[music intro]
Hey guys, Jeff Cavaliere from athleanx.com!
Back to you this week with a new twist on a couple of exercises done on one time.
You sort of know that I like the bands training and with this Athlean Elastics Bands, this
tine using the smaller size of the band, you could do some pretty cool things.
But, one concept that is a big part of AthleanX is something that I like to call like Muscle
Fire Fusion, right?
So what I mean by that is that sometimes you can get better results if you coordinate muscles
that usually should fire together or work together.
So, the sum of the parts of the working muscles is gonna equal more than he total.
So, we have a combined effort that's gonna give you more work based upon the individual
muscles groups that are contributing.
So, if you're looking at this week's exercise, we're gonna combine the back and the shoulder
together in one movement and I think that'll have an additive effect that's better that
what you can have worth either one of this exercise on its own.
So the reason being is that if you look behind here, the back and the shoulder don't move
independent of each other at all.
Doing the shoulder plate right here, you're gonna have a lot of movement in order to get
full elevation of your shoulder you'll have to have movement of your shoulder blade in
your back as you come up.
So, working shoulders and back in the same exercise is a very natural thing, so what
we're gonna do here is combine a fore raise for your shoulder and a role for your back
using these bands.
Basically all you have to do is set this thing up here.
This in the middle, and I have some clumsy dumbbells here so it's a little bit, is not
as easy to set up as these things, but you just grab regular dumbbells, grab your bands.
Now, if we're gonna come up here, we've got top of the front shoulder raise to work on
our shoulders.
Well, I'm gonna have you hold it up there the whole time, ground yourself and then come
back and work your back.
So, you got yourself up, shoulders, back.
Keep them up the whole time.

Now, keep it up here the whole time.
My shoulders are on fire.
You could do it while you come down, up and then back.
Now you've got a shoulder raise, you even got a pull down effect if I come down a little
bit further like that so now we're working, you know, like a straight up pull down or,
a tricep push down, up and roll.
Yu can really integrate all the muscles on your body into one exercise, just with these
bands.
So, again, try not to train muscles in isolation to each, because the fact of the matter is
they don't fire on isolation.
So, AthleanX is all about taking muscles and making them work together to get a bigger
effect in the end, and in this case, more lean muscles growth, and you know, burning
more calories, burning more fat.
Guys, if you haven't already head to athleanx.com, there will be actually a new version of the
site coming out pretty soon, so we're be able to interact a little bit more . I'm excited
about that, but the fact of the matter is, the crux of this site is the AthleanX Training
Program.
You wanna go over there and grab that now.
Learn how to do all this different techniques to add more variety to your workouts and get
a little bit more out of your workouts starting today.
Thanks guys, we'll be back here next week with some more videos.
Thanks a lot!
