Single Arm Lat Pulldown

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

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
Wanna look like Wonder Woman with a wide back down to a small, tapered waist? Pull down more. 

DETAILS
1. Get your sternum facing up towards the ceiling #GirlsGoneToTheGym
2. Grip the bar wide, whatever that means for your arm length. 
3. BEGIN the rep with shoulder blade retraction. 
4. Externally rotate aka show your arm pits.
5. Exhale and pull bar to just below your chest. 
6. When pulling, your elbows should be slightly behind the bar/your spine. 
7. Release and control the negative. Repeat. 
Pro- Tip: As you pull down squeeze those armpits. Also don't let elbows go in front of the bar. 

Why do elbows have so much to do with this shit? Because proper elbow mechanics = proper scapula mechanics. Also, breathe. Exhale on pull, inhale at top. 

CUES
- Pull with the Elbows
- Show the Armpits
- Squeeze the Pits
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Proud Chest

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown

GOAL
Thicker back & improved posture 

1. Grab the pull-down bar with the palms facing your torso (a supinated grip). Make sure that the hands are placed closer than the shoulder width.
2. As you have both arms extended in front of you holding the bar at the chosen grip width, bring your torso back around 30 degrees or so while creating a curvature on your lower back and sticking your chest out. This is your starting position.
3. As you breathe out, pull the bar down until it touches your upper chest by drawing the shoulders and the upper arms down and back. Tip: Concentrate on squeezing the back muscles once you reach the fully contracted position and keep the elbows close to your body. 
4. After a second on the contracted position, while breathing in, slowly bring the bar back to the starting position when your arms are fully extended and the lats are fully stretched.
5. Repeat this motion for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Initiate with Shoulder Blades
