I mix a bit of the gym and home routine based upon my equipment. I’m an experienced lifter and these workouts push me, absolutely love these. I chose this routine because I have a similar and want to maintain a similar build to Morgan. Good luck to everyone doing this program I’m rooting for all of you!

It was kickass! Started the challenge yesterday and happy to have continued today! #TakingItDayByDay 🤘💪

Great workout! 1 question, when you do one arm at a time- do you do both side back to back or when do you switch sides?

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.

GOAL
Increase coordination, flush lymph, strengthen your fast twitch muscle fibers, and increase speed #SoAthletic

DETAILS
1. Feet together.
2. Grab rope with wrists slightly in front of hips.
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

GOAL
No, it doesn't include bae with a cup of coffee and waffles in her hand. But, do these often and they will produce the same amount of happiness #BootyAF

DETAILS
1. Get an upright, proud chest and feet in squat position. 
2.  Slightly bend your knees and push em out a little, aka external rotation to active your glute medius. Nail that setup.
3. Stiffen up your back and brace your abs. Flat back, you know what that is. 
4. PUSH THOSE HIPS BAAACK. Feel the stretch and pressure in the back of your legs. Yep, those are your hammies. Say good morning to them.
5. Hinge at the hip. Depth is dependent on your ability to maintain a flat back. 
6.  Stand and squeeze that azz. 

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
- Brace Abs
- Reach Hips Back
- Squeeze Your Butt

Bodyweight Good Mornings

GOAL 
Boulder upper back and scapular health

DETAILS

4. Keep thumbs out and avoid shrugging.
 CUES
- Depress & Retract Shoulder Blades 
- Thumbs Out
- Slow

Resistance Band Pull Aparts

GOAL
Cardio life, aim for a soft landing. Swap for 1 regular squats with 5 high knees jumping is too much impact per rep. 

DETAILS
1. In squat position, squat with driving the knees out. 
2. Accelerate out of the bottom right of the squat and jump. 
3. Extend knees fully. Squeeze your butt. 
4. Land softly.

Jumping Squats

CNS Warm Up 1 (Home)

GOAL
Scapular depression aka lat work for a wider back and narrow waist 

DETAILS
1. Place a dumbbell standing up on a flat bench.
2. Lie perpendicular to the bench (torso across it as in forming a cross) with only your shoulders lying on the surface.
3. Grasp the dumbbell with both hands and hold it straight over your chest at arms length. Both palms should be pressing against the underside one of the sides of the dumbbell. This will be your starting position, make sure the weight is secure.
4. While keeping your arms straight, lower the weight slowly in an arc behind your head while breathing in until you feel a stretch on the armpit.
5. At that point, bring the dumbbell back to the starting position by depressing your shoulder blades, using the arc through which the weight was lowered and exhale as you perform this movement.
6. Hold the weight on the initial position for a second and repeat the movement. 

CUES
- Initiate with Scapula 
- Squeeze Your Butt
- Slightly Bend Elbows

Dumbbell Pull Overs

GOAL
Thicker back and confident posture 

DETAILS 
1. With your feet hip width, knees soft, and back flat, shift your hips back until your chest is facing the floor.
3. Hold one dumbbell in each arm, reaching toward the floor to start, then pull your arms toward the ceiling - bending at the elbows and shoulder until your elbows are bent to 90 degrees and your upper arm is aligned with your ribs.

CUES 
- Right Triangle
- Proud Chest 
- Shoulder Blade Retraction & Depression

Dumbbell Bent Over Row

Pull Circuit

GOAL
Refine your mid-trap and rear delts for healthier shoulders than Dr. Oz

DETAILS
1. Hinging at the hip or what have you, get your spine rigid and neutral. Chin tucked.
2. Begin by squeezing your shoulder blades down towards your hips. 
3. Contract the shoulder blades together and squeeze to full range to extend the weight. 
4. Fly away birdy. Slow and controlled.
Pro-Tip: Don't relax your chest if you have a support, think of resisting the pad or your knees and pulling everything back to tighten your erectors, scaps, and mid back up. 

CUES
- Rigid, Extended Spine
- Pinch Shoulders Back & Down
- Chest Angled Up

Bent Over Rear Delt Flys

GOAL
The holy grail of rowing. It focuses on scapula retraction and spinal extension #BangForYourBuck

DETAILS

1. With the and hand resting on a bench, let the dumbbell fall directly below that boulder shoulder of yours. 
2. Stiffen/extend your spine. Rounding of the spine inhibits proper shoulder blade retraction/depression.
3. Square up your shoulders.
4. Initiate the first inch of the movement by squeezing/depressing your armpit. Think of "crunching" your armpit to your hip. 
4. Pull elbow to hip, think like you're starting a lawnmower like the little badass you are.
4.When pulling, keep the right triangle bend in your elbow. 

Pro-Tip: Dumbbell moves in an arc or "C" shape from below shoulder to front of hip.

CUES
- Initiate with Scapula 
- Chest is Squared Up
- Flat Back

4. Lower slowly. Pushing the elbow forward. 
5. Slow and controlled. 

CUES
- Elbow Forward
- Shoulders Back
- Squeeze Bicep

Dumbbell Zottman Curl

GOAL
That lat squeeze for a v-taper look

1. In a wide stance hinge over with a flat back. 
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

KB renegade rows (or DB)

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
