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

Dumbbell Supine Curls

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

Not sure if the app will calculate it right.

GOAL
Isolate the elbows and avoid shoulder movement for better biceps 

DETAILS
1. Lay on an incline bench. 
2. Extend arms and grab the bar. 
3. Begin by pushing your elbows forward.
4. Squeeze from the bicep while keeping the elbow directly below or slightly in front of the shoulder.
5. Lower slowly, pushing the elbow forward as you go down. 

CUES
- Elbow Forward
- Squeeze From Bicep

EZ-Bar Spider Curl

Bicep builder that develops size and strength 

DETAILS

4. Lower slow by actively pushing your elbow forward.
5. Repeat on the other side.
 CUES

Alternating Hammer Curls

GOAL
Load your elbow and triceps to increase your lockout strength #ElbowStrength

DETAILS

1. Lay flat on a bench, with a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Keep your palms facing each other and bend at the elbows so the dumbbells go toward your head, keeping your hands far enough apart that the dumbbells go to your ears.
3. Wrists are neutral and not getting broken by the weight.
4. You can either finish the rep fully or keep the elbow slightly bent and cycle back into the next rep. They both have their benefit. 

Note: you can do this on the floor if you don’t have a bench. 

CUES
- Elbows by Chin
- DB Comes to Forehead
- Wrists Neutral
- Be a Badass Cuz Most Guys Don't Even Do These

Across the Chest Single Arm Tricep Extension

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

1. Lie down on a decline bench with your legs fully extended and arms to the side of your torso with the palms on the floor. Your arms should be stationary for the entire exercise.
2. Move your legs up so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor and feet are together. 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.

CUES
- Crunch Abs into Belly Button 
- Knees Up to Ceiling

Decline Reverse Crunch

GOAL 
Full stretch of abs with a mind muscle connection to your 6-pack

DETAILS
1. Lay with your back on a physioball. 
2. Walk back to hang off the ball more.
3. Fully stretch your abdominals and mind muscle connect to your abs.
4. Sit up towards the ceiling, not just forward.
5. Exhale on the contraction.
6. Slowly lower to fully stretch. Repeat.

CUES
- Hollow Rock
- Crunch Abs into Spine 
- Sit Up Not Just Forward

Sit Ups on Ball

1. Wrap your hands and wear 14-16 oz boxing gloves.
