GOAL
Focus on targeting that brachialis to contribute to arm thickness more so than just your biceps #SecretSauce

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with a neutral/hammer grip and fully stretched arm. 
2. Elbow should be slightly in front of your hip, putting more stress on the bicep. 
3. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

Pro-Tip: Elbows don't flale, chest isn't overly activated, and you aren't rotating the weight at all. Straight up, straight down. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Relax the Chest
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
- Squeeze at the Top

Rope Curls

GOAL
Extreme resistance to build those triceps

2. Grab a rope overhead. 
3. Keep elbows close to head. 
4. Extend up by squeezing your triceps. 
5. Flex wrists out. 
6. Exhale and keep a proud chest. 

Pro tip: go light until you feel slow and controlled reps.

EZ Bar Skull Crushers

GOAL 
Build some killer obliques with this one. These can help with the "V" that everyone is obsessed with, but can also add a little width to your sides so find the balance you want.

DETAILS
1. Feet are shoulder width apart, posture is perfect and upright. Butt n gut squeezed. 
2. With a dumbbell in one hand. Bend to that side. Pretend you're a lil organic, frosted pastry in a toaster. Don't bend back or forward because your golden skin will get burned. 
3. As you're bending to the side, don't push the hips to the side either. Everything is stationary, just the torso is compressed. You are not wiggling those hips. 
4. Return to starting position and repeat each side.

CUES
- Squeeze Ass
- Don't Get Burned
- Hips In Place
- Posture is Upright AF
- Ribs Tucked

Side Bends

Bulk Builder

GOAL
This move will elevate every shirt you own. Making those arms irresistible to every human with eyes.

3. Actively curl the weight across the chest, keeping the Right Triangle in your elbow. 
4. Think to push the weight back down with your tricep.
5. Repeat. Each rep squeeze that bicep like you're making lemonade. 

CUES
- Elbow Pinned to Rib
- Squeeze That Lemon
- Control Descent
- Wrist Neutral

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

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.

- Chest is Pointing Up Towards the Bar

Chin Up

GOAL 
Full stretch of abs with a mind muscle connection to your 6-pack

3. Thumbs face away from the body, shoulders are relaxed, and chin is neutral.
4. Hop low and quickly on your toes will whipping the rope with your wrists. 
5. Let the rope rotate around your body and jump as the wrists slap down.

Pro-Tip: The more relaxed you are, the longer you can keep your natural rhythm.
Pro-Tip II: Drop the rope. Jump low and fast and slap your hands on the front of your thighs. Double tap them to practice double unders. This simulates the timing and coronation needed to jump rope. After warming up with this, carry the same rhythm but just add the rope. 

CUES
- Hips In Place
- Posture is Upright AF
-Ribs Tucked

Jump Rope

Athletic advantage, injury prevention and oblique shredder

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.
