I loved this workout from my Summer Bodies series- it definitely blasted my chest & shoulders! It was designed for the gym but I made suggestions for substitutions where possible.
A. Warm-up x 3 sets
Plank jacks x 20 reps
Superman lifts x 10 reps
Inchworm push-ups x 5 reps
Band pull apart x 20 reps
B. 4 Sets
B1. Bench press (barbell or dumbbell) x 8 reps with 2211 tempo (2 counts down, 2 count pause on chest, and 1 count pause at the top)
*Rest 1 minute between sets
C. 4 Sets
C1. Seated dumbbell single arm strict press
1 x 15/arm
1 x 12/arm
2 x 10/arm
*Rest 30 seconds between sets, increase weight each set if possible
D. 3 Sets
D1. Dumbbell incline bench press x 10 reps
D2. Seated incline dumbbell lateral raise x 5 reps
D3. Seated dumbbell lateral raise x 5 reps
D4. Dumbbell lateral raise x 5 reps
*Rest 45 seconds between sets
*Sub with flat bench if you don’t have an incline.
Note: after you finish the bench press, grab a lighter set of dumbbells for the lateral raises. Perform all 15 reps without rest, changing positions every 5 reps.
