First day done, on to two! You may be sore, but it'll be worth it. Make sure you keep your chest proud through the pull workouts, and no swinging on the biceps.

On the seal rows, start with two warm up sets at 10 reps. Then aim for 12-15 reps at 100% effort. For example, 15lbs at 10 reps. 20lbs at 10 reps. Then 25lbs for 14 reps.

4. Second, drive down into a squat with a follow from your arms.

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.

Cobra Cable Crossover

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

3. Turn dumbbell at top of movement. 
4. Lower slowly. Pushing the elbow forward. 
5. Slow and controlled. 

CUES
- Elbow Forward
- Shoulders Back
- Squeeze Bicep

Dumbbell Zottman Curl

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

Hammer Curls

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

Beach Bod 👀

GOAL
There are more modifications to this than there are girls on your phone. There's no "one way" to curl, just some key principles. Get some blood flow to your biceps #CurlsForTheGirls

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with your dumbbell supine aka palm is facing up towards the ceiling. 
2. Fully stretched out like a kitten in the sun, begin curling one arm by contracting the bicep. 
3. Bring the dumbbell just above elbow height and return to a fully stretched position. Hand can turn in at the bottom if pressure on the elbow is uncomfortable.  

Pro-Tip: Watch that your shoulder doesn't lift the weight. If you start raising your elbows forward and away from your rib cage, that is a sign your shoulder is being a controlling bitch. Instead, isolate that bicep. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Don't Front Raise the Weights
- Initiate from Bicep not Shoulder
- Squeeze
- Full Stretch

Dumbbell Supine Curls

GOAL
That lat squeeze for a v-taper look

2. Depress your shoulder blades to flex your lat. Do this by squeezing your armpit to your hip. 
3. Pull elbow to your hip. 
4. Squeeze your lat, return weight. 
5. Alternate each side. 

Reps are total. 

CUES
- Flat Back
- Depress Shoulder Blades
- Squeeze Armpit

Finish Strong

W1/D2 Back Attack 🧨

Branching out with your programs. On the recovery from an ACL surgery last May. Was in tip top shape with your Fighter program prior to injury.  Put on 30 pounds while down. I’m an avid cyclist. Never been over 130-135. Sitting at a nice 163 now, trimming inches. Feels good. The number doesn’t matter anymore. Seeing progress. Any tips are appreciated.

I’m so excited to get started! Right program, right time. I need this!

W4/D5 Mental Toughness Friday 4

Great work out. Still frustrated trying to find a good alternative to match a ski erg machine. Even at 2 gyms I go to don’t have them. Unless I pay to go to a specialty gym or a CrossFit one. Either way, love the combination of movements. Struggled a little in the medicine ball and work.

That last set was rough. Harder than mental fitness Friday last week.

Amber Lawrence
