Bent Over Chest Flys

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.

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

Alternating bench press: 5 left arm, 5 right, 5 left, 5 reps right. Set is complete.

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

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. Keep one arm extended. Lower slowly on one side, 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.
8. Alternate arms. 

CUES
- Heels Grounded
-Elbows Just to Parallel

5. Lower slowly by pushing elbows down towards our hips. 
6. Squeeze your triceps to press up 

CUES
- Lower Weights Below Nipple Line
- Elbows Close to Ribs
- Elbows Towards Hips

Hex Press

Pec Shred

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

Seated Dumbbell Lateral Raises

GOAL
Get those front shoulders poppin and striated

DETAILS
1. Seated on the edge of a bench or surface, begin with a proud chest.
2. With an underhand grip, raise one dumbbell at a time. 
3. Think of scooping the weight up and keeping the shoulders retracted slightly.
4. Slowly lower and alternate sides.

CUES - Proud Chest
- Slow & Control

Seated Alternating Underhand Front Raise

GOAL
Get some shape to your upper body and improve your shoulder function 

DETAILS
1. Knees are slightly bent, hand grip can vary but usually right inside the shoulder is optimal. 
2. With the weight at your hips, begin pulling by leading with your elbows. Get the elbows up towards your ears and the weight will follow.
3. Keep the weight close to your body. 
4. As you pull, you can shrug up to target the traps as well. 
Pro-Tip: I prefer not wrapping my thumb around the bar aka less internal rotation.

CUES
- Shrug Up 
- Squeeze Up
- Knees Slightly Bent
- Chest Up

Great pump, great flow as usual coach! I’d greatly appreciate if you could share the number setting of the incline bench for the various movements that require incline. Based on the video for incline smith it looked to be about a “3-4”, I train at blink, their benches are made by Life Fitness. Thanks again for all your work and quality content
