SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 36 | 08/29/2021
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 be slow and controlled with 1 second pauses on both ends so keep that in mind when choosing your weights. Stay engaged the whole time.
CLOSE GRIP DB BENCH PRESS
Lie down on the bench with the dumbbells on your chest, palms facing toward each other, elbows tight to the body. Draw your shoulder blades down into the bench and keep them pulled back even as you press up. Keep the DBs closer than shoulder width apart and press straight up until your arms are fully extended and perpendicular to the floor. Lower the DBs with control back to your chest.
DUMBBELL FLYS
Lie face up on the bench with arms extended straight up in the air. Keep your belly tight, avoid arching your back as you lower your arms out wide. You can keep a very slight bend in your elbows. Return the DBs back to your starting position.
SKULL CRUSHER
Keep the shoulders back and down and bend only from the elbow - bringing the bar or dumbbells close to your "skull". Really extend the elbow hard at the top!
WIDE GRIP PUSH UP
tTake your hands out a good bit wider than shoulder width. Maintain a rigid plank position. Lower your chest and thighs to the floor. Keep everything tight and press straight back up until your arms are straight.
DIAMOND PUSH UP
Place your hands together with thumbs and index fingers touching to form a diamond shape.
Do push ups from your knees or elevate your hands if you need to, in order to keep your body tight and get that full range of motion!
