Great! Where there were discrepancies, I followed the directions rather than the video.

Assisted Pull Ups

Assisted Chin Up

GOAL
Wider back for a tighter waist and strong look

DETAILS 
1. You will start by grabbing the wide bar from the top pulley of a pulldown machine and using a wider than shoulder-width pronated (palms down) grip. Step backwards two feet or so.
2. Bend your torso forward at the waist by around 30-degrees with your arms fully extended in front of you and a slight bend at the elbows. If your arms are not fully extended then you need to step a bit more backwards until they are. Once your arms are fully extended and your torso is slightly bent at the waist, tighten the lats and then you are ready to begin.
3. While keeping the arms straight, pull the bar down by contracting the lats until your hands are next to the side of the thighs. Breathe out as you perform this step.
4. While keeping the arms straight, go back to the starting position while breathing in.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Squeeze Armpits

Rope Straight Arm Pushdown

Lifted

Attack that back, use the bench to lift more weight to give the lower back a rest

DETAILS
1. Straddle a bench with a barbell over it.
2. Add necessary weight *using a rack helps* 
3. Straddle bench and squeeze the bench with thighs
4. Hinge over and push your hips back.
5. Flat back, brace abs and begin by pulling the bar to your belly button. 
6. As the weight is heavy, use the bench to rest the bar and reset your position.
7. Squeeze from your shoulder blades each rep.

5. Slowly release and return to starting position. 
6. Drop set into unilateral reps when you’re tired. 

CUES

- Externally Rotate

ISO-Pulldown

GOAL
Rotational abs for those V-lines

DETAILS
1. Get in a perfect plank position aka feet together, crunch belly button in, squeeze butt with elbows under shoulders. 
2. Begin by dropping the hip to one side maintaining the perfect plank position. 
3. Don’t arch your lower back, instead round it by crunching your abs. 
4. Exhale on the down and repeat side to side.

Superset bb

GOAL 
Upper back demolition without any lower back stress

DETAILS
1. Set bench to 45 degree incline. 
2. Waddle over it with two DBs.
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

Seal Rows

GOAL
Scapular depression aka lat work for a wider back and narrow waist 

DETAILS
1. Place a dumbbell standing up on a flat bench.
2. Lie perpendicular to the bench (torso across it as in forming a cross) with only your shoulders lying on the surface.
3. Grasp the dumbbell with both hands and hold it straight over your chest at arms length. Both palms should be pressing against the underside one of the sides of the dumbbell. This will be your starting position, make sure the weight is secure.
4. While keeping your arms straight, lower the weight slowly in an arc behind your head while breathing in until you feel a stretch on the armpit.
5. At that point, bring the dumbbell back to the starting position by depressing your shoulder blades, using the arc through which the weight was lowered and exhale as you perform this movement.
6. Hold the weight on the initial position for a second and repeat the movement. 

CUES
- Initiate with Scapula 
- Squeeze Your Butt
- Slightly Bend Elbows

Dumbbell Pull Overs

Bench Blaster

GOAL
Cardio with retraction and leg drive. Welp, meet the Erg. 

DETAILS
1. Adjust the footpads to your foot size and adjust the damper depending on distance/desired resistance. The higher the number, the higher the resistance, thus the more meters rowed in a stroke.
2. Starting position, aka the catch has arms straight, upper body is leaning forward with shoulders in front of hips, shins are vertical and heels are raised as needed.
3. The drive - start by pressing with your legs. Once your shoulder pass your hips, arm row can finally be added.
4. The finish - Once knees are extended, upper body is leaning back slightly, and then you pull with your arms. 
5. Shoulders remain low and relaxed.
6. Extend your arms fully BEFORE leaning forward at the hips and breaking at the knees.
Pro-Tip: Timing is everything. Don't pull with the arms early on the drive. 

CUES
- Drive with Legs
- Back Neutral
- Extend Legs
- Pull to Belly Button
- Release Arms

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.
