JUMP ROPE (OR CHOICE OF CARDIO)

5-PIECE CIRCUIT

BICEP CRUSHING DROPSET

BANDED BACK TRISET

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

- Support yourself using your opposite arm
- Row the dumbbell to your hip while retracting your shoulder back
- Lower with control 
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Dumbbell Single Arm Bent-Over Row

** light light weight ** 

- Sit on a bench or elevated seated 
- Bend over knees and let arms (and plates or dumbbells) rest down to your sides, palms facing in and elbows slightly bent 
- Focusing on keeping your neck long and shoulders down, lift weights up out to your sides (still a bend to your elbows) 
- Hold at the top and lead your hands out in front of you 

** This move requires LIGHT WEIGHT!! I want you to do no more than 5lbs **

Bent Over Fly into Front Hold

- 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

- Remain bent over and avoid standing up
- Focus on using your lower lats, avoid using your traps and upper back
- Keeping neck long and shoulders down, lift up and back with your elbows

Bent over dumbbell rows

5-PIECE CIRCUIT

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

Banded Forward Leaning Wide Lat Pulldown

Banded Back Triset

- 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
