- Seated on an incline bench, hold two dumbbells at your shoulders.

- Lower them to the starting position ensuring you get a stretch through your chest at the bottom.

Incline dumbbell press

- Grip the bar with preferred width. 
- Bring the bar down to your mid chest and hold stretch through the chest at the bottom.  
- Push the bar straight up engaging your chest.

Flat bench press

- Set bench up so it’s just below 90 degrees (not completely upright).
- Have your hands set up in a line with your shoulders. Have a slight bend in the elbows (keep this consistent throughout movement).
- On the way up, keep shoulders back and bring hands to just inside shoulder width to maximise contraction.
- Hold contraction briefly, then slowly lower back down to full stretch.

Note: Consider arching back slightly to improve the contraction.

Seated Cable Fly

- Start with your arms at about 90 degrees and your hands shoulder-width apart.
- Whilst keeping your elbows in tight to your body, push down until the bar finishes underneath you and your arms are fully extended.
- Hold the contraction at the bottom and slowly return to starting position.

Straight bar pushdown

1. Incline Dumbbell Skull Crusher
2. Tricep Rope Pushdown

- Lying on an incline bench
- Raise dumbbells above you to full arm extension
- Hinge at the elbow lowering the dumbbells over and behind your head
- Extend your arms back up activating your triceps

Incline dumbbell skull crusher

- Stay upright and don't allow for your shoulders to overpower.
- Spread rope apart at the bottom for a deeper contraction.
- Briefly hold at the bottom to increase tension. 
- Slowly return to original position with the triceps still under tension.

Great tips! I am destroyed… a shell of a person.  I’ve actually lost the will to leave a witty comment and once again, I don’t know how I’m going to get upstairs.

Targets everything especially if you've got that mind muscle connection down. Really effective session 👌🏽

W2/D4 Legs (Quad Focused)

freaking fantastic. Upped weights and it felt great

Great exercise covering full-back muscles, app if really helpful👍

Mohammad

W3/D2 Back and Biceps

I think I get it… I pay you to tell me to do things to myself that are guaranteed to hurt (for quite a while). Genius 👍

Best chest and tricep workout I’ve done in a while! Definitely be doing this from now on

Always feel amazing after doing all the workouts! Seeing progress, I’m so happy 😇

W3/D4 Legs (Quad Focused)

Nice to end with the abusive abs super set.  My abdominals have officially switched off.  Innards may fall out unexpectedly.  This is on you.

Looks like I have natural shoulder pads. Thanks Zac ;)

Great. I am pushing myself harder every time :)

W3/D5 Shoulders + abs

Just glad that’s over.  In the words of His Holiness The Dalai Lama - “I haaaaaiiittcchhuuuu”.

You’re a wizard man. It’s freaking great

W4/D1 Legs (Glute Focused)

Best chest/bis workout. Would recommend to any 51 year old woman who doesn’t intend using her arms for a while…

10/10 best back and bicep workout I’ve done!

W4/D2 Back and Biceps

Great instruction 👍👍  Just trying to think of another name for Number Two… oh yes, 💩

W4/D3 Chest + Triceps

The leg press says “glute focus” and it’s quad day.  I’m confused ova heeeere

My legs are like jelly, best workout I’ve had in a while. Quads are rock hard thanks to this program

W4/D4 Legs (Quad Focused)

Not too sh-abby 👍 See what I did there? Also no video for dumbell seated raises and side raises… FIX IT OVA THERE

W4/D5 Shoulders + abs

I’ve hurt my back recently and can’t seem to find leg programs without barbells involved, had to improvise in some areas 🤙🏼

Solid workout 👍 I now have a bicep pump bigger than a teenage boy with a lock on his bedroom door.  I hope this comment isn’t public 😬

Pride 59 W1/D2- Back & Biceps

Hummus tell you that I do not like dips 🙅🏼‍♀️

I’m that weird person who loves leg day but this was my most enjoyable chest session yet!

Still really needing that section to add weights to track :) other then that mad pump 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Pride 59 W1/D3- Chest & Triceps

Loved it.  Actually starting to see results.  At this rate I will be ready to tackle F45 in no time!! 🤞

DOMS already, going upstairs tomorrow will not be fun 😂

Hands up who liked that workout? Nobody. Nobody can put their hands up. Now go and have a think about what you have done.

Okkkkk I underestimated this before starting 😂 The shoulder pump after that was incred 🥵🔥

Bulgarians after hip thrusts… not sure if you’re the devil after programming that 😂

Double pulsating lunges at the end? You are a monster.

Pride 59 W2/D5- Shoulders

Fav day of the week. 5 stars still but feel like it’s missing a glute med exercise - rounded back extension perhaps??? Also q re hip thrusts - I used to do constant tension but now have started doing dead stop, is there a preference for which would be better?

Threw some Bulgarians in at the end just to keep it spicy. Was a good addition, but not in the heat 🥵🤥
