Nice workout on this cold 🥶 morning. Now my body/ muscles are warm.

Betina

I keep going to the mirror to check when I'll look like that lol 💪🏼 #GripitnRipit

Rocío

Love the side bends… such a small movement but with big weights I know I’ll see big results!

Maria

So I mixed this up with legs in between every set barely any rest in between so it was kinda cardio too. Feels good. Gonna do a full day of shoulders and full day of arms to finish this week.

Natalie Novoa

i could do without the chin-ups, but this week has been really well paced so far !

This was good. Great placement from the taxing first two workouts this week.

Feeling overall stronger. Still can’t do a push-up, but working on it!

It’s a burner! Big fan of chin ups lately ❤️‍🔥 

Make sure you tag me in your workout stories. It makes my day 🥰

GOAL
This is the flour to the cupcake, the butter to the donut, the sole to your Nikes, the string to your Yo-Yo, the milk to your cereal. Best introduction to rowing/learning to squeeze the shit out of your back.

DETAILS
1. Start with on a Smith Machine or TRX cables set at around chest height, lower if you're a lil badass. 
2. Walk your feet in front of the bar while holding onto the bar. Woooo feels like your going to fall back on your ass but since your upper body is rock solid, you gucci. 
3. Initiate by squeezing back with the shoulder blades.
4. Pull just below your sports bra, and keep the right triangle in your elbow. If any of that dish is off, you probably have to lower that bar or walk your feet in. 

CUES
- Squeeze Back With Shoulder Blades
- Chest up
- Flat Back
- Tuck the Ribs
- Don't Sag
- Plank Position

Overhand Inverted Rows (from desk or table)

Do assisted chin ups if needed and aim for failure 5-12 reps. 

If you don’t have a pull up/chin up bar: Use a resistance band attached overhead, Sit on the floor and pull the band straight down

GOAL
Wider back for a tighter waist and strong look

DETAILS 
1. You will start by grabbing band 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

Resistance Band Straight Arm Pushdown

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
1. Begin the rep by activating your scapula and raising sternum towards ceiling. That is the start position.
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. 

CUES
- Squeeze Your Biceps 
- Chest is Pointing Up Towards the Bar

Chin Up

Superset

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 back towards your belly button and pull your chest up to nearly upright.
5. Stop once your elbow is bent at 90 degrees and at your ribs, then slowly lower the dumbbell back.
6. Try to squeeze your shoulder blades at the top of each row.

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

Seated Bent Over Rows

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

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
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
Low impact fat burner 

DETAILS
1. Set treadmill to a 8-12 incline and a 2.5-3.5 mph. 
2. Begin by walking with a talk chest. 
3. Don’t hold onto the handles. 

CUES
- Exhale 
- Watch Some YouTube
