Proper Butt-Ups

Begin a pushup position but with your elbows on the ground and resting on your forearms. Your arms should be bent at a 90 degree angle.

Arch your back slightly out rather than keeping your back completely straight.

Raise your glutes toward the ceiling, squeezing your abs tightly to close the distance between your ribcage and hips. The end result will be that you’ll end up in a high bridge position. Exhale as you perform this portion of the movement.

Lower back down slowly to your starting position as you breathe in. Tip: Don't let your back sag downwards.

Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Proper Flutter Kicks

On a flat bench lie facedown with the hips on the edge of the bench, the legs straight with toes high off the floor and with the arms on top of the bench holding on to the front edge.

Squeeze your glutes and hamstrings and straighten the legs until they are level with the hips. This will be your starting position.

Start the movement by lifting the left leg higher than the right leg.

Then lower the left leg as you lift the right leg.

Continue alternating in this manner (as though you are doing a flutter kick in water) until you have done the recommended amount of repetitions for each leg. Make sure that you keep a controlled movement at all times. Tip: You will breathe normally as you perform this movement.

Proper High Cable Curls

Stand between a couple of high pulleys and grab a handle in each arm. Position your upper arms in a way that they are parallel to the floor with the palms of your hands facing you. This will be your starting position.

Curl the handles towards you until they are next to your ears. Make sure that as you do so you flex your biceps and exhale. The upper arms should remain stationary and only the forearms should move. Hold for a second in the contracted position as you squeeze the biceps.

Slowly bring back the arms to the starting position.

Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Proper Brachialis-SMR

Lie on your side, with your upper arm against the foam roller. The upper arm should be more or less aligned with your body, with the outside of the bicep pressed against the foam roller.

Raise your hips off of the floor, supporting your weight on your arm and on your feet. Hold for 10-30 seconds, and then switch sides.

Proper Alternate Incline Dumbbell Curl

Sit down on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand being held at arms length. Tip: Keep the elbows close to the torso.This will be your starting position.

While holding the upper arm stationary, curl the right weight forward while contracting the biceps as you breathe out. As you do so, rotate the hand so that the palm is facing up. Continue the movement until your biceps is fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a second as you squeeze the biceps. Tip: Only the forearms should move.

Slowly begin to bring the dumbbell back to starting position as your breathe in.

Repeat the movement with the left hand. This equals one repetition.

Continue alternating in this manner for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Proper Barbell Curl

Stand up with your torso upright while holding a barbell at a shoulder-width grip. The palm of your hands should be facing forward and the elbows should be close to the torso. This will be your starting position.

While holding the upper arms stationary, curl the weights forward while contracting the biceps as you breathe out. Tip: Only the forearms should move.

Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a second and squeeze the biceps hard.

Slowly begin to bring the bar back to starting position as your breathe in.
