Functional Friday: Mastering the Skullcrusher

Proper Technique:

1. Setup: Lie flat on a bench with your feet planted firmly on the floor. Hold a barbell, EZ curl bar, or dumbbells with a shoulder-width grip.

2. Start Position: Extend your arms straight above your chest, keeping the weights directly in line with your shoulders.

3. Ex*****on:

Keep your elbows stationary and tucked in to avoid unnecessary strain on your joints.

Slowly lower the weight toward your forehead or just behind your head in a controlled motion.

Stop when your forearms are perpendicular to the floor.

Engage your triceps and press the weight back up to the starting position.

Tips for Success:

Avoid flaring your elbows out to maintain proper tension on the triceps.

Use a weight you can control to prevent injuries and ensure proper form.

Breathe in as you lower the weight and exhale as you press it back up.

Benefits for the Triceps:

Isolation: Skullcrushers directly target the triceps, making them ideal for building strength and definition in the back of the upper arms.

Improved Push Strength: Stronger triceps contribute to better performance in pushing movements like bench presses and push-ups.

Arm Aesthetics: Helps in toning and shaping the arms, contributing to a more balanced upper body.

Incorporate skullcrushers into your routine 1–2 times a week for a more robust and toned upper body. Stay consistent, and your triceps will thank you!

Why Not Wednesday: Walk While You Can!

Snow is on the way, and there’s no time like the present to get outside for a walk! Even if the gym isn’t an option, stepping outside for some fresh air and cardio can do wonders for your body and mind. Walking isn’t just about moving your feet—it’s about taking care of yourself from the inside out.

Enjoy the crisp air, clear your mind, and give your heart a little extra love with every step. Plus, when the snow falls, you’ll be glad you made the most of these moments.

So, why not lace up those shoes and get out there today? Your future self will thank you!

💥 Functional Friday: Romanian Deadlift Edition 💥

🔥 Target Muscles: Hamstrings, glutes, lower back, and core.
🛠️ Why it’s Functional: Builds posterior chain strength for better posture, injury prevention, and powerful movement patterns.

👣 How to Perform:
1️⃣ Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell or dumbbells in front of your thighs.
2️⃣ Keep a slight bend in your knees and hinge at your hips, lowering the weight while keeping your back flat.
3️⃣ Lower until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings (typically just below your knees).
4️⃣ Engage your glutes and hamstrings to return to standing.

✅ Tips for Success:

Keep the weight close to your body throughout the movement.

Avoid rounding your back—focus on maintaining a neutral spine.

Control the movement both on the way down and up.

💡 Pro Tip: Start light to master the form, then progressively add weight for maximum gains.

🕒 Reps & Sets: 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps for strength and hypertrophy.

Let’s strengthen that posterior chain and move better in everyday life!

Functional Friday Workout: Arnold Shoulder Press

Looking to build strength and stability in your shoulders? Try adding the Arnold Shoulder Press to your workout! This variation, created by Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, combines a rotation to the classic shoulder press, which engages more muscles and enhances shoulder mobility and definition. 💪

How to Do It: 1️⃣ Start with dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing your body.
2️⃣ As you press up, rotate your palms outward until they face forward at the top of the movement.
3️⃣ Slowly reverse the motion, bringing your arms back down with control.
Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the entire movement. Exhale on the concentric contractions inhale on the eccentric.

Benefits:
🔥 Works all three parts of the deltoid (front, middle, rear).
🔥 Engages stabilizer muscles for shoulder stability.
🔥 Boosts range of motion and functional strength.

Pro Tip: Start light to get the form down, then gradually increase weight. Aim for 3 sets of 8–12 reps to build strength and endurance. Happy lifting, and make this Friday strong! 🏋️‍♂️
