My shoulders feel like Stallone’s in Rambo III. 🔫

Now that we're talking about supplements, let's rap about Creatine Monohydrate. 
Creatine is one of those misunderstood supplements. It actually has more research done on it than any other. Annnnnd it gets results. 5 mg a day, every day (even on rest days). It brings water into the muscles, letting you produce more ATP. ATP = Energy, which helps you crush out one or two reps more. One or two reps more is a big deal in the long term game. If you feel a bit bloated, that's normal. The water weight will go away during your workout.

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

GOAL
No, it doesn't include bae with a cup of coffee and waffles in her hand. But, do these often and they will produce the same amount of happiness #BootyAF

DETAILS
1. Get an upright, proud chest and feet in squat position. 
2.  Slightly bend your knees and push em out a little, aka external rotation to active your glute medius. Nail that setup.
3. Stiffen up your back and brace your abs. Flat back, you know what that is. 
4. PUSH THOSE HIPS BAAACK. Feel the stretch and pressure in the back of your legs. Yep, those are your hammies. Say good morning to them.
5. Hinge at the hip. Depth is dependent on your ability to maintain a flat back. 
6.  Stand and squeeze that azz. 

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
- Brace Abs
- Reach Hips Back
- Squeeze Your Butt

Bodyweight Good Mornings

GOAL 
Boulder upper back and scapular health

DETAILS
1. Stand tall.
2. Grab the ends of resistance bands with your thumbs pointing away from each other.
3. Begin by slowly pinching between your shoulder blades and depressing your shoulders. 
4. Keep thumbs out and avoid shrugging.
 CUES
- Depress & Retract Shoulder Blades 
- Thumbs Out
- Slow

Resistance Band Pull Aparts

GOAL
Cardio life, aim for a soft landing. Swap for 1 regular squats with 5 high knees jumping is too much impact per rep. 

DETAILS
1. In squat position, squat with driving the knees out. 
2. Accelerate out of the bottom right of the squat and jump. 
3. Extend knees fully. Squeeze your butt. 
4. Land softly. 
5. Repeat. 

CUES
- Tall Jump
- Soft Landing
- Exhale on Jump

Jumping Squats

CNS Warm Up 1 (Home)

Swap the incline push ups for work push ups if needed.

GOAL
You're only as good as your weakest arm. Unilateral pressing to develop strong pecs, shoulders, and triceps 

DETAILS
1. Start sitting upright on a bench. Dumbbell on each knee with a 90 degree elbow.
2. Use your knee to hike the weights up to your chest height as you lay back on the bench. 
3. Immediately press out of the first rep, that may be the trickiest part.
4. Elbows are 45 degrees angle your body and you got that right triangle in yo elbow. 
5. Keep one arm extended. Lower slowly on one side, control the weight as it descends. Lower elbows to parallel or just below for happy shoulders and strength building.
6. As you're pressing up, squeeze the chest.  
7. Wrist is directly over elbow. And wrist is neutral.
8. Alternate arms. 

CUES
- Heels Grounded
-Elbows Just to Parallel
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Wrists Neutral

Alternating Dumbbell Bench Press

GOAL
Build up your pressing strength through proper positioning and high volume

DETAILS
1. Set hands right outside of shoulders on the dumbbell rack, couch or bench. 
2. Get in a tight plank position. No sagging your stomach or arching your lower back excessively.
2. Feet together, butt squeezed, ribs tucked and as you descend down into the push up squeeze your shoulder blades back. 
3. At the top of the rep, push away with your shoulder blades to get more movement in your serratus/scapula. 

Pro-Tip: #1 mistake is your elbow position. If your elbows track out, that's a no no. If you lose the Right Triangle in your elbow that's a no no. 

If that happens, it's because you're pressing "too high." Step closer to the bar or bench and touch the bar to below your sports bra with the elbows close to your rib cage. 

CUES
- Plank Position
- Squeeze the Shoulder Blades Back
- Right Triangle
- Bar/Bench Below Nips

Incline Push Ups

Make 'Em Stare

GOAL
Burn em brah. This is the optimal exercise for building rounder shoulders to trick people into thinking you have a tinier waist #TrickorTreat

DETAILS
1. Grip can vary. Neutral grip for basic life or internally rotate with the dumbbell slightly in front of your hip to target that rotator cuff (lighter weight).
2. Start at the hip and raise up to the shoulders. The dumbbells should be a few inches in front of your body to move in your scapular plane.
3. Elbows are slightly bent and you're initiating the movement with your shoulders.

Pro-Tip: We're going for blood flow on this. No need to get real heavy, just go lighter and check that ego.

CUES
- Retract Shoulder Blades

- Elevated Sternum 

- Reach Away 

- Tuck Your Ribs

Seated Dumbbell Lateral Raises

GOAL
Get those front shoulders poppin and striated

DETAILS
1. Seated on the edge of a bench or surface, begin with a proud chest.
2. With an underhand grip, raise one dumbbell at a time. 
3. Think of scooping the weight up and keeping the shoulders retracted slightly.
4. Slowly lower and alternate sides.

CUES - Proud Chest
- Slow & Control

Seated Alternating Underhand Front Raise

GOAL
Get some shape to your upper body and improve your shoulder function 

DETAILS
1. Knees are slightly bent, hand grip can vary but usually right inside the shoulder is optimal. 
2. With the weight at your hips, begin pulling by leading with your elbows. Get the elbows up towards your ears and the weight will follow.
3. Keep the weight close to your body. 
4. As you pull, you can shrug up to target the traps as well. 
Pro-Tip: I prefer not wrapping my thumb around the bar aka less internal rotation.

CUES
- Shrug Up 
- Squeeze Up
- Knees Slightly Bent
- Chest Up

Dumbbell Upright Row

The Weekly Shoulder Builder

GOAL
Get the volume of push ups without strict form while taxing the abs and shoulders

1. Lay stomach down on the floor. 
2. Position hands in a wide push up position.
3. Retract shoulder blades and externally rotate.
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
- Proud Chest
- Right Triangle 
- Exhale on the Press

Wide Worm Push Ups

GOAL
A lil twist to the skull crushers - finish with the palm forward + keep the elbows more behind your chin #Crushed

DETAILS

1. Lay flat on a bench, with a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Keep your palms facing each other and bend at the elbows so the dumbbells go toward your head, keeping your hands far enough apart that the dumbbells go to your ears.
3. Wrists are neutral and not getting broken by the weight.
4. Extend by squeezing the tricep + twist so your palm is forward.

Note: you can do this on the floor if you don’t have a bench. 

CUES
- Elbows Above Chin
- DB Comes to Forehead
- Wrists Neutral
- Be a Badass Cuz Most Guys Don't Even Do These

Dumbbell Skull Crushers w/ a Twist

Tri Size

GOAL
Tricep crusher 

DETAILS
1. Sitting on an upright bench or slightly upright, grab a dumbbell. 
2. Lower behind with elbows tucked. 
3. Squeeze triceps to raise. 
4. Slow negative, strong squeeze. 

CUES
- Elbows Close
- Stretch

Overhead Dumbbell Tricep Extension

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
