Love today! Def got my chest tired. 

For the row machine - swap for ski erg, air dyne or sprints. Aim for 10 calories max effort. It’s a tough one.

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
Isolate the chest for confident posture and a striated chest

DETAILS
1. Set cables to shoulder height.
2. Begin by taking a lunge stance. 
3. Proud chest, slightly bend elbows, and externally rotate your shoulders.
4. Start with handles touching together and squeeze your chest as hard as possible. 
5. Slowly release and lower back. Keeping elbows slightly bent and the tension in the chest.

Cable Chest Flys

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 
Tighten your lower chest for confident posture
 
DETAILS 
1. Secure your legs at the end of the decline bench and slowly lay down on the bench.
2. Using a medium width grip, lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. The arms should be perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position. Tip: In order to protect your rotator cuff, it is best if you have a spotter help you lift the barbell off the rack.
3. As you breathe in, come down slowly until you feel the bar on your lower chest.
4. After a second pause, bring the bar back to the starting position as you breathe out and push the bar using your chest muscles. Lock your arms and squeeze your chest in the contracted position, hold for a second and then start coming down slowly again. Tip: It should take at least twice as long to go down than to come up). 
 CUES

Decline Barbell Bench Press

GOAL
Great inner pec work

DETAILS
1. Place a dumbbell at bottom of decline bench. 
2. Mount machine, carefully lol.
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. Slightly bend elbows, lower the weight slowly in an arc behind your head. 
5. Bring the dumbbell back to the starting position by squeezing your chest 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 Chest Squeeze 
- Proud Chest
- Slightly Bend Elbows

Decline Pull Over

Decline Brutality

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

Dumbbell 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

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

Palm Up Rear Delt Flys

Shoulder Boulders

GOAL
Cardio with retraction and leg drive. Welp, meet the Erg. 

DETAILS
1. Adjust the footpads to your foot size and adjust the damper depending on distance/desired resistance. The higher the number, the higher the resistance, thus the more meters rowed in a stroke.
2. Starting position, aka the catch has arms straight, upper body is leaning forward with shoulders in front of hips, shins are vertical and heels are raised as needed.
3. The drive - start by pressing with your legs. Once your shoulder pass your hips, arm row can finally be added.
4. The finish - Once knees are extended, upper body is leaning back slightly, and then you pull with your arms. 
5. Shoulders remain low and relaxed.
6. Extend your arms fully BEFORE leaning forward at the hips and breaking at the knees.
Pro-Tip: Timing is everything. Don't pull with the arms early on the drive. 

CUES
- Drive with Legs
- Back Neutral
- Extend Legs
- Pull to Belly Button
- Release Arms
