Only made it halfway through due to busy ass gym. Was a really good pump. Walked a mile after this 🔥

Tap into that inner fuel. Align your energy + use your body. You’re capable + connected 💪🏼

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

Row Ergometer

GOAL
Wider back for smaller hips and waist

DETAILS
1. Set resistance. The heavier = the easier. 
2. Arms straight and wide grip. 
3. Externally rotate your shoulder. Think of showing your arm pits.
4. Begin by retracting your shoulder blades back and down.
5. Squeeze the elbows out and think of tucking them into your pockets. 
6. With a proud chest reach the top, lower slow. 
7. Repeat. 

CUES
- Show the Armpits
- Shoulder Blade Retraction & Depression
- Proud Chest

Assisted Pull Ups

Getting Warm

GOAL
Chest supported row to thicken your back and get a back that slaps  

DETAILS
1. Arch that back, get a proud chest, pin those shoulder blades back and down towards your hips aka don't shrug up.
2. Resist the weight as it pulls your upper body forward. Resisting force = actively flexing your muscles = muscle growth.
3. With arms fully stretched, begin the row by squeezing back with the shoulder blades and squeeze at the top for an added flex. 
4. Right triangle elbow.
5. Exhale and resist the negative. Repeat. 

CUES
- Pinch The Penny in Between Shoulder Blades Back 
- Right Triangle
- Resist the Chest Pad
- Neutral Neck

T-Bar Row

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

12 Min AMRAP

GOAL
Compound row with control and lower back builder 

DETAILS 
1. Underhand grip shoulder width. 
2. Slightly bend the knees and stand close to the bar. 
3. Sit hips back and keep the barbell close to your legs. 
4. Hinge over. Stay close to barbell. 
5. Squeeze from your shoulder blades and pull barbell to belly button. 
6. Lower slowly and reset. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Right Triangle 
- Flex Lower Back
- Hips Back

Smith Machine Bent Over Row

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

4x15 🥵

Do incline push ups on the smith machine and add an explosive extension on the end if you can. Aka get an inch of air at the top. Keep the arms extended and stiff.

GOAL
This is the flour to the cupcake, the butter to the donut, the sole to your Nikes, the string to your Yo-Yo, the milk to your cereal. Best introduction to rowing/learning to squeeze the shit out of your back.

DETAILS
1. Start with on a Smith Machine or TRX cables set at around chest height, lower if you're a lil badass. 
2. Walk your feet in front of the bar while holding onto the bar. Woooo feels like your going to fall back on your ass but since your upper body is rock solid, you gucci. 
3. Initiate by squeezing back with the shoulder blades.
4. Pull just below your sports bra, and keep the right triangle in your elbow. If any of that dish is off, you probably have to lower that bar or walk your feet in. 

CUES

- Squeeze Back With Shoulder Blades
- Chest up
- Flat Back
- Tuck the Ribs
- Don't Sag
- Plank Position

Underhand Inverted Row

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

Destroy It

GOAL
Just in case you are hanging from the edge of a cliff and have to heave your cute lil ass up #MissionImpossibleScene1 #Biceps

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep by activating your scapula and raising sternum towards ceiling. That is the start position.
2. Squeeze from biceps to raise.
3. Keep your sternum raised up to the ceiling.
4. Control the negative and repeat.

Pro-Tip: Your lower body can be strict and pointed or you can cross your legs. Play around with it and see what's comfortable. 

CUES
- Squeeze Your Biceps 
- Chest is Pointing Up Towards the Bar

Chin Up

GOAL
Athletic advantage, injury prevention and oblique shredder

DETAILS
1. Set up a cable to the lowest height [note you can also set to shoulder height or above for other angles]. 
2. Grab the end with both arms extended. 
3. Start with shoulders, hips, and feet square/straight forward. 
4. Rotate the torso away from the anchor point, keeping the hips square. 
5. Then, chop that wood by rotating torso towards your hip and slightly towards the ground.
6. Squeeze abs & exhale. Return slowly to start position. Repeat. 

Pro-Tips: Ribs are tucked and you compress/crunch your abs a little. Back foot pivots as you chop. Hips can rotate or stay stationary, whichever gives you a better ab squeeze. 

CUES
- Squeeze Butt
- Rotate Torso
- Tuck Ribs
- Crunch Ribs to Hip Slightly
- Straight Arms Whole Time
