Skill Notes
Hammer Strikes (Dumbbell Overhead Press): Keep your core tight and press dumbbells from shoulder height to overhead, avoiding arching your back. Alternative: Use one dumbbell if needed.
Titan Pulls (Pull-Ups or Towel Rows): Grip the bar or towel securely, pulling yourself up until your chin is over the bar. Alternative: Bent-over dumbbell rows if no pull-up bar.
Anvil Punches (Push-Ups): Maintain a straight line from head to heels, lowering until elbows are at 90 degrees. Alternative: Knee push-ups for reduced intensity.
Forge Swings (Tricep Dips): Using a chair, lower yourself until elbows are at 90 degrees, then press back up. Alternative: Perform on the floor with bent knees.
