Pump got me feeling hella strong 💪🏽❤️‍🔥

Took a bit of a longer lunch to get an earlier workout in today. Swapped superset 2 out with tricep push backs and hammer curls since I did this one in my home gym and didn’t have a rope. Got a good sweat going especially during the deplete and bike.

I’ll definitely be doing this challenge again !

GOAL
Thicken that back and improve that posture

DETAILS
1. Holding a TRX strap in each hand, lean back and maintain tension through the strap.
2. Squeeze your butt and begin the movement by squeezing your shoulder blades back.
3. Pull your body toward the handles, bending at the shoulder and elbow until your elbows are bent at 90 degrees and your upper arm is aligned with your ribs.
4. Slowly lower your body back down while keeping your feet in place the entire time.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Right Triangle
- Initiate From Shoulder Blades

TRX Row

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

Superset

GOAL
Focus on targeting that brachialis to contribute to arm thickness more so than just your biceps #SecretSauce

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with a neutral/hammer grip and fully stretched arm. 
2. Elbow should be slightly in front of your hip, putting more stress on the bicep. 
3. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

Pro-Tip: Elbows don't flale, chest isn't overly activated, and you aren't rotating the weight at all. Straight up, straight down. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Relax the Chest
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
- Squeeze at the Top

Rope Curls

GOAL
Tricep sculptor  

DETAILS
1. Stand upright. Hips slightly back, proud chest. 
2. Push elbows forward.  Squeeze the rope down and extend the wrists away from each other. 
3. Keep resistance out of chest by reaching the elbows forward. 

CUES
- Squeeze from Tricep
- Proud Chest
- Hips Back

Rope Pushdown

Choose either dumbbells or a barbell for both exercises.

GOAL
Use gravity and eliminate momentum to blast those muscle fibers to shreds #Shredz

DETAILS
1. Grab those dumbbells in each hand, lay chest forward on an incline bench and scoot up to where you get a good strong position at the top. 
2. While straddling the bench, let the weight pull your arms to a dead hang. Twist your palm face down. 
3. Begin to curl the weight up, only hinging at the elbow.
4. Use your spidey focus to keep the elbow directly below the shoulder and not letting that fucker creep back. Don't shorten the range by pushing the elbow back behind your shoulder. 
5. Now squeeze that ish.

Beware: Beware of web-like material squirting out of your wrists after these curls. So worth it. 

CUES
- Squeeze
- Stationary Elbow
- Elbow Directly Below Shoulder
- Control That Negative

Reverse Spider Curls

GOAL
Isolate the elbows and avoid shoulder movement for better biceps 

DETAILS
1. Lay on an incline bench. 
2. Extend arms and grab the bar. 
3. Begin by pushing your elbows forward.
4. Squeeze from the bicep while keeping the elbow directly below or slightly in front of the shoulder.
5. Lower slowly, pushing the elbow forward as you go down. 

CUES
- Elbow Forward
- Squeeze From Bicep

EZ-Bar Spider Curl

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

GOAL
Isolate that elbow for bicep life 

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with a supine and fully stretched arm. 
2. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

CUES
- Squeeze Bicep
- Exhale on the Pull

Preacher Curl Machine

GOAL
Triceps that scream strong

DETAILS
1. Proud chest. 
2. Push hips back slightly and lean torso forward at 30 degrees. 
3. Isolate elbows by pushing them forward and squeeze from you triceps to extend.
4. Keep elbows in place and repeat. 


CUES
- Right Triangle 
- Proud Chest

V-Bars Pushdown

Do assisted chin ups if needed. Aiming for 5-12 reps.  If you don’t have a pull up bar, do bent over rows with 5-15lbs for 20 reps. 

Push ups aim for 10-20 reps but always go to failure.

GOAL
Just in case you are hanging from the edge of a cliff and have to heave your cute lil ass up #MissionImpossibleScene1 #Biceps

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep by activating your scapula and raising sternum towards ceiling. That is the start position.
2. Squeeze from biceps to raise.
3. Keep your sternum raised up to the ceiling.
4. Control the negative and repeat.

Pro-Tip: Your lower body can be strict and pointed or you can cross your legs. Play around with it and see what's comfortable. 

CUES
- Squeeze Your Biceps 
- Chest is Pointing Up Towards the Bar

Chin Up

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
