Loooove hitting chest lately. Threw 45# DBs on bench for 8 today like it was nothing 💪🏼

Mads

Niku

Loved that one. Heavy sets of 3. Perfect. Feeling that pump.

Nicole

Try to go heavy for each set of 8. Do a warm up or 2 sets before. Focus on slow tempo down and a proud chest. You got this 😈

DETAILS
1. Retract your shoulder blades down into the bench and back towards your hips. Barbell can be used for leverage to get into this position. Think of trying to get your shoulders and hips to touch each other.
2. Legs are in a squat stance with your heels firmly planted on the ground. Squeeze the ass a little.
3. Grab the bar with the desired width and wrists neutral. 
4. Big breath and unrack the barbell.
5. Bring the barbell over your nips. 
6. Externally rotate and try to break the bar with your hands to activate your lats.
7. Lower the bar to below your sports bra. This is a very important position you have to nail.
8. Bar is BELOW your sports bra, and your elbows are tightly screwed in at a 45 degree angle.
9. With the bar touching your chest, drive up to finish the rep. Pause is optional.
10. Drive straight up or slightly back towards the rack, whichever feels stronger and more natural. 
11. Finish the rep with straight arms, with shoulder blades still retracted.

Barbell Bench Press

GOAL
Dumbbell press with rotation 

1. With back on bench, get a proud chest and lock in the dumbbells with elbows at 45 degrees from your body.
2. With an underhand position, begin to press the dumbbells overhead while rotating your shoulders internally. 
3. After a second pause at the top, begin to lower the dumbbells to the original position by rotating the palms of your hands towards you. 
4. Lower slow, pause and press to repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Strong Press 
- Slow Negative

Incline Bench Arnold Press

GOAL
Shoulder stability + builder 

DETAILS 
1. Sit, shoulders back, proud chest. 
2. Elbows slightly in front of body, squeeze shoulder blades.
3. Press up. 
4. SLOW the way down. Control and make a 90 degree angle. 
5. Press again. 

Pro-tip: keep forearms vertical. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Look Up
- Slow + Controlled

Dumbbell Shoulder Press

GOAL
Lateral shoulders with better angle 

DETAILS
1. Set up a low cable with handle. 
2. Pick 5-10lbs, lean and grab the pole. 
3. Depress shoulder blades and relax. 
4. Squeeze shoulder to lift handle to shoulder height.
5. Lower slowly. 
6. Repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Retract & Depress Shoulder Blades

Leaning Cable Lateral Raise

GOAL
Front shoulders with maximum tension 

DETAILS
1. Set up a low cable with handle. 
2. Pick 5-10lbs. 
3. Depress shoulder blades and relax. 
4. Squeeze shoulder to lift handle to shoulder height.
5. Lower slowly. 
6. Repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Retract & Depress Shoulder Blades

Cable Front Raise

Shoulder Builder

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
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).
2. Start at the hip and raise up to the shoulders. The dumbbells should be a few inches in front of your body to move in your scapular plane.
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. 

CUES
- Retract Shoulder Blades
- Elevated Sternum 
- Reach Away 
- Tuck Your Ribs

Dumbbell Lateral Raises (10-12)

Abs and Shoulders

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.

Couldn’t get the best out of the spider curls - it killed me for the last cardio part
