W3/D2: UPPER BODY (PUSH) GYM

UPPER BODY PUSHHHH!!! Shoulders. Chest. Triceps. This one has a lot of timed work which I personally love. No counting reps you just press play and get after it. A few notes so you walk in confident!! Your trial set of shoulder presses has four rounds. Each round your reps increase and on that last round you’ll see a little F. That means failure. As many reps as you can possibly get with good form. Think a mini burnout. You stop when you truly cannot press one more rep safely. For reference, I used 25 pound dumbbells for rounds one and two, then dropped to 20s for rounds three and four. On my failure round (4) I only got 12 reps and that was it for me. So do not be surprised if that number feels lower than you expect. That is the point!! If your gym does not have a chest press machine, swap it for a barbell or dumbbell bench press. Same push pattern. Same chest focus!! For the first timed shoulder circuit I only used 8 pound dumbbells and my shoulders were screaming. You only have two rounds of your tricep circuit. If you are feeling spicy and have the time, go for a third. Totally your call. Rate and review your workout when you are done and then go tell the community how your arms are feeling.
