PHYT Tip: The Dumbbell Pullover

A lot of questions arise on which muscle group is the main focus for the pullover. Fact is, change your form and you can focus on either the Lats or the Pecs. Keep in mind, either way targets both muscle groups, just one method targets a specific muscle more than the other.

• Lat Focus Dumbbell Pullovers. Keep elbows flared slightly wider than outer shoulder.

• Pec Focus Dumbbell Pullovers. Keep elbows in line directly above shoulders without the flare.

You can alternate between both methods in your set to well-round your workout. Let us know how it works for you in the comments!

Many people feel as if they are destined to see results they want just by simply.... showing up. Anybody that has put in the work, KNOWS that it takes more. You’ve got to want it, sweat for it, stride for it. Your goals are there to test you and your will to accomplish them. We have one rule to aid in helping you accomplish it....Work. Harder. So get out and GET PHYT Boise! Tap that like button if you want to see our decal design!

Who doesn’t love a great run outdoors? As temperatures drop, running outside becomes more difficult. Be sure to keep eyes open for icy surfaces on your path ahead! This is especially important at areas such as the Boise Greenbelt that is tucked at the river side! Pro tip: If you’re looking to build stamina in your cardio routine, be sure to prolong your specific activity for at least 15-20 minutes. Quick and short cardio activity is a great warmup, but if your looking to push your limits and raise the bar, push yourself longer! You WILL see progress! Pride Post:

Anything that is truly worth it, whether it be reaching your fitness goals, achieving a dream, or discovering yourself, will take time. Results aren't noticed overnight. They won't appear after a week, nor a month. Seasons will change and years will pass to provide a seed for these goals to blossom into what you envisioned. Small steps lead to miles of discovery. Set goals EVERY DAY. Over time, these goals will compound and the progress you desire will reveal itself. Step forward, with pride, and don't stress the progress.

While attacking your workouts today, whether it be early A.M. or late P.M., stop and think. Why are you at the gym? What is it you are trying to accomplish? Are you doing everything in your power to succeed? Use these thoughts to fuel your fire in an exhausting workout! You will be surprised on how much further you push yourself! Think it, believe it, achieve it!

Hitting the gym not only improves physical strength, but also promotes overall mental wellness. It combats depression, cultivates self discipline, boosts confidence, and builds character allowing you to truly be "YOU." Also, studies show that working out with a partner increases your desire to go to the gym and escalates results to nearly 50%! Whether it be your significant other, or best friend, go GETPHYT, together.

It's the peak of the week! Are you still giving it your best shot? Are you still motivated?

If the day has really got the best of you today, don't let that ruin your momentum for the gym! It is only, YOU, your ambition, your tunes, and the weights once you step foot in that gym. So get out, and GETPHYT.

Rise up. Accomplish. Succeed. The Pull-Up. The ultimate predecessor for a toned and symmetrical back and upper body. Rise above that bar, reach the roof. If you can't, don't be shy. Hop on the Assisted Pull-Up Machine and set the weight setting at 1/2 your body weight and progress from there. Do this with your warm-ups 3 times a week and you will be above the bar in no time. Good luck, get up, and GETPHYT! #

Take the time to do that extra 20 minutes of cardio. Find the strength to finish that last set. When you don't feel like exercising, use that little voice in your head telling you not to go, as motivation to jog to the gym and hit the gym harder than you've ever hit it before.


Do not let yourself down. Your only real responsibility in this life is to fulfill your life purpose and create the most beautiful and meaningful life you can. You can only do that by being true to yourself and not letting yourself down.
