my bench press was so low today, but getting back 💪🏼

The app has a whole new look + feel 😈

Remember — proud chest + right triangle on these. Get after it.

GOAL
Build + sculpt those shoulders

DETAILS 
1. Stand tall, squeeze butt, tuck ribs. 
2. Lateral raise up from shoulders, don’t shrug. 
3. Adduct weights in, moving from the shoulders. Try to protract slightly aka a rounding the shoulders. 
4. Abduct the weight out. 
5. If you’re shrugging thru the movement, lighten the weight. 
6. Go back to the beginning. 

CUES
- Protract Shoulder
- Arms Slightly Bent
- Slow + Controlled

Dumbbell Square Raises

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
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. I like to use a lil momentum to achieve heavier weights. Just be sure to squeeze + hit a strong top position. 

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

Seated Dumbbell Lateral Raises

Burn em

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 on ground or bench.
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, pause 1 sec & drive up to finish the rep.
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.

Pause Bench 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

Leaning Tower of Pizzaaa

Swap dip machine for bench dips if needed.

GOAL
Build a defined, started upper chest and shoulder to look stronger, more defined with confident posture 

1. Pick appropriate weight.
2. Lean chest forward and retract shoulder blades. 
3. Brace body and extend from the chest. 
4. Try to maintain the right Triangle throughout the movement and exhale on the press. 
5. Keep chest forward the whole time. 

CUES

Dip Machine

GOAL 
Amazing, just amazing. Great way to overload the triceps, chest and shoulders while getting a lot of volume 

DETAILS 
1. Stand facing a Smith machine bar or sturdy elevated platform at an appropriate height. 
2. Place your hands next to one another on the bar.
3. Position your feet back from the bar with arms and body straight. This will be your starting position.
4. Keeping your body straight, lower your chest to the bar by bending the arms.
5. Return to the starting position by extending the elbows, pressing yourself back up.

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.
