It’s that time of year… Black Friday just opened. I love having you here… get a year of training with me for just $9.30 a month. That’s less than 2 coffees. Use code BLACK25

GOAL
Focus on targeting that brachialis to contribute to arm thickness more so than just your biceps #SecretSauce

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with a neutral/hammer grip and fully stretched arm. 
2. Elbow should be slightly in front of your hip, putting more stress on the bicep. 
3. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

Pro-Tip: Elbows don't flale, chest isn't overly activated, and you aren't rotating the weight at all. Straight up, straight down. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Relax the Chest
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
- Squeeze at the Top

Rope Curls

GOAL
Extreme resistance to build those triceps 

DETAILS
1. Stagger your legs in lunge stance. 
2. Grab a rope overhead. 
3. Keep elbows close to head. 
4. Extend up by squeezing your triceps. 
5. Flex wrists out. 
6. Exhale and keep a proud chest. 

Pro tip: go light until you feel slow and controlled reps. 

If you experience pain, do regular rope push downs. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Elbows Close

Overhead rope extension

Arm Blood Flow

GOAL
Use gravity and eliminate momentum to blast those muscle fibers to shreds #Shredz

DETAILS
1. Grab your EZ-bar, lay chest forward on an incline bench and scoot up to where you get a good strong position at the top. 
2. While straddling the bench, let the weight pull your arms to a dead hang. Palm faces down. 
3. Begin to curl the weight up by squeezing the forearms + bicep, only hinging at the elbow.
4. Use your spidey focus to keep the elbow directly below the shoulder and not letting it creep back. Don't shorten the range by pushing the elbow back behind your shoulder. 
5. Now squeeze that ish.

Beware: Beware of web-like material squirting out of your wrists after these curls. So worth it. 

CUES
- Squeeze
- Stationary Elbow
- Elbow Directly Below Shoulder
- Control That Negative

Ez Bar Reverse Spider Curl

GOAL
Isolate the elbows and avoid shoulder movement for better biceps 

DETAILS
1. Lay on an incline bench. 
2. Extend arms and grab the bar. 
3. Begin by pushing your elbows forward.
4. Squeeze from the bicep while keeping the elbow directly below or slightly in front of the shoulder.
5. Lower slowly, pushing the elbow forward as you go down. 

CUES
- Elbow Forward
- Squeeze From Bicep

EZ-Bar Spider Curl

GOAL
Tricep sculptor…just keep those elbows in place 

DETAILS

2. Grab the EZ-Curl bar and extend overhead. With elbows by chin, lower the bar slowly to behind forehead.
3. Squeeze your triceps to extend the weight up. 
4. Keep your elbows and shoulders in place. 
5. Pause at top and then repeat. 

CUES
- Elbows by Chin
- Wrists Neutral
- Be a Badass Cuz Most Guys Don't Even Do These

EZ Bar Skull Crushers

Ez Bar Pump

GOAL
So much concentration required on these you're going to be feeling like Yoda. No dilution needed. Lock in your elbow to prevent shoulder movement and just use that bicep #UseTheForce

DETAILS
1. With a dumbbell, sit down, and lock your elbow on the inside of your knee. 
2. Position your shoulder directly over your locked in elbow.
3. Begin rep by squeezing your bicep, only the forearm moves. 
4. Finish the rep with the dumbbell just above the middle of your bicep. 

Reps are per arm. 

Pro-Tips: Your chest can be tilted up more or level, whatever feels good. 

CUES

- Lock in Elbow
- Relax Shoulder
- Dead Hang
- Squeeze Hard at the End
- Sell Tickets to Gun Show

Concentration Curl

GOAL
A lil twist to the skull crushers - finish with the palm forward + keep the elbows more behind your chin #Crushed

DETAILS

1. Lay flat on a bench, with a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Keep your palms facing each other and bend at the elbows so the dumbbells go toward your head, keeping your hands far enough apart that the dumbbells go to your ears.
3. Wrists are neutral and not getting broken by the weight.
4. Extend by squeezing the tricep + twist so your palm is forward.

Note: you can do this on the floor if you don’t have a bench. 

CUES
- Elbows Above Chin
- DB Comes to Forehead
- Wrists Neutral
- Be a Badass Cuz Most Guys Don't Even Do These

Dumbbell Skull Crushers w a Twist

Isolation

GOAL Target short head of the bicep for that width + peak — aka arms that actually fill out a T-shirt.

DETAILS
1. Sit down on a flat bench with the EZ bar in hand, palms up [supinated grip], resting the bar across your thighs.
2. Get a proud chest proud with shoulders rolled back. 
3. Curl the bar up while keeping your elbows glued to your sides — don’t let them drift forward.
4. Focus on squeezing the biceps hard at the top, then control the way down like you’re resisting temptation.
5. Keep tension — don’t let the bar rest fully back on your thighs between reps.

CUES
- Elbows Pinned
- Proud Chest
- Squeeze at the Top
- Control the Drop

EZ-Bar Lap Curl

GOAL 
Amazing, just amazing. Great way to overload the triceps, chest and shoulders while getting a lot of volume 

DETAILS 
1. Stand facing a Smith machine bar or sturdy elevated platform at an appropriate height. 
2. Place your hands next to one another on the bar.
3. Position your feet back from the bar with arms and body straight. This will be your starting position.
4. Keeping your body straight, lower your chest to the bar by bending the arms.
5. Return to the starting position by extending the elbows, pressing yourself back up.

CUES - Right Triangle 
- Squeeze from Triceps 
- Strong Plank Position

Incline Close Grip Push Ups

Juiced Up

GOAL
We’re thickening the density of your abdominal wall for a proper 6-pack. My favorite exercise for abs, ever. 

DETAILS
1. Use a close grip attachment and pick a challenging weight. 
2. Get on your hands and knees and walk back about 6 feet from the machine. 
3. Squeeze your elbows around your head. 
4. Hover over the space ahead of you. 
5. Begin by crunching the belly button into the spine. 
6. Find your balance and isolate the ab crunch. 
7. Avoid pushing the hips back towards your feet as you crunch. 

CUES 
- Hollow Rock
- Hover

Cable Crunch

GOAL
Athletic advantage, injury prevention and oblique shredder

DETAILS
1. Set up a cable to the lowest height [note you can also set to shoulder height or above for other angles]. 
2. Grab the end with both arms extended. 
3. Start with shoulders, hips, and feet square/straight forward. 
4. Rotate the torso away from the anchor point, keeping the hips square. 
5. Then, chop that wood by rotating torso towards your hip and slightly towards the ground.
6. Squeeze abs & exhale. Return slowly to start position. Repeat. 

Pro-Tips: Ribs are tucked and you compress/crunch your abs a little. Back foot pivots as you chop. Hips can rotate or stay stationary, whichever gives you a better ab squeeze. 

CUES
- Squeeze Butt
- Rotate Torso
- Tuck Ribs
- Crunch Ribs to Hip Slightly
- Straight Arms Whole Time
