Alternate Dumbbell Pec Raises

Did you know that you can target your chest muscles during alternating dumbbell raises a lot better by making a couple of small tweaks to the motion? 🤯
By bringing your arm across your body with your palms facing upwards, you're able to change what is traditionally a very effective front delt exercise into an equally as effective chest exercise!
We incorporated this Alternating Pec Raise exercise into a recent chest/triceps threshold workout by super-setting it with decline push-ups to failure. Needless to say, our members were feeling it the next morning! 💪😁

BOSU Ball Tricep Push-Ups

A great way to battle a weight lifting or fitness plateau is to tweak your favorite exercises; making them more challenging for you to perform and in a way that your body isn't yet accustomed to.
A perfect example of this would be leveraging the BOSU ball to introduce elements of balance into your exercises. A tricep push-up on even ground can be challenging enough as it is, but by bringing the BOSU ball into the equation, we're introducing the need for your body to remain stable.
Adding the BOSU ball to this exercise results in, not only a great workout for your triceps, but also tremendous benefits for your core, chest, shoulders, and other stabilizing muscles in your body that wouldn't normally be activated! 🙌

Barbell Squats

Benefits Of Bicep Curls

Most people are familiar with the bicep curl, and for good reason! It's one of the most effective bicep strengthening exercises there is.
Curls help build lean muscle mass, and when using dumbbells can help ensure symmetry on both arms. This is because you need to lift each weight independently, which helps ensure that both of your bicep muscles receive roughly equal work.
The bicep curl is also extremely efficient when you have limited time to train. The exercise not only works your biceps and forearms but also helps to target your shoulders and back muscles. Although the bicep curl is classified as an isolation exercise, it utilizes these other major muscles as stabilizers, especially when the exercise is performed while standing.

Dead Lift With Proper Form

The fastest way to increase your Deadlift is to improve your form.
By pulling more efficiently, you activate more muscles over time and can safely deadlift heavier weights.
Focusing on form FIRST (as opposed to total weight) results in more strength and muscle gains over time and, just as importantly, keeps your back and spine healthy. 🙌
▶️ For those looking to add variety to their workouts or an additional challenge; combining your deadlift with a bent-over row at the bottom of the movement (as shown at the end of this video) is a great option for deadlifting on back day!
