Thanks it was awesome! I’m wondering which training could be good for me now, I finished the two surfer types :)

Last workout of the month. Down a few lbs, my clothes are loose and im very confident working my way around the gym.  It's always been a challenge to squeeze my way into the "free weights" side. 
Thank you

Faith

Girl - I forgot to do the banded superset on both sides so I had to go back and do it in the middle 😂

What should I do next ? I did surfer twice? I love the muscle I built but I want to lean out a bit, I have been in a deficit for over a month. And just now back to fighting again.

Retest and check your progress!

Last week of The Surfer - message me for what you want to see more of. What will be The Surfer 2.0?

Proud of you for sticking with it. More results to come with consistency.

Alright - we’re testing and retreating that strength and endurance. 

Benchmark is max plank hold, max push ups on incline *don’t rest at the top!* and max squats in one minute. 

Keep great form and exhale!

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

Plank

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
A good squat comes from flexible ankles/hips, a strong ass, and a developed core #FoundationalShit

DETAILS

1. Feet under your hips, toes slightly turned out according to your ankle flexibility, and reach your hands forward for balance. 
2. Begin by simultaneously reaching your hips back and bending the knees.
3. As you descend, spread the Earth with your feet aka push those knees out. 
4. When the hips go just below the knees, you can stand up. If you look like a rounded goblin, you gotta stretch mo.
5. Ascend and squeeze that ass at the top of a rep for ultimate booty building.
6. Exhale on the way up

CUES

-Chest up
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
-Knees Push Out
-Weight in Heels

Sumo Squat

Triset

GOAL
Wider stance for more side glutes

DETAILS

2. Roll the bar so that it is directly above your hips, and lean back against the bench so that your shoulder blades are near the top of it.
3. Walk feet out wide with toes pointed 45 degrees out. Begin the movement by squeezing your butt. 
4. Push through your heels and tuck your pelvis. Focus more on glute activation and tucking the pelvis rather than how high you can push the bar.

Wide Stance Barbell Glute Bridge

V important: release the tension at the bottom by resting on your back knee for 1 full second and keeping your chest over your knee.

2. Starting with your hips and knees bent at 90 degrees and feet shoulder width apart. 
3. Press the floor away and stand straight up, keeping your feet in place.

Dumbbell Split Lunge

10 step ups each leg. Hollow rock until you can’t rock no mo.

You want to load your hip, not execute with momentum - maximal control on this one

DETAILS
1. Set a box to the proper height. When you step your foot on the box, your hips are just below your knee. Setting it too high creates hip shifting and pushing off with the back leg. Don't do that. 
2. Place your foot on the box, push knee slightly out, and keep it over ankle. 
3. Begin movement by centering your chest over your knee (balances your center of gravity). 
4. As you drive up through your heel, raise your chest and extend the knee. DO NOT push off with your back leg. 
5. Stand tall and return slow and controlled by leaning the chest forward to counterbalance your weight. Chest over knee = ultimate hip loading = booty gains. 
6. On the return, drag your back foot against the box for stability. 

CUES

- Hip Loading
- Drive Through the Heels
- Knee Over Ankle 
- Knee Pushes Out
- Relax the Back Leg

Step Ups

GOAL
Build ab strength relative to your body weight 

1. Start in supine position.
2. Arms extend overhead.
3. Legs extend and press together.
4. Eliminate space below lumbar spine by contracting the abdominals. 
5. Rock in this position minimizing movement at the hip and shoulder.

CUES
- Point Toes
- Hollow Rock 
- Crunch Belly Button into Spine

Hollow Rock

Superset

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
