The document outlines a series of workout routines that focus on full body training and include exercises for both major muscle groups as well as isolation movements.

Exercises mentioned include: bench press, lat pulldown, rows, curls, triceps extensions, squats, lunges, calf raises, planks, and more.

Tips provided include squeezing the targeted muscles to move the weight, controlling the tempo of lifts, emphasizing the stretch position, bracing the core, and avoiding lower back rounding.

Notes
Set up a comfortable arch, quick pause on the chest and
explode up on each rep
Shoulder blades still retracted and depressed. Slight arch in
upper back. Zero leg drive.
Start with your elbows in front of you and palms facing in.
Rotate the dumbbells so that your palms face forward as you
press.
Brace with your non-working arm, squeeze your pecs by
pressing the cable across your body
Hold a pec stretch for 30 seconds. The stretch should be held
at about a 7/10 intensity.
Think about swinging the cable out and up as if "drawing a
sword" from your side
Do the second half of the ROM for pressdowns ("the squeeze")
and the first half of the ROM for overhead extensions ("the
stretch")
Extend your triceps with your arm more out to the side than a
regular pressdown. Feel the stretch as the cable moves across
your torso
Do 4 feeder sets of 10 reps by gradually building the weight up
from set to set. Set 1 is pretty light (RPE 4-5). Set 2 is a little
heavier (RPE 6-7). Set 3 is a little heavier again (RPE 7-8). Set 4
is your hard set: try to hit failure at 10 reps on this last set.
After hitting failure at ~10 reps, do a dropset. Strip the weight
back ~30-50% and do another 5 reps with nice and controlled
technique
Use 3 different grips for the 3 working sets (ideally going from
wider to closer)
Do DB lat pullovers, but cut out the top half of the ROM (stay
entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Hold a lat stretch for 30 seconds. The stretch should be held at
about a 7/10 intensity.
1st set: low-to-high
2nd set: mid-range
3rd set: high-to-low
Focus on contracting your biceps, minimize torso momentum
Do preacher curls, but cut out the top half of the ROM (stay
entirely in the stretched aspect of the lift)
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Drop the weight by ~25% from your top set. 2 second pause.
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Maintain a neutral lower back, set your hips back, don't allow
your spine to round
Take medium strides, minimize the amount you push off your
rear leg
Focus on squeezing your hamstrings to move the weight
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Hold a plate or DB to your chest and crunch hard!

1.5x shoulder width grip, pull your chest to the bar


Use ~45° incline and a grip width just outside shoulder width

Kroc rows are basically just a dumbbell row with mild cheating
and a slightly more upright posture. Don't be afraid to go
heavy and use straps if your grip is limiting

First 5 reps: 5-second lowering phase, last 15 reps constant


tension (no pausing at the bottom or top)
Curl across your body with your arm out to the side at ~60°
Place your hands close together on the ground so that they
form a diamond shape and do as many pushups as possible
with a smooth tempo
Brace your lats, chest tall, pull the slack out of the bar before
lifting
Think about doing a high-hip conventional deadlift with a slight
bend in the knees
Medium width feet placement on the platform, don't allow
your lower back to round
Keep your hips straight, do Nordic ham curls if no GHR
machine
Control the weight with a 3-4 second negative
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Don't swing your legs at the bottom, minimize momentum,
tuck your knees towards your chest if lifting your legs straight
out is too challenging

Notes
Set up a comfortable arch, quick pause on the chest and
explode up on each rep
Set the bench at a 45-60 degree incline, touch the bar to your
upper chest with control
Lean away from the cable. Focus on squeezing your delts.

Do both arms at once, resist the negative


Lean slightly forward, lock your elbow behind your torso
(shoulder hyperextension)
Pull your elbows down against your sides
Initiate the movement by squeezing your shoulder blades
together, pull to your lower chest, avoid using momentum
Swing the weight "out", not "back"
Arc the bar "out" not "up", focus on squeezing your biceps
You can use slight momentum on the concentric, but control
the eccentric with your elbows stationary
Sit back and down, keep your upper back tight to the bar
Maintain a neutral lower back, set your hips back, don't allow
your spine to round
Focus on squeezing your quads to make the weight move.
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Round your back as you crunch

Use ~1.5x shoulder width grip. Add weight or use assistance as


needed to hit RPE. Keep form as consistent as possible.
Bring the dumbbells all the way down, keep your torso upright
Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together, drive your
elbows down and back.
Tuck your elbows at 45°, lean your torso forward 15°, shoulder
width or slightly wider grip
Focus on squeezing your lateral delt to move the weight
Alternate arms with each curl: do 1 rep with your right arm,
one rep with your left arm. Repeat until you reach 4-6 reps
with each arm.

Focus on squeezing your triceps to move the weight


Allow your knees to come forward (past your toes), focus the
tension on your quads
Do 4-6 reps with each leg (10-12 total strides). Straps may be
helpful if your grip becomes limiting.
Focus on squeezing your hamstrings to move the weight
Press all the way up to your toes, stretch your calves at the
bottom, don't bounce
Hold a plate or DB to your chest and crunch hard!

as many reps as possible. You should be in the range of 10-20+
