GOAL

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.

Cobra Cable Crossover

GOAL
There are more modifications to this than there are girls on your phone. There's no "one way" to curl, just some key principles. Get some blood flow to your biceps #CurlsForTheGirls

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with your dumbbell supine aka palm is facing up towards the ceiling. 
2. Fully stretched out like a kitten in the sun, begin curling one arm by contracting the bicep. 
3. Bring the dumbbell just above elbow height and return to a fully stretched position. Hand can turn in at the bottom if pressure on the elbow is uncomfortable.  

Pro-Tip: Watch that your shoulder doesn't lift the weight. If you start raising your elbows forward and away from your rib cage, that is a sign your shoulder is being a controlling bitch. Instead, isolate that bicep. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Don't Front Raise the Weights
- Initiate from Bicep not Shoulder
- Squeeze
- Full Stretch

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!!!
