GOAL
Lower ab shredder - lift with the abs, not the hips 

DETAILS
1. Lay with your legs straight up, point your toes like a ballerina and glue your lower back to the floor.
2. Keeping your arms straight by your sides, or under your hips, slowly lower your legs to the floor until your lower back begins to arch. 
3. Mind muscle connect to your abs and crunch your abs to return to the starting position.

CUES
- Hollow Rock 
- Crunch Abs into Spine

Lying Leg Lifts

GOAL
Overload the chest with an extra stretch and weight 

DETAILS
1. Place hands on a couple of weight plates.
2. Add a weight plate to your back or do bodyweight.
3. Begin in the bottom of you push up.
4. Tighten up your body, squeeze your butt and crunch your abs.
5. Press up in one motion. 
6. Exhale and return to the ground to rest your chest. Repeat. 
 Note: If this is too difficult, do bodyweight worm push ups on the deficit.

CUES
- Squeeze Butt
- Strong Press
- Exhale 
- Externally Rotate  
- Neck in Line with Spine

Deficit Weighted Push Up

Start Up

GOAL 
Tighten your lower chest for confident posture
 
DETAILS 
1. Secure your legs at the end of the decline bench and slowly lay down on the bench.
2. Using a medium width grip, lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. The arms should be perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position. Tip: In order to protect your rotator cuff, it is best if you have a spotter help you lift the barbell off the rack.
3. As you breathe in, come down slowly until you feel the bar on your lower chest.
4. After a second pause, bring the bar back to the starting position as you breathe out and push the bar using your chest muscles. Lock your arms and squeeze your chest in the contracted position, hold for a second and then start coming down slowly again. Tip: It should take at least twice as long to go down than to come up). 
 CUES
- Proud Chest
- Right Triangle

Decline Barbell Bench Press

GOAL
You're only as good as your weakest arm. Unilateral pressing to develop strong pecs, shoulders, and triceps 

DETAILS
1. Start sitting upright on a bench. Dumbbell on each knee with a 90 degree elbow.
2. Use your knee to hike the weights up to your chest height as you lay back on the bench. 
3. Immediately press out of the first rep, that may be the trickiest part.
4. Elbows are 45 degrees angle your body and you got that right triangle in yo elbow. 
5. Control the weight as it descends. Lower elbows to parallel or just below for happy shoulders and strength building.
6. As you're pressing up, squeeze the chest.  
7. Wrist is directly over elbow. And wrist is neutral. 

CUES
- Heels Grounded
- Elbows Just to Parallel
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Wrists Neutral

Dumbbell Bench Press

GOAL
Chest shredder 

DETAILS 
1. Set chair height relatively high to keep shoulders in line with shoulders. 
2. Begin by bringing the handles together. 
3. Squeeze palms together. Hold. Squeeze chest. 
4. Depress shoulder blades. 
5. Slowly open arms, keeping tension in chest.
6. Open halfway and return to palms together. 
7. Repeat and as you get more comfortable, you can open your arms more. 

CUES 
- Proud Chest 
- Depress Shoulder Blades 
- Slow Open

Pec Dec

GOAL
Build up your pressing strength through proper positioning and high volume

DETAILS
1. Set hands right outside of shoulders on the dumbbell rack, couch or bench. 
2. Get in a tight plank position. No sagging your stomach or arching your lower back excessively.
2. Feet together, butt squeezed, ribs tucked and as you descend down into the push up squeeze your shoulder blades back. 
3. At the top of the rep, push away with your shoulder blades to get more movement in your serratus/scapula. 

Pro-Tip: #1 mistake is your elbow position. If your elbows track out, that's a no no. If you lose the Right Triangle in your elbow that's a no no. 

If that happens, it's because you're pressing "too high." Step closer to the bar or bench and touch the bar to below your sports bra with the elbows close to your rib cage. 

CUES
- Plank Position
- Squeeze the Shoulder Blades Back
- Right Triangle
- Bar/Bench Below Nips

Incline Push Ups

GOAL
Squeeze from the chest for better isolation and pump 

DETAILS 
1. Set cable handles at shoulder height. 
2. Hinge over and stiffen the back. 
3. Begin by squeezing the handles together and feeling tension in your chest. 
4. Slowly open the arc and squeeze your chest to bring the handles back together. 
5. Try to keep the shoulder blades pinned together and externally rotate your shoulders. 

Aka proud chest and show the armpits.
