Did this from a hotel gym. Had to modify a couple things but the majority I could get in no problem.
Great arm burn!

Angel

Heather

I can’t believe I finished the entire thing!! My lats are already sore

Very good burn, and love the boxing at the end to stretch the burn!

That was an incredible workout! My gym has one heavy bag and it was being utilized by someone else. In a pinch, I did 9 minutes of burpees instead. I’m dying now, thanks. 🔥🥵

jeanette

Amazing. My arms are DONE. Not a comment specific to this workout BUT I ran two miles straight after the workout for the first time in my life. I didn’t stop or walk and I didn’t feel like I was dying afterwards. It’s beyond amazing to me how much my endurance has changed since doing these workouts.

GOAL
Stack that bottom, work on positioning and get steel cut glutes and hamstrings

DETAILS
1. Like you’re doing a regular back extension, but squeeze at the top and bend the knees.
2. Grab a weight plate in hand. Get a stacked position where the shoulders are back, ribs are tucked and butt is squeezed.
3. Maintain this position for as long as possible as you hinge down into a back extension.
4. Repeat and squeeze from your hamstrings and glutes to rise. 

CUES - Ribs Tucked
- Squeeze Glutes

Bent Knee Weighted Back Extensions (drop set 10 + 10 at  bw)

GOAL
Strengthen the lower abs for supreme injury prevention, lifting strength and pelvic control #PelvicStrong

DETAILS
1. On a dip bar, extend arms and actively press away from it.
2. Create as much space between the ears and shoulders as possible. 
3. Stack your body in a perfectly straight line, abs crunched, butt squeezed, and toes pointed.
4. Begin the rep by lifting the toes up to hip level. 
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 10 reps. 

CUES
- Feet Together
- Control Descent
- Exhale on Crunch
- Hips In Line With Body
- Crunch Belly Button In

Dip Bar Leg Raise   10 -12

Superset 1

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

Dumbbell Supine Curls (last set drop set 10+8)

GOAL
Triceps that scream strong

DETAILS
1. Proud chest. 
2. Push hips back slightly and lean torso forward at 30 degrees. 
3. Isolate elbows by pushing them forward and squeeze from you triceps to extend.
4. Keep elbows in place and repeat. 


CUES
- Right Triangle 
- Proud Chest

V-Bars Pushdown  (last set drop set 10 + 8 )

Superset 2

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 sets 8+10)

GOAL
Sculpted arms

DETAILS
1. Set cable to high setting. 
2. Stand with proud chest, hips push back slightly and shoulder blades back. 
3. Elbow forward, squeeze from tricep. 
4. Flex the wrist aka the pinkey toward your forearm. 
5. Slowly come back to starting point.

We’re thickening the density of your abdominal wall for a proper 6-pack. My favorite exercise for abs, ever.

2. Get on your hands and knees and walk back about 6 feet from the machine. 
3. Squeeze your elbows around your head. 
4. Hover over the space ahead of you. 
5. Begin by crunching the belly button into the spine. 
6. Find your balance and isolate the ab crunch. 
7. Avoid pushing the hips back towards your feet as you crunch. 

CUES 
- Hollow Rock
- Hover

Cable Crunch

Superset 5

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

1. Wrap your hands and wear 14-16 oz boxing gloves.
