Description: Back Attack 💀

Nasha

Wear lifting straps today! Let’s get this back pump.

GOAL 
Upper back demolition without any lower back stress

DETAILS
1. Set bench to 45 degree incline. 
2. Waddle over it with two DBs.
3. Slightly retract your shoulder blades. Begin the rep by squeezing back with your shoulder blades.
4. Squeeze the elbows back towards your belly button and pull your chest up to nearly upright.
5. Stop once your elbow is bent at 90 degrees and at your ribs, then slowly lower the dumbbell back.
6. Try to squeeze your shoulder blades at the top of each row.

CUES - Proud Chest
- Elbows to Belly Button 
- Initiate with Shoulder Blades

Seal Rows

GOAL
Wider back for smaller hips and waist

DETAILS
1. Set resistance. The heavier = the easier. 
2. Arms straight and wide grip. 
3. Externally rotate your shoulder. Think of showing your arm pits.
4. Begin by retracting your shoulder blades back and down.
5. Squeeze the elbows out and think of tucking them into your pockets. 
6. With a proud chest reach the top, lower slow. 
7. Repeat. 

CUES
- Show the Armpits
- Shoulder Blade Retraction & Depression
- Proud Chest

Assisted Pull Ups

12 Min AMRAP

Add a pause at the bottom of the pull-down.

GOAL
Thicker back & improved posture 

1. Grab the close grip bar.
2. Begin by squeezing your shoulder blades back.
3. Slightly lean back. 
4. Pull down the attachment with a proud chest and elbows squeezing down towards the hips. 
5. Keep a proud chest and squeeze at the bottom. Do not round your shoulder blades and pull with your arms.
6. Release slowly and repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Initiate with Shoulder Blades

Close Grip Pulldown

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

Wood Chop

Pause Form

GOAL
The holy grail of rowing. It focuses on scapula retraction and spinal extension #BangForYourBuck

DETAILS

1. With the opposing knee and hand resting on a bench, let the dumbbell fall directly below that boulder shoulder of yours. 
2. Stiffen/extend your spine. Rounding of the spine inhibits proper shoulder blade retraction/depression.
3. Square up your shoulders.
4. Initiate the first inch of the movement by squeezing/depressing your armpit. Think of "crunching" your armpit to your hip. 
4. Pull elbow to hip, think like you're starting a lawnmower like the little badass you are.
4.When pulling, keep the right triangle bend in your elbow. 

Pro-Tip: Dumbbell moves in an arc or "C" shape from below shoulder to front of hip.

CUES
- Initiate with Scapula 
- Chest is Squared Up
- Flat Back

Dumbbell Lat Row

GOAL
Hollow rock position for the ultimate wash board abs

DETAILS 
1. Begin on knees in hip width position. 
2. Tuck your pelvis and crunch your belly button in. 
3. Retract shoulder blades. 
4. Begin by rolling out slowly, maintaining the hollow rock position in your trunk. 
5. Keep crunch, squeeze glutes + back tight. 
6. Go to fullest extent where you keep your hollow rock and lower back rounded. 
7. Return by crunching the abs in and pushing away from the ground. 

CUES
- Hollow Rock
- Tuck Pelvis 
- Depress Shoulder Blades

Ab Wheelout

3x10

GOAL
This is the flour to the cupcake, the butter to the donut, the sole to your Nikes, the string to your Yo-Yo, the milk to your cereal. Best introduction to rowing/learning to squeeze the shit out of your back.

DETAILS
1. Start with on a Smith Machine or TRX cables set at around chest height, lower if you're a lil badass. 
2. Walk your feet in front of the bar while holding onto the bar. Woooo feels like your going to fall back on your ass but since your upper body is rock solid, you gucci. 
3. Initiate by squeezing back with the shoulder blades.
4. Pull just below your sports bra, and keep the right triangle in your elbow. If any of that dish is off, you probably have to lower that bar or walk your feet in. 

CUES

- Squeeze Back With Shoulder Blades
- Chest up
- Flat Back
- Tuck the Ribs
- Don't Sag
- Plank Position

Overhand Inverted Rows

1. Wrap hands and wear 14-16 oz gloves.
2. Work through combos depending on experience level.
3. Do 10 repeats of a 1.
4. Then 10 of a 2.
5. Then 10 of a 1-2.
6. Then 10 of a 1-1-2.
7. Repeating and progressing as your experience increases.
8. Use your footwork and head movement to simulate dodging punches.
9. Work on hip connection to bag, neutral wrist, speed, and power.

Great workout unfortunately I couldn't do the spider curls because the benches of my gym are really high and it's uncomfortable. So I just did regular curls.
