This one is tough! You’ll likely hit failure around 15 reps on the skull crushers. Just push it and go for a heavy 10 on the hammer curls and over rope extension.

GOAL
Focus on targeting that brachialis to contribute to arm thickness more so than just your biceps #SecretSauce

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with a neutral/hammer grip and fully stretched arm. 
2. Elbow should be slightly in front of your hip, putting more stress on the bicep. 
3. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

Pro-Tip: Elbows don't flale, chest isn't overly activated, and you aren't rotating the weight at all. Straight up, straight down. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Relax the Chest
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
- Squeeze at the Top

Hammer Curls

GOAL
Concentrate those biceps to ultimate AK-47 status #CODlife

DETAILS
1. With an EZ curl bar in hands with hands just outside shoulder width, stand tall. 
2. Chest is upright. Begin by squeezing from biceps. 
3. Curl to just above 90 degrees. Squeeze. Then fully extend your arms.
4. Think of arcing away from you vs straight up. 

Pro-Tip: Don't ego lift this one. 

CUES
- Kegel Yo Biceps
- Shoulders Back
- Full Stretch

EZ Bar Curl

GOAL
Extreme resistance to build those triceps

5. Flex wrists out. 
6. Exhale and keep a proud chest. 

Pro tip: go light until you feel slow and controlled reps.

CUES

- Elbows Close

Overhead rope extension

GOAL
Tricep sculptor…just keep those elbows in place 

DETAILS

3. Begin to curl the weight up, only hinging at the elbow.
4. Use your spidey focus to keep the elbow directly below the shoulder and not letting that fucker creep back. Don't shorten the range by pushing the elbow back behind your shoulder. 
5. Now squeeze that ish.

Beware: Beware of web-like material squirting out of your wrists after these curls. So worth it.

One of my favorite lower ab exercises - use that mind muscle connection to tuck your pelvis and contract the lower abs

2. Move your legs up so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor and feet are together and parallel to the floor. This is the starting position.
3. While inhaling, move your legs towards the torso as you roll your pelvis backwards and you raise your hips off the floor. 
4. Hold the contraction for a second and move your legs back to the starting position while exhaling.

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.
