Here are this month's workouts! We are continuing to do a progressive overload model meaning, we want to do these workouts for an extended period of time. Over the span of the next 4 weeks make sure to:
After your warm up sets, your "working" sets are what's listed (usually 2-4 sets). Your "top" set is that first working set. It's where you're STRUGGLING to get those last couple reps and maybe need a spot! If you do it right, you should have to drop weight a little bit on following sets, still "failing" at that 8-10 range.
Search Youtube for any demonstrations of unknown exercises (also available on our TIKTOK)
Tag me in your progress photos as you move along each week!

Exercise Notes:
Cable Rope Pullovers - Create Great Tension in Lats
Seated DB OHP - Keep DB outside of shoulder-width throughout the entirety of movement to maintain tension on the delts!
Seated Single Arm Horizontal Row - Sit on side of bench opposite of lat being focused on. Drive your elbow down and to your hip.
Cross-Cable Lateral Raises - Drive cables outward.
Rope Upper Back Focused Row - Set cable slightly higher than eye level. Perform as you would a face pull, but drive your elbows more at a 45 degree angle.
Mid-Cable Flys - Set cable at height of Clavicle. Trajectory of arm motion should be from clavicle height to bottom portion of sternum. Drive biceps together
Flat BB Press - Have a spot w/ these. This is a movement we need to progress on and need to have the extra confidence there with a spotter.
DB Lateral Raises - Drive DBs out toward the wall
Seated DB Front Raises - Drive DB up to Clavicle height, and slightly inward towards midline.
Cross Cable Tricep Pushdown (Away) & (Even) - Begin Two Steps away, complete rep protocol. Stand even with cables and finish strong!
Seated Calf Raises - Drive Tibia forward, DO NOT BOUNCE.
Seated DB OHP - Drive biceps to earlobe!
Standing Calf Raises - Drive Tibia Forward, have control!
Neutral Grip Pulldown - Drive elbows to hips
Rope Pullovers - Don’t rush this movement, if you are under on the rep count so be it. But, get the utmost quality reps out of this movement!
Lying Hamstring Curl - Drive pelvis into pad, do not allow butt to come up. This will remove tension from hamstrings
BB RDLs - Set active range for movement before even touching the BB. Start with BB in the rack, do not pull this from the floor, stay in active range. Simply hinge hips and create immense tension in the hamstrings.
Seated Hamstring Curl - Adjust Back pad to where the backside of your knee joint is snug against seat pad. Then press the top pad as tight as possible against the quad. Leg pad between mid shin and ankle joint. Press yourself into the back pad as you curl the weight.
