JUMP ROPE (OR OTHER CARDIO) 

BAND ASSISTED PULL-UPS 

CABLE BO SINGLE ARM PULL
CABLE BICEP CURLS (STANDING) 
CABLE BICEP HOLD WITH ALTERNATING RELEASE 

BARBELL BENT OVER ROW 

SEATED BENT OVER FLIES
LOWER HALF, UPPER HALF, FULL RANGE HAMMER CURLS 

BACK & BICEP STRETCH

• you can perform whatever cardio you’d like! I like to jump rope during upper body days and is a convenient option! But anything will do : treadmill, biking, jumping jacks, row machine, etc 

Take breaks when necessary but aim for 5 minutes of cardio warm up

Cardio - Jump rope

• Lie your upper back on the Swiss ball, squeezing your glutes and maintain a straight line from your knees to your shoulders
• Place a heavier dumbbell in your hands (maybe 15+ lb dumbbell)
• Keep a slight bend to you elbows and make sure your upper back is pressed into the bench or floor 
• Slowly lower the dumbbell back and behind your head - you should feel your outer and upper back
• Slowly pull the dumbbell back to starting position

Lying Overhead Pullover (Stability Ball)

This one is a great drop set ! Be sure to choose a weight that you can perform around 30-35 total reps for the 3 combined exercises. 

The first two moves involve your shoulders and are a bit further out from your midline so remember light weight is recommended and the perfect amount of intensity

- Seated with dumbbell in each hand, bend your elbows for a 90 degree angle and tucked into the sides of your body 
- Hold dumbbells with palms facing up, thumbs will be facing out 
- Keeping elbows close to your body, rotate the dumbbells outward til they reach your sides then press the dumbbells out and up (your arms will almost be straight but still keep a bend to your elbows) 
- Slowly reverse the movement back to starting position

Seated External Rotation Press

- In a seated position with dumbbells in hands, raise arms out to your sides until they are parallel with each other and perpendicular to your midline (spine) 
- Palms facing up, curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders - keeping your upper arm steady

Scarecrow Curl

- Seated with dumbbell in each hand and thumbs facing the ceiling, move hands out wide 
- Curl dumbbells up to your shoulders and then slowly release back down to starting position

Wide Hammer Curl

Bicep Crushing Dropset

3 moves. Complete each move back to back with the only break is getting into the next position. If you need to drop the weight (choose a thinner band), go for it ! This will be a drop set / burnout triset

- Sit on Chair or Stability Ball with the end of the band in each hand 
- Thumbs facing inward 
- Pull ends of band back and in line with your head - elbows are leading the way! 
**Hold the squeeze for 2-3 seconds 



** For reference I’m using the grey band here

Banded Wide Face Pull

- Lead with your elbows as your bend your arms and pull the band toward you - elbows out and shoulders down
- Back should be upright/ slightly back and core engaged

Banded Wide Diagonal Pulldown

- Lean forward with arms mostly straight
- Look down at the floor to keep neck long and shoulders relaxed
- Pull both ends of the bands outward and back
- Hold 2 seconds at the bottom and then slowly release

Banded Forward Leaning Wide Lat Pulldown

Banded Back Triset

• Seated and bent forward, light plates in hands, palms facing inward
• Bend at your elbows 45 degrees max 
• Lift plates up and out to the side, keeping shoulders down and neck relaxed 
• slowly relax your arms back to starting position

Seated Bent Over Flies

- Thumbs facing upward and palms facing inward, hold onto dumbbells at your side (you can be seated OR standing) 
- Starting point is your arms resting straight down at your sides 
- Keep neck long and shoulders down
- Squeeze your biceps (front of your upper arms) and bring dumbbell up HALF WAY then lower back down to starting position

Lower Half Hammer Curl

- Thumbs facing upward and palms facing inward, hold onto dumbbells at waist level (elbows bent 90 degrees)
- Keep neck long and shoulders down 
- Pull dumbbells up toward shoulders and lower back down to where your elbows are 90 degrees 

They’ll be shorter reps but it’s meant to be this way for the circuit

Upper Half Hammer Curl

- You see how hard these final 7 reps are if you’re doing them correctly AND with appropriate weight. Start with lighter weight and test out completing all 21 reps of this circuit !

Full Range Hammer Curl

Superset

- Holding onto a stationary surface
- Hinge forward until your torso is parallel to the ground
- Sit back, stretching your back and shoulders

Static pole stretch

- Clasp hands behind back and open up through the shoulders and pecs
- This move can be done seated or standing

Shoulder + chest stretch

- Starting on your knees (butt up in the air) and with a flat back, reach your hands straight out in front of you
- Press into the ground to feel your chest stretch and back elongate

High Butt Child’s Pose

Back & Bicep Stretch
