F1: Ab Incinerator 3 rounds

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

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
Dumbbell press with rotation 

1. With back on bench, get a proud chest and lock in the dumbbells with elbows at 45 degrees from your body.
2. With an underhand position, begin to press the dumbbells overhead while rotating your shoulders internally. 
3. After a second pause at the top, begin to lower the dumbbells to the original position by rotating the palms of your hands towards you. 
4. Lower slow, pause and press to repeat. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Strong Press 
- Slow Negative

Incline Bench Arnold Press

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
Load your elbow and triceps to increase your lockout strength #ElbowStrength

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. You can either finish the rep fully or keep the elbow slightly bent and cycle back into the next rep. They both have their benefit. 

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

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

Dumbbell Skull Crushers

Superset A

GOAL
Pull back to strengthen your retraction muscles aka traps, rear delts, erectors

DETAILS
1. Resistance band is set to right at shoulder height.
2. Retract scapulas back by pulling with your elbows. 
3. At the end of the rep, your wrists are slightly above your elbows. It's almost a half scarecrow position or like a "Put your hands up" type position.
4. Control the negative and return to the start keeping your shoulder blades retracted. 

Side note: This is a very weak position and harder than just a typical row so don't be afraid to go lighter and more for blood flow.

CUES
- Retract & Depress Shoulder Blades
- Wrists above Elbows
- Proud Chest

Banded Face Pulls

GOAL
Athletic advantage, injury prevention and oblique shredder

DETAILS
1. Set up a resistance band above shoulder height. 
2. Grab the end with both arms extended. 
3. Start with shoulders, hips, and feet square/straight forward. 
4. Rotate the torso away from the anchor point, keeping the hips square. 
5. Then, chop that wood by rotating torso towards your hip and slightly towards the ground.
6. Squeeze abs & exhale. Return slowly to start position. Repeat. 

Pro-Tips: Ribs are tucked and you compress/crunch your abs a little. Back foot pivots as you chop. Hips can rotate or stay stationary, whichever gives you a better ab squeeze. 

CUES
- Squeeze Butt
- Rotate Torso
- Tuck Ribs
- Crunch Ribs to Hip Slightly
- Straight Arms Whole Time

Banded Wood Chop

Superset B

GOAL
Accumulate a high amount of work load through pressing, hip flexion and jumping #HeavyBreathing 

DETAILS
1. Bend over and reach the hands to the ground.
2. Jump the feet back into a plank position.
3. Lower the whole body to lay on the floor.
4. Press up off the floor and jump your feet under your hands (optional: scale by stepping one leg under your shoulders at a time.)
5. Return to a standing position with feet under your hips.
6. Jump up and clap overhead.
7. Repeat until sweat turns into blood

Pro-tip: Burpees are extremely mentally challenging. You will hit mind failure before you hit muscle failure, so zone in and kill this shit. 

CUES
- Chest to Ground
- Feet Replace Hands
- Breathe with a Rhythm

Burpees

GOAL
Get that static hold for core endurance and strength #PlankMore

DETAILS
1. Feet together, butt squeezed, tuck the ribs down and flex your belly button in. 
2. Actively crunch you abs into your spine and keep the elbows below the shoulders or slightly in front. 
3. Keep it tight and focused. Think about donuts, not how bad it hurts. 

CUES
- Elbows Under Shoulders
- Feet Together
- Extend Legs
