FULL INSTRUCTIONAL PUSH WORKOUT AT THE NEW GYM

Decided to mix it up today a little bit so I started off this workout with incline smith machine bench press. It’s not the end of the world if you use the smith machine once in a while just to switch it up a little bit, but don’t do it every single workout. Always start off your chest workouts with a compound incline movement, I can’t stress this enough, nowhere have you seen someone with an overdeveloped upper chest so it’s very important to put a little bit more focus on this muscle. I did 4 working sets of 6-10 reps.

Moving on, I did  behind the neck barbell shoulder press. Be really careful with this exercise. I did 4 sets of 8 reps. Doing the exercise behind the neck, it also does a great job on your traps as well.

Exercise number 3, flat dumbbell press, I did 4 sets of 8 reps.

Exercise number 4, high to low cable chest flyes. 3 sets of 10 reps. When performing this exercise your arms should be as straight as possible and you should bring your hands together at the end of the movement. I’ve seen so many people doing this exercise with their arms bent at a 90 degree angle.

Exercise number 5, dumbbell upright rows. Not only is it a great exercise for your shoulders, but also for your traps. 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Next up we have a super-set, doing EZ-bar rear delt rows with dumbbell lateral raises. You can perform the first exercise with a barbell instead of an EZ-bar but unlike the regular barbell row, here you’ll bring the bar to your middle part of the chest. Your grip is also going to be wider than with the regular rows and you won’t go crazy with the weight. 3 sets of 10 reps each exercise.

Moving on to triceps, I only did one exercise focusing more on the long head because throughout the pushing movements it’s the least activated. Unilateral cable tricep kickbacks, a great isolation exercise for your triceps and I highly suggest trying it out and switching from dumbbells to cables. 3 sets of 10-12 reps each arm.

Complete SHOULDER Demolition Workout WIth Only ONE Dumbbell + Posing Motivation

We’re starting off this workout with exercise #1: Unilateral Arnold press. Again, if you have two dumbbells you can perform this exercise with both arms simultaneously. You can perform this exercise while standing as well. Grab a dumbbell and by rotating your wrist and elbow, press the weight up. This exercise hits all 3 heads of the shoulder: The front, lateral and the posterior head. Also, like almost every other shoulder exercise, this one hits your traps as well. You’ll perform 4 sets of 8-10 reps per set, one arm at a time. If the dumbbell you have is too light for you to perform 8-10 reps, do the movement slowly as much as you can while keeping the same rep range.

Exercise #2: Unilateral upright dumbbell rows. Again, 4 sets of 8-10 reps each shoulder. Like with the previous exercise, this one hits your traps as well.

Exercise #3: Dumbbell lateral raises. 3 sets of 10 reps each side. This exercise hits the lateral head of the deltoids and can also be performed while standing.

Exercise #4: Unilateral dumbbell posterior head raises. 3 sets of 10-12 reps each side. This exercise targets the rear deltoid.

Exercise #5: Front dumbbell raises with a hammer grip. 3 sets of 10-12 reps. This exercise is for the front head of the shoulder.

You’re Thinking About Quitting? WATCH THIS! (My Biggest Motivation)

I’ll try to motivate you by fear, the fear of wondering “what if” in the future. Imagine yourself 5 years from now wondering: ” What if I continued working out 5 years ago? ” ” What if I didn’t quit? ” ” What if I continued playing the guitar? ” ” What if I continued working on my business? ” ” Where would I be now, how would my physique look like, how much money would I have, how successful would I be? “

These are the things that motivate me, not disappointing my future self, that is the goal! It doesn’t help at all when someone tries to motivate you by telling you how you’re perfect, you can achieve anything, the world is yours, and all that stuff.
