YOUR ASSIGNMENT - UPPER POWER WORKOUT:


WARMUPS:

Amply stretch hamstrings, calves, quads, glutes followed by pogo hops and then a quick jog in place.

Finish with 50 Jumping Jacks to get that blood flowing!


ROUTINE:

Upper power workout focused on power and moving heavy things short distances:


4 sets (12, 9, 6, 3 reps):

  • Bench Press

  • Incline Bench Press

  • Chest Dumbbell Flys

  • Kneeling Bent-Over Curls

  • Hammer Curls

  • Dumbbell Skull Crushers

  • Rocket launcher kickbacks

  • Overhead Shoulder Press

  • Optional: Landmine press


ALTERATIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS:

Beginner to advanced should alter the weight as necessary to find the right balance of completion vs depletion! The aim of 12, 9, 6, 3 is to increase weight so that you feel depleted in each set. A good rule of thumb is to go up in 5 lb increments but adjust as necessary depending on the exercise. Remember to make the last 3 reps of every set gritty! That is where the results are!
