killerrr, i feel so good. the last workout was the most difficult cause the grip hurts like hell when holding my body weight up but i did what i could 😅🔥

Ashley

Knew this would be a hard one but whew. Really pushed me

Levi Kieschnick

Just when I think I can’t get through the workout, I tell myself “I can”. Love the push that this pull workout required.

Jess

Elmaz

I felt like I was working a little too much on the same muscles back to back so I couldn’t do as much as I continued on, but still good! Maybe it’s also just my inconsistency with working out too. So take this with a grain of salt :)

Hi! First time caller lol. I love the vibe, bought your book, I'm super into it. I've been lifting for about 8 years (also an excrossfiter.) One thing I was wondering is how to be efficient during super sets involving cable machines. I have a home set up so it takes a ton of time to swap weights and "handles" (rope, lat bar, etc.) I imagine in a conventional gym it would be similar that you wouldnt be able or want to take up a lat machine and a separate cable machine for straight arm lat pulls, and then also have another handle for a third moment. Any tips of speeding things up or swapping movements to be a bit more efficient when on a time or space crunch? Thnx 🙂

Feel that burn! Geez I’m loving these results! Had to motify the ab work outs a bit because of body weight but I’m loving this!

Great pull day, body is shot in a good way

I had to take a week off because I got a sinus infection but I am back lol! It feels good and I loved this one! I also added 60 minutes of cardio. Really good!

I can’t do the last one, not because of the ambs but the grip. I wish could have an option for one to straight the grip 🥲

Loved loved loveeeeed this one 🔥🔥🔥

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
Lat squeeze that feels awkward but good. This one will help you depress your shoulder blades

DETAILS
1. Set a cable pulley to high setting and use a handle attachment. 
2. Stand perpendicular to the cable and stand tall. 
3. Begin by squeezing your arm pit.
4. Squeeze the handle down towards your hip by depressing your shoulder blades. 
5. Externally rotate your shoulder throughout the movement aka try to show the armpit as you press down. 
6. Slowly come back up.  
7. Limit range of motion if you’re having a hard time feeling this one. Focus on your shoulder blade movement, not what your handle is doing. 

CUES
- Squeeze Armpit
- Proud Chest 
- Externally Rotate Shoulder

Single Arm Cable Pushdown (8 each side)

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

Killer Lats

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 (last 2 drop set 10+8)

GOAL 
Upper back demolition without any lower back stress

DETAILS
1. On the edge of a bench or couch, have dumbbells in each hand.
2. Scoot to the edge of the seat, lower chest towards knees, let weight rest underneath knees.
3. Slightly retract your shoulder blades. Begin the rep by squeezing back with your shoulder blades.
4. Squeeze the elbows away from your body, keeping the chest over the knees.
5. Mind muscle connect by squeezing in between the shoulder blades. 

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

Seated Wide Grip Bent Over Rows

Bulletproof Back

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

DETAILS

1. With the opposing knee 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

Dumbbell Lat Row

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

DETAILS
1. Lay with your back on a physioball. 
2. Walk back to hang off the ball more.
3. Fully stretch your abdominals and mind muscle connect to your abs.
4. Sit up towards the ceiling, not just forward.
5. Exhale on the contraction.
6. Slowly lower to fully stretch. Repeat.

CUES
- Hollow Rock
- Crunch Abs into Spine 
- Sit Up Not Just Forward

Sit Ups on Ball

Lats and Abs 🥵

GOAL
Use gravity and eliminate momentum to blast those muscle fibers to shreds #Shredz

DETAILS
1. Grab those dumbbells in each hand, lay chest forward on an incline bench and scoot up to where you get a good strong position at the top. 
2. While straddling the bench, let the weight pull your arms to a dead hang. 
3. Begin to curl the weight up, only hinging at the elbow.
4. Use your spidey focus to keep the elbow directly below the shoulder and not letting that fucker creep back. Don't shorten the range by pushing the elbow back behind your shoulder. 
5. Now squeeze that ish.

Beware: Beware of web-like material squirting out of your wrists after these curls. So worth it. 

CUES
- Squeeze
- Stationary Elbow
- Elbow Directly Below Shoulder
- Control That Negative

Spider Curls

GOAL
Front delt burner 

DETAILS 
1. Set a bench a couple slots below upright. 
2. Grab light dumbbells and straddle on bench. 
3. Pull shoulder blades back and scoop to raise the weight. 
4. Palm facing up towards ceiling. 
5. Raise to shoulder height and lower slowly. 

CUES 
- Squeeze 
- Shoulders Back

Front Raise on Bench

Vascular Arms

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 (drop set 12+10)

GOAL
Strengthen the oblique abs for v-lines baby

DETAILS
1. Don't let yourself swing around. Slow and controlled is the name of the game.
2. Jump up and hold onto to a bar. Retract your shoulders and externally rotate that shit. 
3. Rotate hips to side and push hips forward.
4. Begin the rep by crunching the ribs to hips with bent knees. 
5. Actively crunch your abs while keeping your hips under your shoulders, don't let the hips tuck back behind your body. 
6. On the descent, control the negative and pray to the ab Gods to power you through at least 7 reps. 

CUES
- Knees Slightly Apart
- Control Descent
- Exhale on Crunch
- Hips In Line With Body

Those cleans can be rough for us big yiddie peeps, but such a good work out. Might be crawling out after those burpees not gonna lie 🤣

W1/D4 Full Body Burner 🥵

Great workout, I am using a home gym so I do look up a lot of alternatives for resistance bands and depending on how I feel it is compared to the actual machine needed I add reps or sets as needed.

Arden

Boyyyyyy I bout damn near died at those sissy squats. You did your big one with this Morgan 😘🤌🏾

Tori

Workouts are great but depend on the gym you attend having a huge amount of kit and equipment. I couldn’t do half of this session unfortunately due to lack of equipment, and the gym I go to is pretty decent. Would be great to have alternative options for each exercise using different equipment. Thanks

Kate Bouchier-Hayes

I’ve paid for a LOT of workout programs and coaching but this is, by far, the best one I’ve committed to.

Every workout is supplemented with a quick looping video and (funny) technique description. Im still downloading my dream bod, but I can feel it coming faster rather than later as opposed to other programs thanks to having Momo tailor these exercises to what we want

W5/D3 Boulder Shoulders 🪨
