Katie

This is a great workout especially after long day at work! Thank you momo! 🔥💪🏻

Felt like a repeat of earlier workouts, would like some more diversity!

Naima

Brook

Great as always! I still think you should consider adding more weeks to the app programs. It’s a lot easier to follow you in the app than a piece of literature. Which is bad as literature but you know what I mean, it’s easier to follow you as we watch you do the exercise 🤷‍♀️

Sandra

Always look forward to this arm and ab day! Wicked pump 😄

Shania

Favorite day to workout and I’m obsessed with your arm programming

Emilyaquinow

Fav day 💪🏻 seen your Fighter program workout today so made my own cable system for cable crunches to add to this workout. First time doing them and they may be my new fav core workout!

The worm pushups killed me, I'll definitely be sore tomorrow

Sofia

Feeling fresh! Let’s get them gains bby.

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
Tricep sculptor  

DETAILS
1. Standing upright with the torso straight and a very small inclination forward, bring the upper arms close to your body and perpendicular to the floor. Slightly push hips back.
2. Using the triceps, press straight down until the arms are fully extended perpendicular to the floor. The upper arms should always remain stationary next to your torso and only the forearms should move. Exhale as you perform this movement.
3. After a second hold at the contracted position, wrists slowly up to the starting point. Breathe in as you perform this step.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Squeeze from tricep
- Proud Chest
- Hips Back

Banded Tricep Extensions

Superset

GOAL
This move will elevate every shirt you own. Making those arms irresistible to every human with eyes.

DETAILS
1. Grab a dumbbell in one hand. 
2. Stand tall, ribs tucked. Pretend your elbow is glued just outside your ribcage
3. Actively curl the weight across the chest, keeping the Right Triangle in your elbow. 
4. Think to push the weight back down with your tricep.
5. Repeat. Each rep squeeze that bicep like you're making lemonade. 

CUES
- Elbow Pinned to Rib
- Squeeze That Lemon
- Control Descent
- Wrist Neutral

Across the Chest Curls

GOAL
Squeeze those triceps until they look like horseshoes 

DETAILS
1. Lean over your knees.
2. Retract and depress your shoulder blades. 
3. Squeeze from your triceps to extend. 
4. Get an extra squeeze by thinking of extending the pinky towards the wrist. 
5. Come back to a right Triangle aka 90 degree bend. 

CUES
- Right Triangle 
- Proud Chest

Dumbbell Tricep Kickback

Slow tempo on push ups. 2 sec down, pause and press.

GOAL
So much concentration required on these you're going to be feeling like Yoda. No dilution needed. Lock in your elbow to prevent shoulder movement and just use that bicep #UseTheForce

DETAILS
1. With a dumbbell, sit down, and lock your elbow on the inside of your knee. 
2. Position your shoulder directly over your locked in elbow.
3. Begin rep by squeezing your bicep, only the forearm moves. 
4. Finish the rep with the dumbbell just above the middle of your bicep. 

Pro-Tips: Your chest can be tilted up more or level, whatever feels good.

2. Place your hands next to one another on the bar.

Bear Crawl

GOAL

4. Flare the elbows out and press up into a plank position by pressing the upper body up first, then following with the lower body.
5. Finish in a perfect plank position by squeezing your butt, feet together and crunching the abs.
6. Slowly lower to the starting position. 
7. Repeat as needed. It’s a bit of a ‘worm’ movement.
 CUES

- Right Triangle 
- Exhale on the Press

Wide Worm Push Ups

W3/D4 Arms & Abs

Great workout! I forgot how challenging those banded chest presses can be!! 🔥

Mandy

What a workout! Resolve tested a couple of times, but so worth it for this post workout happiness!

Ashley

The banded incline dumbbell chest press is suuuuuuper awkward to perform. Each rep felt different because I had to keep repositioning the band to get comfortable, and it was really distracting. Didn’t feel like I got anything but frustration out of this one

I keep thinking that I’ve just done the hardest possible workout that I could do, then I start a new one and find the next hardest workout I could ever do!

Exercises were great and just right for me. Timing was excellent. Since it was shorter I have time to stretch after and make a protein smoothie 👍🏼

Christine

My arms are done! Today should be fun at work! 🔥

I enjoyed the exercises a lot! I was at the gym an hour and 20 minutes and still didn’t get through the whole workout. Followed the rest times too.

W2/D4 Arms & Abs

Banded presses are reallly logistically tricky 😆 great challenge though!
