Get Strong And Sexy Arms You'll Be Itching To Show Off!
Improve Your Pull Ups And Push Ups Too!
Look And FEEL Amazing As You Build Strength And Prevent Injury!
This means including in our workouts some of that mobility and activation work we like to skip in favor of the lifting we consider more "valuable."
But skipping this mobility and activation work may be what is holding us back.
We often think that to get better results we need to push harder. We need to do MORE upper body workouts. Or even lift heavier weights.
However, simply trying to do MORE strength work if the right muscles aren't working may be part of the issue and even holding us back!
If you're ready to build strength while avoiding injury, and improve those push ups and pull ups in the process, you need to take a 4 step approach to your training routine.
A 4 step process of Foam Rolling, Stretching, Activation and Strengthening!
Foam Roll, Stretch, Activate and Strengthen!
Use these 4 steps to build a sexy and strong upper body that not only looks amazing but helps you prevent injury!
Because of our modern lifestyle, we spend way too much time in flexion.
It's why we end up with neck or shoulder pain from trying to improve our pull ups or press overhead.
And all too often we IGNORE the fact that we feel these aches and pains before they become a true problem. We let them add up!
Ever feel your neck when doing a dumbbell back row? Or maybe a little shoulder twinge during a push up or pull up?
Foam Rolling or Self-Myofascial Release helps you relax overactive and tight muscles.
Because we spend so much time hunched over, with our shoulders shrugged, often foam rolling our chest and upper traps as well as our lats is key to help us relax those overactive muscles and restore proper shoulder mobility.
Often, if we do even roll out, we ONLY focus on muscles where the pain is.
But we have to remember that sometimes where the pain is, isn't the problem.
And it's also important to note that a muscle may "feel" tight and like it needs to be stretched because it is actually OVERSTRETCHED!
Like the muscles of our upper back can feel tight because the are being overstretched due to our rounded shoulders and forward hunched posture!
That is why it is key we first roll out to relax overactive and tight muscles so we can then stretch to improve our flexibility, mobilize our joints and further work to restore muscles to their proper length-tension relationships.
If we don't first improve our mobility, our body may seek out mobility from other joints, which is why we end up with elbow pain if our wrists or shoulders aren't mobile!
So after we foam roll, we must stretch!
Stretching, and especially dynamic stretching, prior to our workouts, not only helps us relax tight muscles to improve our flexibility, but also helps us restore proper joint mobility so we can properly engage the CORRECT muscles during movements.
If your mobility is limited, you risk compensating.
For instance, if your shoulder mobility is limited and you can't raise your arms up toward the ceiling for an overhead press, you will arch your back instead to compensate.
This can lead to lower back pain or even you shrugging and causing neck pain to help your body repeat the movement you are asking of it.
AKA your overhead press that is meant to work your shoulders may actually just be putting you at risk for rotator cuff or neck pain (or even lower back pain)!
So if you want to be able to lift heavier, do more pull ups, improve your push ups, or really work your upper body to build lean, strong arms, you first need to improve your flexibility and mobility so you aren't wasting those compound movements by working the wrong muscles!
Plus, a proper dynamic warm up can not only help you prevent injury, but it can help make sure your body is warm and ready to work so you can go hard from that first rep of your workout! Too often we waste half our workout "warming up!"
But it isn't enough just to start to loosen up tight muscles. We must then get the underactive muscles activated and working or we will just tighten back up and keep on overusing those smaller muscles not meant to carry the load.
That is why activation is the third part of the process!
Activation is different than strengthening.
It is the more isolated movements you use first to really focus on those underactive muscles to establish the mind-body connection. You aren't concerned with going heavy but instead are focused on being able to FEEL the muscles working!
Activation moves are done for higher reps often with lighter loads or resistances, or even your own bodyweight, so that you can focus on that muscle contraction.
The point is to feel the right muscles working with these simple, isolated moves BEFORE your workouts so you can make sure the right muscles are working DURING your workouts.
They help you make sure that your back is helping you to perform the pull up or row, instead of your arms doing all of the work.
They help you make sure your shoulders are stable during push ups so that you don't shrug and hurt your neck.
Activation moves are often the MISSING PIECE from our workouts that help us keep that flexibility and mobility we work hard to improve with our stretching and foam rolling sessions.
And they make sure we go into our workouts ready to get the most out of those compound moves!
By activating FIRST, you make sure the RIGHT muscles are working when you do your dumbbell rows or your bench press so that the muscles AUTOMATICALLY engage and you don't risk injury as you work hard to build a strong and sexy upper body!
So once you've done your activation, you then have to include strength training moves to build that lean muscle that looks oh so good in a tank top!
While the bulk of our strengthening routines, or strength workouts, should be made up of compound moves, even if we want to tone our arms, some isolation moves should also be included.
However, don't get caught up in trying to do only isolation moves for those "problem areas."
Compound moves are key to build functional strength, burn body fat and build muscle. Even hybrid moves, that work more muscle groups at once, can be key if you are short on time.
You want to maximize the time you have though by working as many large muscle groups at once.
What's Included In The Arm Burner Program?
Your Guide To An Upper Body Training Program That Meets YOUR Needs!
And that is why I created the Arm Burner Program!
I wanted to create a program that gave you over 700 workout options to meet your specific needs while also explaining the WHAT, WHY and HOW behind proper upper body training.
I didn't want just another 6 week program that after you were done you were wondering "What's next?"
I wanted you to have something that allowed you to adjust your programming as your goals changed and you progressed.
I wanted to provide a program that would help you avoid injury, reach goals like that first full pull up or push up and even get the lean, toned upper body you were looking for!
And I didn't just want to tell you what to do and when to do it, I also wanted you to understand WHY certain things worked and how you could adjust things to meet your needs!
Need to modify around injury or based on your current fitness level? I explain how to modify moves.
Want to achieve that first full pull up or push up? I provide not only workouts but also all of the tips to help you dial in your training!
Not sure how often to train or what moves to include for your needs? I break down the function of the main muscles of your upper body and explain what types of moves are key!
So how can a program do all of this? How can I provide you with that many workouts and help you meet your specific needs while also teaching you how to design upper body training routines that WORK?
By creating the Arm Burner CARDS!
This is not your normal e-book or 6 week program.
This is PHYSICAL CARDS you can take with you anywhere that easily fit in your purse, suitcase or gym bag!
These cards provide you with over 700 unique workout designs you can create based on your specific needs.
Remember the 4 parts of a perfect training routine I mentioned?
Foam Rolling, Stretching, Activation and Strengthening?
The Arm Burner cards provide you with series for each part of a proper training program so that you can combine them in a variety of ways to reach your specific goals.
This gives you options based on what you need that progression or day. If you even can't get to the gym for your usual workout, you can easily pull together cards for something at home to keep you on track and moving forward.
And if you aren't sure where to start with creating your own workouts, I provide done-for-you options and schedules. Plus, I explain HOW you can learn to create your own so you know you're creating workouts that will work!

I even explain how you can get more out of your workouts to help you really focus on those problem areas.
While we can't spot reduce in the way we often think we can, with thousands of isolation moves, we CAN dial in our workouts to help us really focus on those stubborn areas that never seem to change no matter how hard we work!
