Whew! Epic chest day. 

Dropset the Hammer Press & DB Bench on the last set. 

Note: if works are too long, cut the sets From 4-5 to 2-3.

GOAL 
Love this - chest is the best for confident posture and proud chest 

DETAILS 
1. Retract shoulder blades and externally rotate your shoulders.
2. Proud chest. Squeeze from your chest to press. 
3. Slowly lower.
4. Pause at bottom. 
5. Repeat. 
 CUES

Hammer Grip Incline Bench Press

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

DETAILS
1. Start sitting upright on a bench. Dumbbell on each knee with a 90 degree elbow.
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. 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. 

CUES
- Heels Grounded
- Elbows Just to Parallel
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Wrists Neutral

Dumbbell Bench Press

GOAL
Isolate the chest for confident posture and a striated chest

DETAILS
1. Set cables to shoulder height.
2. Begin by taking a lunge stance. 
3. Proud chest, slightly bend elbows, and externally rotate your shoulders.
4. Start with handles touching together and squeeze your chest as hard as possible. 
5. Slowly release and lower back. Keeping elbows slightly bent and the tension in the chest.
6. Squeeze the handles back together. 
7. Don’t overpower with your shoulders. Aka don’t shrug. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Sternum Up
- Externally Rotate
- Squeeze from Your Chest

Cable Chest Flys

Shoulder burner. Go heavier on the bent arm lateral raise then drop weight for straighter arm lateral raises.

GOAL
Burn em brah. This is the optimal exercise for building rounder shoulders to trick people into thinking you have a tinier waist and just to look shredded

DETAILS
1 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.
2. Elbows are bent at 90 degrees  you're initiating the movement with your shoulders.
3. Proud chest and lower slowly. 

Pro-Tip: use momentum to overload our the muscle with a little heavier weight 

CUES
- Retract Shoulder Blades
- Elevated Sternum 
- Reach Away

Bent Arm Lateral Raise

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

Dumbbell Lateral Raises

GOAL
Isolate the front deltoid and build those babies to have density to create a rounded, sculpted look 

DETAILS

1. Start with the dumbbells at the hip and raise to eye level. 
2. Keep shoulder blades retracted with a proud chest. 
3. Slow and controlled. Really think about flexing the shoulder and not overpowering with the pec or trap. #Contract

Pro-Tip: I recommend doing single arm raises in an alternating fashion. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Don't Shrug Up
- Breathe
- Grunt

Alternating Underhand Dumbbell Front Raise

Superset

1. Wrap your hands and wear 14-16 oz boxing gloves. 
2. Freestyle box on a heavy bag.
3. Use your footwork and head movement to simulate dodging punches.
4. Work on hip connection to bag, neutral wrist, and speed.

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
