting point by extending the elbows and flexing the triceps

Dumbbell French Press

- Start in a half kneeling position, hinge forward at the hips with back flat and elbow bent 90 degrees
- Keep your upper arm close to your side 
- Extend your arm back until parallel with your body
- Slowly return the weight back to starting position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Cable Tricep Kickback
