SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 14 | 03/28/2021

 

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
Movements should take close to the entire minute. So each rep of the Round the Worlds for example, should be 4-5 seconds long. Move slow and try not to use momentum or ever feel like you are not under tension.

For the Around the Worlds, start with light dumbbells at your waist, palms facing out. Raise the dumbbells laterally, then keep going until they barely touch overhead. Lower back down the same way you came up.

For the Pull Overs, lay back on the bench with the crown of your head just over the edge. Holding your dumbbells above your chest with a micro-bend at the elbow, bring your arms back over your head. The DBs should get as close to the floor as possible without overarching your back. Try to pin your front ribcage down to your hips and pull your spine down into the bench throughout the entire movement. Raise the DBs back up into the air over your chest to complete the rep.

For these Front Raises, hold the dumbbells together, still with palms facing down. This time when you raise the DBs out in front of you, keep raising them until they are all the way overhead. Keep a tiny bend at the elbow throughout.

For the Pec Flys, lay back on the bench with arms extended straight up into the air with a microbend at the elbow. Keep your ribs drawn down toward your hips to avoid overarching your back as you lower the DBs out to the sides. They should be at the height of, and in line with the shoulders. Squeeze your inner pecs together to raise your arms back up into the air.
