Loved this shoulder pump. Finally focusing on my grip and form and it’s making my muscle contractions go from 8/10 to 10/10 👌🏼

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

GOAL
Sculpt those pumpkin deltoids at a more intense angle 

DETAILS
1. Set a bench a couple spots below upright. 
2. Grab LIGHT dumbbells, either 2.5 - 12lbs. 
3. Raise out and forward with palms down. 
4. Go slowly and think squeeze. 

Pro-tip: go light + don’t shrug

Front Raise on Bench

Pump

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
Lateral shoulders with better angle 

DETAILS

2. Pick 5-10lbs, lean and grab the pole. 
3. Depress shoulder blades and relax. 
4. Squeeze shoulder to lift handle to shoulder height.
5. Lower slowly. 
6. Repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Retract & Depress Shoulder Blades

Leaning Cable 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

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

Dumbbell Upright Row

The Weekly Shoulder Builder

GOAL
Get the volume of push ups without strict form while taxing the abs and shoulders

1. Lay stomach down on the floor. 
2. Position hands in push up position.
3. Retract shoulder blades and externally rotate.
4. Press up into a plank position by pressing the upper body up first, then following with the lower body.
5. Finish in a perfect plank position by squeezing your butt, feet together and crunching the abs.
6. Slowly lower to the starting position. 
7. Repeat as needed. It’s a bit of a ‘worm’ movement.
 CUES
- Proud Chest
- Right Triangle 
- Exhale on the Press

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
