Description: 7/14 Arms Race Upper Body

Love these workouts. The structure and mixing up the reps and sets the next time you see the exercise a week later helps keep things fresh

Greg Parks

Tough upper body-phew!!! This app was a great help with business travel all week.

Straight Sets Upper Body Arms Focus Session resting 60-90 seconds between sets.

- Mini Band External Rotations 2 minutes 
- Wall Slides 1 minute
- Dead Hangs (from pullup bar) 1 minute 
- Yoga Pushups 2 minutes

- Loop the mini band around both wrists
- Externally rotate outward against the resistance of the band (palms in, palms up and palms down)

Mini Band External Rotations

- Stand tall with your back leaning flat into a wall
- Press your arms into the wall, flare them out from your sides and bend your elbows, forming a W
- Maintain contact with the wall as you slide your arms vertically overhead while maintaining the bend in your elbow
- Pause
- Slide your arms back down the wall until your elbows are close to your sides
- Repeating for time or reps

Wall Slides

- Use a secure overhead bar (Use a step or bench so you can easily reach the bar with your arms, as you don’t want to jump straight into a dead hang)
- Grip the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing away from you), arms shoulder-width apart
- Move your feet off the step or bench so you’re hanging on to the bar (or just bend your knees if you are able to reach the bar)
- With your arms straight hang from the bar with your body straight and your feet off the floor
- Do not fully relax your shoulders, instead keep them active by pulling them slightly down and back

Dead Hang

- Start in a high plank/push up position
- Contract your abs and tighten your core by pulling your belly button toward your spine
- Bend your elbows and lower yourself toward the floor, until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle
- Contract your chest muscles, press through your hands returning to the starting position 
- Shift back into a downward dog position  
- Return to starting position

Yoga Pushups

Upper Body Mobility Prep

- Start in a high plank/push up position 
- Contract your abs and tighten your core by pulling your belly button toward your spine
- Bend your elbows and lower yourself toward the floor, until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle
- Contract your chest muscles and push yourself halfway up, lower back down to 90 degrees then press through your hands, returning all the way up to starting position

1.5 Rep Pushups

- Stand behind the rack with your feet staggered and knees slightly bent, and hold onto a dumbbell using a neutral grip with one hand
- Press your other hand into the rack to support your upper body
- Row the dumbbell up toward your waist until you feel a strong contraction in your lat and mid-back muscles
Lower the dumbbell back down until your arm is extended 
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

DB Rack Row

- Start in a standing position, holding dumbbells at your sides
- Keep a slight bend at the elbow
- Raise the dumbbells laterally until you reach shoulder height 
- Lower with a slow and controlled movement

DB Lateral Raises

- Stand with your back to a wall and your feet shoulder-width apart
- Hold the dumbbells in front of your body with your palms facing out
- Curl the dumbbells up toward your shoulders, engaging your biceps
- Make sure your elbows don’t move forward
- Lower the dumbbells under control to starting position

DB Wall Curls

- Start with dumbbell in one hand and arm extended over incline bench
- Curl dumbbell up towards shoulder
- Lower until arm almost fully extended
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

DB Single Arm Preacher Curls

- Lying down with your arms extended above the shoulders, a dumbbell in each hand
- Bend at the elbow lowering the dumbbells towards your head
- Fully extend your arms up, contracting your triceps

DB Skull Crushers

- Start with dumbbells in each hand
- Lower the dumbbells to the ground
- Jump your feet back into push up position
- Lower your body to the ground
- Press yourself back up and jump your feet back to your hands 
- Stand up, curl the dumbbells and press them overhead 
- Lower the dumbbells down, moving directly into the next rep

1/26 Thursday Upper Body Arms Shoulder Bicep Tricep

Did this as a finisher for a pretty intense chest/tri workout and holy crap it was deadly

Could only do 30lbs and it was extremely tough, had to switch to overhead DB extensions instead of skullcrushers partway through

Upper Body Tri-Set DB 10/10/10 Waterfall

Benjamin

I’ve been coming back to this as a finisher for upper body days, first time in a while but today I was able to do it with a 40lbs EZ bar. However I had to set the bar down for a couple seconds every once in a while. Super tough. Feel awesome though

Easily my favorite upper body finisher. Did 30lbs again but with a lot less stops at the top or bottom of a rep.

10/10 Bicep Waterfall Challenge

Mantathalon Advanced

Love this one. Did inclines at 50. Rack row at 70. Renegades at 30

Love it. Renegade rows in the middle a killer.

70lbs DB rack row
20 lbs renegades
20lbs skull crushers and curls

Great workout. 5 rounds except 4 on dips. Someone was hogging the dip machine!

Brutal! Just did regular pushups-45lb bench-35lb prone row-25lb curl and press. 
The only slight break is while doing curl and press 😳

Finished 5 rounds in 44 minutes. Great workout!

7/11 Strength to Fail AMRAP Upper Body

Brutal. Starts great but start tearing you apart by round 4. The push-ups and dips back to back is the killer.

5 rounds, the push-ups at the end were the worst. Crazy shoulder and chest pump

Nick

First round thought I was gonna fly through this and it got spicy quick. Got 6 rounds in. Great session

7/7 Upper Body AMRAP Bicep Tricep Overhead Press

Great workout. Substituted the bicep waterfall instead of renegade rows because of knee issues.

7/4 Upper Body Push Pull

Matthew Lawless

Great workout! Had to substitute the last exercise due to my leg injury. Highly recommended 💪

6/30 Bicep/Tricep Blowout

🥵 😓 👍🏼 those burpee’s though!

Needed this change up today. Each time I feel a certain area is requiring a little more rest, or modification, the weekly workouts have a Jedi like mindset and know what I want/need/feel.. The force is strong with this app..

Christopher

6/27 Upper Body Push Pull Press

My upper body feels like Gumby.  👍🏼🔥

Peter

Love the ‘to failure’ throw in’s. Brutal and awesome workout.

Dave Kelly

6/23 Upper Body Flow Fail Advanced

Awesome workout! I haven’t seen it, but maybe an added feature could be a notes section on the workout so the user can track what weight they used for different exercises? Love the timer and rest. Really easy to navigate

I never know how long a minute actually was. Brutal, but effective 💪🏽👊🏽

Great. Warm up got me loose and ready. Bench with rotation is very different than bench. Tricep and shoulder burner. Loved it. Thanks.
