GOAL
My favorite warm up exercise for shoulder joint space and stretching the chest

DETAILS
1. Stand.
2. Swing the arms using momentum.
3. Stretch the chest as the arms open up.
4. Position thumbs back towards each other for external rotation and better stretching.

CUES
- Thumbs Out
- Swing 
- Get Groovy with It

Arm Swings

GOAL 
Target your upper chest and upper back for ultimate confident posture and proud chest 

1. Stand facing a Smith machine bar or sturdy elevated platform at an appropriate height.
2. Place your hands on the bar, with your hands wider than shoulder width.
3. Position your feet back from the bar with arms and body straight. Your arms should be perpendicular to the body. This will be your starting position.
4. Keeping your body straight, lower your chest to the bar by bending the arms.
5. Return to the starting position by extending the elbows, pressing yourself back up.

CUES 
- Proud Chest 
- Externally Rotate Shoulders 
- Squeeze Between Shoulder Blades

Incline Wide Push Up

Warm Up

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. 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. 

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

Dumbbell Bench Press

GOAL
Controlled overloaded chest stretch to tighten boobs and decrease armpit fat 

DETAILS 
1. Raise the dumbbells up like you're pressing them, but stop and hold just before you lock out. This will be your starting position.
2. With a slight bend on your elbows in order to prevent stress at the biceps tendon, lower your arms out at both sides in a wide arc until you feel a stretch on your chest. Breathe in as you perform this portion of the movement. Tip: Keep in mind that throughout the movement, the arms should remain stationary; the movement should only occur at the shoulder joint.
3. Return your arms back to the starting position as you squeeze your chest muscles and breathe out. Tip: Make sure to use the same arc of motion used to lower the weights.
4. Hold for a second at the contracted position and repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Proud Chest 
- Squeeze Chest to Initiate 
- Slightly Bend Elbows

Dumbbell Flys

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
Get that bulletproof rear deltoid and shoulder health 

DETAILS
1. Hinge over with a rigid spine. 
2. With dumbbells in each hand, turn your palm facing up towards the ceiling. 
3. Begin movement by squeezing by from your shoulder. 
4. At the top of the movement squeeze your rear deltoid, retract your shoulders and get a proud chest. 
5. Slow negative and repeat.

CUES
- Flat Back
- Shoulder Blade Retraction & Depression 
- Squeeze Back
- Proud Chest

Palm Up Rear Delt Flys

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

Single Arm DB Lateral Raises

GOAL
Isolate the front deltoid and build those babies to have density to create a rounded, sculpted look 

DETAILS

1. Start with the dumbbells at the hip and raise to eye level. 
2. Keep shoulder blades retracted with a proud chest. 
3. Slow and controlled. Really think about flexing the shoulder and not overpowering with the pec or trap. #Contract

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Don't Shrug Up
- Breathe
- Grunt

Dumbbell Front Raises

Shoulder Boulders

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

Or talk a stroll outside
