Post 8: Shoulder and Arm Workout #1

Here is a good, fast workout I did Saturday. All you need is a bench or steps and a couple of dumbbells or bands. When you see the reps, please understand that I am picking a weight that will allow me to fall just short of the expected number of reps. After I go to failure, I take a couple of seconds and get 2-3 more. That is the end of the set. Make each set count! As for the exercises, email me or leave a comment if you can’t figure them out.

This workout has 3 different groups of three exercises each. Each round we do 4 times, so you will be doing a total of 12 sets for each body part ( shoulders, biceps, triceps ).

Round 1  Try for 15 reps ( Men ) 15-20 ( Women )
Round 2 Try for 10-12 reps ( Men) 15 ( Women )
Round 3 Try for 8-10 reps ( Men) 12-15 ( Women)
Round 4 Try for 6-8 reps ( Men) 10-12 ( Women)

Group 1
Curl and Press
Side Laterals
Rear Bench Dips
( Repeat for 4 sets increasing the weight or resistance each time.

Take a short break

Group 2
Upright Row
Hammer Curl
Tricep Kickbacks
Same instructions as above.

Group 3
Wrist curl
Front raises
Close grip Push-ups

This should beat you up pretty good. If you actually did the workout, put it in your profile so I can see it. Didn’t register for your free online coaching yet? What are you waiting for? Click here for free online coaching and diet info.
