SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 20 | 05/09/2021
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
Do all 3 sets of each movement before moving on to the next one. Go LIGHT on the lying lat raises and front raises. Each movement should be slow and controlled with a 1 second pause at the top.
Z PRESS
You will sit on the floor with legs extended in front of you. Sit up very tall with the DBs on the shoulders with elbows high. Keep the rib cage down and belly tight. Press straight up until your elbows are locked out with biceps by the ears. Bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.
UPRIGHT ROW
Stand up tall with a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your chest up and belly tight as you pull the dumbbells up to your chest. They should stay close to your body. Elbows shouldn't really go higher than your shoulders. Lower back to your waist with control.
LYING LAT RAISE
Lay on your side on a bench or the floor with your head supported by your bottom arm. Holding a dumbbell out in front of in your top hand, raise your arm until it is perpendicular to the floor. Keep a slight bend in your elbow the whole time and try to keep your hips from shifting during the lift.
DB FRONT RAISE
Both arms move together. Allow a slight bend in the elbow and avoid using any "kipping" or bouncing to move the weight. You will raise your arms up in front of you with wrists facing down until arms are parallel to the ground.
