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
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

GOAL
Lower back, ab and hamstring dominator 

DETAILS
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
2. Holding two dumbbells by your sides, bend at the hips, keeping your knees soft and feet planted on the floor.
3. With arms straight, reach toward the space between your feet as far as you feel comfortable without rounding through your lower back or losing the feeling of having your feet planted into the floor.
4. To stand, press the floor away.

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Reach Hips Back
- Brace Abs

Dumbbell Stiff Leg Deadlifts

Warm up

GOAL
Pump those legs with a compound move

DETAILS
1. Feet under hips
2. Show that chest off with your chest up and ribs tucked
3. Knees slightly out. 
4. Squat with weight in heels. Feels like a mix between a deadlift and squat
5. Lower until weights touch the ground if you have big enough plates. If not, go mid shin. 

Pro tip: Don't stand up fully at the top so you keep constant tension on your quad.

CUES
- Up, Down
- Breathe
- Knees Push Slightly Out
- Weight on Heels
- Flat Back

Trap Bar Deadlift

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

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

Beefy work

These are pretty quick reps with light weight. Go for a pump.

GOAL 
Upper back demolition without any lower back stress

DETAILS
1. On the edge of a bench or couch, have dumbbells in each hand.
2. Scoot to the edge of the seat, lower chest towards knees, let weight rest underneath knees.
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

Seated Bent Over Rows

GOAL 
Build boulder shoulders and that v-taper

DETAILS
1. Lock in dumbbells overhead on an incline bench. 
2. Be sure to keep full control of the dumbbells at all times. Then breathe out and push the dumbbells up with your shoulders.
3. Lock your arms at the top, hold for a second, and then start slowly lowering the weight. Lowering the weights should take about twice as long as raising them.
4. Proud chest and control the movement.

Strengthen your leg drive with minimal spinal fading 

DETAILS

2. Begin by pinning your shoulder blades into the pad, getting a proud chest, and setting your feet.
3. Un-rack the weight and lower slowly.
4. Keep the knees driving out slightly. Don't look like Bambi just coming out of the womb.
5. At the bottom, only go low enough where your lower back is still against the back pad.
6. Drive from heels to extend legs and don't lock out the knees fully at the top. We ain't tryna blow a knee.

Awesome pump! Could use with a little bit more detail on posture when it comes to cable crunches, not sure if I was doing it right!

Arm Demolition

I usually have a hard time connecting mind to body with chest exercises however I noticed it was way easier during this set. The extra tips for form help a ton!!!
