Great pump. Use lifting straps if you have them. 

Seal row:
3 sets regular grip, last 3 sets are wide grip aka elbows out.

GOAL
Wanna look like Wonder Woman with a wide back down to a small, tapered waist? Pull down more. 

DETAILS
1. Get your sternum facing up towards the ceiling #GirlsGoneToTheGym
2. Grip the bar wide, whatever that means for your arm length. 
3. BEGIN the rep with shoulder blade retraction. 
4. Externally rotate aka show your arm pits.
5. Exhale and pull bar to just below your chest. 
6. When pulling, your elbows should be slightly behind the bar/your spine. 
7. Release and control the negative. Repeat. 
Pro- Tip: As you pull down squeeze those armpits. Also don't let elbows go in front of the bar. 

Why do elbows have so much to do with this shit? Because proper elbow mechanics = proper scapula mechanics. Also, breathe. Exhale on pull, inhale at top. 

CUES
- Pull with the Elbows
- Show the Armpits
- Squeeze the Pits
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Proud Chest

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown

GOAL
Thicker back & improved posture 

1. Grab the pull-down bar with the palms facing your torso (a supinated grip). Make sure that the hands are placed closer than the shoulder width.
2. As you have both arms extended in front of you holding the bar at the chosen grip width, bring your torso back around 30 degrees or so while creating a curvature on your lower back and sticking your chest out. This is your starting position.
3. As you breathe out, pull the bar down until it touches your upper chest by drawing the shoulders and the upper arms down and back. Tip: Concentrate on squeezing the back muscles once you reach the fully contracted position and keep the elbows close to your body. 
4. After a second on the contracted position, while breathing in, slowly bring the bar back to the starting position when your arms are fully extended and the lats are fully stretched.
5. Repeat this motion for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Initiate with Shoulder Blades

Underhand Lat Pulldown

GOAL 
Upper back demolition without any lower back stress

DETAILS
1. Set bench to 45 degree incline. 
2. Waddle over it with two DBs.
3. Slightly retract your shoulder blades. Begin the rep by squeezing back with your shoulder blades.
4. Squeeze the elbows back towards your belly button and pull your chest up to nearly upright.
5. Stop once your elbow is bent at 90 degrees and at your ribs, then slowly lower the dumbbell back.
6. Try to squeeze your shoulder blades at the top of each row.

CUES - Proud Chest
- Elbows to Belly Button 
- Initiate with Shoulder Blades

Seal Rows

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

GOAL
Calorie burner 

DETAILS
1. Either run on a hill, outside or on the treadmill.
2. Work on figure 4 form.
3. 90-degree bend in elbows.
4. Land on the balls of your feet. 
5. Avoid heel striking.

CUES
- Hand Goes from Face Cheek to Butt Cheek
- Pull the Heel to Butt
- Hamstring Curl Not Quad Extension

Sprints (8 incline, 6-8 speed)

GOAL
Lower back health which is key to life, lifting, good sex, and getting old #ExtensionsForLifeExtension

DETAILS
1. Hinge at the hip and give everyone that million dollar view they don't deserve. 
2. Hang all the way down and initiate the movement by squeezing your glutes.
3. Squeeze your butt and hamstring and raise to be in line with your legs.
4. Hold for a second at the top and slowly lower all the way down. Repeat. 
5. Drop the weight and burn out with bodyweight. 

Pro-Tip: If you walk into the gym and your back hurts, hang off the end of this and wiggle that spine #SideToSide. Hang at the bottom and warm up by just extending a few inches up then coming back down to a relaxed position. Do a set of 30 and feel those lower lumbar say "hayyyy gurrrrl." 

CUES
- Squeeze Yo Ass
- Hinge At the Hip
- Tuck Your Ribs

It was great. Having the video guides makes a huge difference

Back / Upper Body Pull 👊

Back Builder ⛰

One exercise was repeated through this sequence. Overall makes the exercise way too repetitive and boring. Didn’t feel the back burn I was looking for.

Fucking love your workouts 
It’s muscle paradise

Maybe it’s just me dealing with a crowded gym all the time. But I love doing supersets. But only if it’s on the same machine. Or it’s a machine and a dumbbell. If it’s 2 different machines, it’s hard to hold it down

Back Blast 😝

First workout DONE! Thankyou! Videos + explanations are great 😃💪🏻

Redgie

If the gym don’t have that certain equipment what alternative we could replace it with.

Dannelle

Definitely made me feel something I haven’t in a while. And I was surprised by how much I could do given I haven’t worked our consistently in a while

Back Day (upper back thickness) 😎

Found it a bit tricky to get my form right for the superset but will practice it until I get it right. Killer back workout 😎🤙🏽
