Description: Arms [Situation]

I’d love some shorter workouts on the fighter feed. I find they always take me longer than the estimated time and finding it hard to fit the whole workout in amongst full time work, looking after dogs etc.

This is insane. Squeeze and watch our new intro videos baby. Let’s go.

Just aim for 20+ reps squeeze and use a light band for muscle activation.

GOAL 
Bicep pump with constant tension 

DETAILS
1. Stand on a band.
2. Create handles out of the band or underhand grip it.
3. Begin by pushing the elbows forward. 
4. Squeeze from your biceps. 
5. Lower slowly and repeat.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Right Triangle 
- Squeeze from Bicep
- Thumbs Out

Resistance Band Curls

GOAL
Tricep sculptor  

DETAILS
1. Standing upright with the torso straight and a very small inclination forward, bring the upper arms close to your body and perpendicular to the floor. Slightly push hips back.
2. Using the triceps, press straight down until the arms are fully extended perpendicular to the floor. The upper arms should always remain stationary next to your torso and only the forearms should move. Exhale as you perform this movement.
3. After a second hold at the contracted position, wrists slowly up to the starting point. Breathe in as you perform this step.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Squeeze from tricep
- Proud Chest
- Hips Back

Banded Tricep Extensions

GOAL
Wider back for a tighter waist and strong look

DETAILS 
1. You will start by grabbing band and using a wider than shoulder-width pronated (palms down) grip. Step backwards two feet or so.
2. Bend your torso forward at the waist by around 30-degrees with your arms fully extended in front of you and a slight bend at the elbows. If your arms are not fully extended then you need to step a bit more backwards until they are. Once your arms are fully extended and your torso is slightly bent at the waist, tighten the lats and then you are ready to begin.
3. While keeping the arms straight, pull the bar down by contracting the lats until your hands are next to the side of the thighs. Breathe out as you perform this step.
4. While keeping the arms straight, go back to the starting position while breathing in.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Squeeze Armpits

Resistance Band Straight Arm Pushdown

Joint [Enhancer]

GOAL
Build peaks that make your sleeves beg for mercy #ArmDayAuthentic

DETAILS
1. Sit on a bench with back support, dumbbells in each hand, arms fully extended down. Palms facing each other — that’s your hammer grip baby. 
2. Proud chest + elbow forward, squeeze your bicep hard. 
3. Lower slowly but maintain a proud chest. 
4. Once you go to failure, hit alternating to failure. Push yourself here.

CUES
- Full Extension at the Bottom
- Supinate on the Alternating
- Zero Momentum

PRO-TIP
Go lighter than you think. Your biceps don’t care about the number on the dumbbell, they care about muscle activation.

Seated Bicep Curls into Alternating Curls

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

GOAL 
Build some killer obliques with this one. These can help with the "V" that everyone is obsessed with, but can also add a little width to your sides so find the balance you want.

DETAILS
1. Feet are shoulder width apart, posture is perfect and upright. Butt n gut squeezed. 
2. With a dumbbell in one hand. Bend to that side. Pretend you're a lil organic, frosted pastry in a toaster. Don't bend back or forward because your golden skin will get burned. 
3. As you're bending to the side, don't push the hips to the side either. Everything is stationary, just the torso is compressed. You are not wiggling those hips. 
4. Return to starting position and repeat each side.

CUES
- Squeeze Ass
- Don't Get Burned
- Hips In Place
- Posture is Upright AF
- Ribs Tucked
