Now you've gone and established them habits, maybe even given yourself a kick for trying to get out of this. But, let's be real, there's no talking YOU outta this. We're almost at the halfway point. If you gotta look at your reasons you wrote down in week one, then look at em. Protein today! Lots of it. 30 g, 4x a day. Even more if you can. And don't forget that H20. Your body is hella thirsty, just like you....

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

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.

- Rotate Torso
- Tuck Ribs
- Crunch Ribs to Hip Slightly
- Straight Arms Whole Time

W3/D2 Superhero Pull Day🐲

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.

Carrington Vercher

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

W5/D1 Full Flex

It was a killer one.
