SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 10 | 02/28/2021

 

Street Parking Suns Out Guns Out is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are great for those interested in adding in more work building strength and stamina through more isolation type movements in the upper body.

We typically suggest these workouts be added in as more of a "finisher" after the main workout that day. They can also easily be added to many of the Power, Oly, or Butts and Guts workout - to make a session all its own!

Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule - and make sure to check out the daily write up for A, B, and C to see where these workouts fit in best each week!

COACHES NOTES
Don't try to rush this! Each round should take about 6-8 minutes. All sets should be unbroken except for diamond push ups so rest as needed between movements keeping that in mind.

For the skull crushers, lie back on a bench and keep the shoulders back and down. Start with both arms extended vertically toward the ceiling. Bend only at the elbow with one arm and lower the dumbbell just outside of the ear. Then straighten your am fully before repeating the movement with your other arm. 24 reps will be 12 on each arm.

The single arm no bench bent rows start in the bent over row position with both arms extended straight down with a dumbbell in each hand. Perform 8 rows with your right arm first, drawing your elbow alongside your torso as you raise the DB to your ribcage. Then, perform 8 rows with the left arm.

For wide out tricep extensions, lie on your back on a bench or the floor. With one DB in each hand, rest the DBs on your chest with your elbows bent and out wide like wings. Extend your arms fully, then bring the DBs back to the chest.

Perform these diamond push ups with your hands together - pointer fingers and thumbs touching to create a "diamond" shape - beneath your chest. Keep your body tight and shoot for sets of at least 8. Go to knees if needed.

For standing tricep extensions, use one heavy or two lighter dumbbells starting behind the head. Keep the biceps by the ears, belly tight as you lock the elbows. Control the lower back down.
