stretching good good job oh yeah nice oh yeah look at that BAM come on right here right there squeeze hard sweetheart there we go come on yeah I want six here and then after you do six I want you to stretch for ten seconds and they were gonna go 30 and then just listen to me cuz it's gonna be based on how they're going through the set but here I want six alright so we're getting our work set actually I want you to come up a little bit this way so ya see how she's a little more rounded our brown boys are stretched no but as long as it's comfortable in your chest okay I want to start with

[Music] huh huh oh right oh okay here we go guys we're doing a partial dumbbell row at the bottom notice he's straddling the bench and he shipped it over this way so he has room to row he's gonna pull the Dumbo right up his leg and actually almost pushback against his leg with the dumbbell so he can lock in what we're trying to do is we're trying to just smash this area right here all right and

slow slow and Don good job good job all right yeah all right so I slowed down to catch my breath a little bit I want to explain what we did so in the road you saw that partial range of motion where we were just kind of pulling up to our hip and pausing and flexing we did one really hard drops out there you saw the drop set somewhere around eight reps per drop and then we did one really hard set where we were reaching out and getting more of a stretch so we only did one settle nose but look how hard we worked on once that's kind of like three sets at one and then we went over here to the banded chins and we did two sets to really be on failure if you notice the range of motion was cut short toward the end but I helped Ivana get a few wraps I'll brad get a few reps so we really if you think about it we went beyond failure on both of those sets to so we're doing not a lot what I will call work sets but art works that's our quality sets one of our hard sets would be the equivalent of multiple nut sword sets so now we're going to move on to our fourth exercise this one is a sneaky one it doesn't look bad at all but it feels really really good so let's move on to that now now I want you to change the formula I want you to pull yourself up so the bars tucked to get out there you go yeah right there now lower yourself with your rhomboids in your traps that's perfect perfect you asked the angle you want oh nice well for what we're doing this is a lot of lower trap a lot of rhomboid get 225 on this one 25 reps there we go there we go come on squeeze what you're doing them sweet squeeze keep working drive those elbows to the floor and squeeze your rhomboids and traps there you go there you go come on all the way to 25 come on all the way to 25 come on you're gonna like come up halfway just come up halfway I want your reps though there we go there we go that's it good that was my inner serrano talking come on no nope nope I want this hitting the bar right here I want the bar getting clear down here so you move your body this way they're right there right there right there I'll just squeeze a bit out of your rhomboids and try squeeze them hard you can drill them drilling drill them come on come on good come on come on come on come on come on hey good job buddy good job what I want you to do is when you pull down I want you to give me a little bit of lateral spinal flexion so when you get to the bottom just a subtle subtle touch like right here and tucking your elbow in your pocket right there there you a little bit of down now there there we go there we go right there there we go drive that elbow down and all the tension right here tension squeeze let's do 15 on this set you guys are watching watch how she's getting a literal little bit of lateral spinal flexion at the end just a little shift a little shift makes a big difference drive that elbow down boom there ya good okay the other side we'll go have your own the next step okay but you should be cranking blood in there though they should be cranking blood anew good right there good yes I won your arm a little bit more out in front this way come down there that's it right there that's it right there now tuck that elbow in your pocket boom right there perfect that's exactly what I want right there perfect excellent excellent drive out elbow all right good okay we want to go up now good Brad good good doing what you yeah that just does it just when you when you do this it just does a lot of supinator your bicep it just makes your biceps work harder yeah so I like them kind of I like where they're gonna be I know that's what I'm saying that's why I like I'm like this I'm not this dirt now there is a time and a place to do that but I'm just doing a subtle like I don't want you to reach all the way around the way we're all right we're done and I didn't die we had an awesome back workout I want you guys to try this and let us know what you think any final words if you do it right you'll puke if you don't then so work hard any final words breath it was a tough one it was one of those workouts where you could probably call it low volume but every set was a quality set we didn't go quite as crazy on our last exercise because we were more focused on tension and things like that but great combination of different exercises I hope you all will give it a shot and I hope you all will follow ivana and Brett and Ivonne follow ivana at ambrette underscore Wilkin he can't even talk he's so dark I would say though if I would have seen this workout in a program I would have maybe thought it might be an easy day right but that was probably one of the most difficult back workouts that I've had in a very long time not in a bag pump that was so I know a lot of times people look at something on paper and a girl that's easy what's all in the execution yes it's all an educational John there you go thanks much guys thanks Yvonne and Bradford joining me
