Description: W2/D1: Upper Body

It seems simple but it's demanding. My HR monitor points go very high, which indicates how intense the work out is. Great combination of exercises. I find it fascinating.

Willard

Superset the majority of the work- great plan!

Mandy

Getting better at these but still need assistance on pull ups and kneel while doing clapping press ups.

Good blend of exercises. Made some modifications for my level but love these body weight workouts.

Challenging workout, just barely survived..;)

Jens Karle

Kendall Lowe

Even with a 45 kg powerband..pull ups are still a failure😭

But other than that...the rest was a little less frustrating than the first week😅

Lara

It was much harder than last time! Worked up a lot of sweat

Vanessa

Your workouts are amazing Magnus! I never experienced such effectiveness in just one week! On my W2/D1 I did so much better than W1! I haven’t trained in a year and couldn’t find motivation to train at home, but after I gave I try to your program I’m totally back in the game! 💪🏼

Any chance of developing a home workout for one pair of dumbbells or a single kettlebell?

Richard

Another day at the office. Good stuff. Will share on instagram in a bit.

Core really effective in this workout stationer st the end when arms are weak and have to really tighten up core for support

Jacquie Schmidt

Augustin Nechad

Taking a week off was a terrible idea. Had to modify quite a bit. Opted for 10 minutes on the elliptical rather than toe touches and bear crawls. Didn’t have the ability to weight pull-ups, so I only did 3-3. Three sets of 5 clap push ups.Only did a high row - 4 sets of 10. 5-3 for circuit 2. Couldn’t make it to circuit 3. I refuse to be discouraged and will continue hitting this until I max it.

Dylan

Great! Body weight is much more intensive than weight training for me. At least I always feel more exhausted but that’s good because it means I’m working!

Sid Blake

More than anything I’m thankful for the energy increase your program gives me throughout the day.  As a single dad of 3 boys.  It means the world to have the energy and gumption to do all it takes with them and enjoy it too.  Thanks Magnus!

Joseph

Kelly

I can’t do more than two pull-ups in a row, consistently. I hope that changes soon.

Comrade

Intense so you have anything to substitute the workouts with a pull up bar

Rashmitha

I have a shoulder injury so I simply cannot do a lot of the weight bearing exercises like pushups. If not I’m sure I would have enjoyed it much more!

Supersets are way more challenging than they seem but so simple. Loving it

Dannelys Diaz

Hey guys, welcome to the start of week 2! We are repeating week 1. You should have a good understanding for the program now, so you need to step up your intensity
