Ready for some heavy lifting? Every part of your upper body will be under tension and load with a series of exercises to promote the growth of muscle.
This entire workout involves dumbbells… all you will need aside from dumbbells is a mat!
The timer will be on for 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 17.5kg, 2 x 10kg and 2 x 4kg. Below are the specific weights I am using for each exercise!
17.5kg

These workouts will highlight to many of us that we can infact consider increasing the weight we have previously used.
It is not often I increase my weight, and infact sometimes I will use lighter weights than I could do such as 15kg for lunges in day 1 or 10kg for the shoulder press whereas I could do heavier if seated etc but I find it helps if I provide what weights I am using in relation to each workout as the timer varies, therefore the rest. Other aspects that affect the weight include when in the workout do I do a certain exercise, what came before it and how many sets.
Though I do think many of you might end up considering upping your weight particularly in lower body workouts as we progress!
We will be hitting the arms specifically on day 5 even though the biceps and triceps were involved in this workout and also within day 3!
You should notice just how much demand is on the triceps on particular during the chest press and also shoulder press!
Day 2 Upper Body! Let’s hit it!
