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

Worm Push Ups

GOAL
Wanna do dips but bodyweight is too hard? Here’s the solution. So so good. 

1. Lower a dip bar so the bar is below your rib cage. 
2. Set a position where your feet are on the ground. Use box if needed. 
3. Get deep in the bottom position with right triangle elbow, shoulders back and down + chest forward. 
4. Use your legs to push up and stay learning forward to squeeze chest. 
5. Squeeze at top, hold your bodyweight and lower slowly. 
6. Reset deep in bottom position with feet on ground. Repeat. 

CUES
- Lean Chest Forward
- Right Triangle 
- Retract Shoulder Blades

Jumping Dips

Warm Up

GOAL
Dumbbell press with rotation 

1. With back on bench, get a proud chest and lock in the dumbbells with elbows at 45 degrees from your body.
2. With an underhand position, begin to press the dumbbells overhead while rotating your shoulders internally. 
3. After a second pause at the top, begin to lower the dumbbells to the original position by rotating the palms of your hands towards you. 
4. Lower slow, pause and press to repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Strong Press 
- Slow Negative

Incline Bench Arnold Press

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

Push it

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. 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
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Wrists Neutral

Alternating Dumbbell Bench Press

GOAL
Strong scapular function and upper back

DETAILS
1. Stand tall with a dumbbell on each hand (palms facing your torso), arms extended on the sides.
2. Lift the dumbbells by elevating the shoulders as high as possible while you exhale. Hold the contraction at the top for a second. Tip: The arms should remain extended at all times. Refrain from using the biceps to help lift the dumbbells. Only the shoulders should be moving up and down.
3. Lower the dumbbells back to the original position.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES - Squeeze Shoulders up to Ears
- Mind Muscle Connect

Dumbbell Shrugs

Mass Builder

GOAL
Lower ab and 6-pack developer.

DETAILS
1. Lay with your legs straight out in front of you.
2. As you raise your legs, reach your fingers toward the ceiling to pull your upper body off the floor.
3. Slowly lower yourself back and try not to use momentum.

CUES
- Crunch Belly Button into Spine
- Point Toes 
- Exhale on the Up

V-Ups

GOAL
6-pack body weight edition, just make sure to crunch your abs and not sit up with your neck #ProTips

DETAILS
1. Lay on your back with your knees bent.
2. Begin my crunching your abs into your spine with your wrists dragging up your quads.
3. Crunch up to raise your wrists up to the knees.
4. Move slow and work from the abs not momentum.

CUES
- Ribs to Hips
- Squeeze

Wrist to Knees

GOAL
Rotational abs for those V-lines

DETAILS
1. Get in a perfect plank position aka feet together, crunch belly button in, squeeze butt with elbows under shoulders. 
2. Begin by dropping the hip to one side maintaining the perfect plank position. 
3. Don’t arch your lower back, instead round it by crunching your abs. 
4. Exhale on the down and repeat side to side. 

CUES
- Crunch Belly Button
