The numbers listed in the “Reps” column for the first three exercises are typical of how his rep counts decrease as the weight gets heavier. LUNSFORD’S TRAINING SPLIT MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY CARDIO CUE: DUMBBELL LATERAL RAISE ACTION Stand holding a pair of light dumbbells at your sides (palms facing in) with your elbows and knees slightly bent. Maintaining only a slight bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells up and out to the sides by contracting your deltoids. When your arms reach parallel with the floor, pause for a count, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the start position. LUNSFORD’S TIP “As you lift the dumbbells up, lead with your elbows. And at the top, stop when your arms are parallel with the floor. If you go higher than that, you start using the traps. If you’re trying to incorporate your traps, that’s fine. But for me, I’m trying to work straight delts with this exercise.” FLEXONLINE.COM 137
