Came back for seconds on this hefty beast of a thing

Fetch

Training arms twice a week now! Squeeze from your chest on the bench. 

Squeeze from triceps on Pushdown. 

Squeeze from abs on wipers.

New insight video ‘Proud Chest & Right Triangle’ dropping this week. Look for it - it’s epic!

GOAL 
Great pump, chest strengthener and build ultimate confident posture  

DETAILS
1. Place a flat bench underneath the smith machine. Now place the barbell at a height that you can reach when lying down and your arms are almost fully extended. Once the weight you need is selected, lie down on the flat bench. Using a pronated grip that is wider than shoulder width, unlock the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. This will be your starting position.
2. As you breathe in, come down slowly until you feel the bar on your middle chest.
3. After a second pause, bring the bar back to the starting position as you breathe out and push the bar using your chest muscles. Lock your arms in the contracted position, hold for a second and then start coming down slowly again. Tip: It should take at least twice as long to go down than to come up.

CUES

- Proud Chest

GOAL
Burn em brah. This is the optimal exercise for building rounder shoulders to trick people into thinking you have a tinier waist #TrickorTreat

DETAILS
1. Grip can vary. Neutral grip for basic life or internally rotate with the dumbbell slightly in front of your hip to target that rotator cuff (lighter weight).

3. Elbows are slightly bent and you're initiating the movement with your shoulders.

Pro-Tip: We're going for blood flow on this. No need to get real heavy, just go lighter and check that ego.

Great pump, great flow as usual coach! I’d greatly appreciate if you could share the number setting of the incline bench for the various movements that require incline. Based on the video for incline smith it looked to be about a “3-4”, I train at blink, their benches are made by Life Fitness. Thanks again for all your work and quality content
