Pole Push

Today you'll learn 2 different variations of this exercise. Use them both, as each one targets slightly different muscles. If it feels too easy, you can increase the intensity by standing farther away from the pole.

Suggested sets and reps: 8-15 reps, 2-4 sets, 3 times per week.

T.M.G. TRICEPS / PECTORALS / ANTERIOR DELTOIDS / ABDOMINALS

NO POLE OPTIONS:

• Dumbbells or EZ curl bar - Choose the dumbbells if you have one arm that is stronger than the other. You can also do this one arm at a time with dumbbells. If you don't have a bench, use a fit ball.

• Triceps cable pull - Just like above, this exercise targets only the triceps. Use a rope, V handle, or single handle. Again, this targets the triceps, but you'll need to use your core to stabilize!

• Bent over triceps extension - You can use a rope, EZ bar, or single handle attachment.

• EZ bar

• Triceps extension machine - This only targets the triceps.
