Upper Body Warm-up for Lifting 🏋🏼‍♀️💥(Save this post!!!)

Sliding in with one of the most common requests we get: warm-up ideas!! 💃💃💃

1 Round:
• 2-5 min Cardio (bike, row, ski, run, jump rope)
• PVC Pass Throughs: 5 Reps
• Around the World PVC Pass Throughs: 5 Reps/direction
• Shoulder Opener Hold: 30 sec/side
• Barbell Mash Armpit + On Top of Shoulder: 30 sec/side
• Strict + Behind the Neck Press: 5 Reps Each
• Inch Worm to Push-up: 5 Reps

Tips on Warm-Ups:
1️⃣ Get Warm:
We want to get warm + get our body temp up before we cruise into our workout and/or lift heavy things. Get in ~3-5 min of cardio in whatever way you enjoy (jog, jump rope, bike, row, ski erg..)

2️⃣ Keep It Short & Sweet:
There is such a thing as warming up *too* much.

Think “Goldie Locks & the 3 Bears” - we want to warm-up just enough to get warm, be able to get into proper positions when lifting, and then get to werkkkk. 5-15 min total is likely plenty 🚀

3️⃣ Warm Up Your Lifts:
Don’t forget to hit some warm-up reps/sets!

Aka: if programming says “3 Sets x 10-12 Reps”, you’ll probably want ~2-4 warm up sets that increase in weight each set.

For Example: DB Bench Press 3 Sets x 10–12 @ 35 lbs
10 Reps @ 15’s lbs
5 Reps @ 25’s lbs
3-4 Reps @ 30 lbs
3 Work Sets x 10-12 Reps @ 35 lbs

Love lifting, strength training, + being active?🏋🏼‍♀️

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most studied sports supplements. If you love being active, you’ll likely see positive benefits from taking it 🤩🤩

Creatine may help you:
• Gain + build muscle
• Increase strength + recover better
• Improve power output + performance during workouts
• Improve body comp (via building more muscle)
• Also lots of studies regarding positive cognitive benefits from supplementing creatine!

We DO definitely get some creatine from the foods we eat (such as meat + seafood). But if you want to maximize your time and energy spent working out, we can’t recommend enough to supplement creatine monohydrate daily.

Tips on Supplementing:
• No need to “load it” or cycle on/off it
• Guidelines generally suggest ~3-5g/day
• Doesn’t super matter WHEN you take it, just that you consistently take it (training or not)
• Creatine Monohydrate. No need to spend $$ on fancy/expensive formulations. CM is proven and super affordable. Just buy whatever is rated best on Amazon!

You might retain a little more water while supplementing with creatine, but it’ll likely become unnoticeable over time.

No current research indicates that creatine supplementation might be connected with hair loss, so no stress there // that’s a popular myth.

Don’t forget to drink a ton of water during the day ♥️
