Workout Program Description

This is a 2 day-a-week workout program that contains only free weight (dumbbell) exercises. The program deals only with the upper body (no legs).

Workouts

Description

This workout focuses mainly on the pectoral and tricep muscle groups. If you are just starting out, begin with low weight dumbbells (10-20 lb) and work your way up if you need more of a challenge. All suggested weight values are given in total weight, i.e., 50 lb means two 25 lb dumbbells.

What People are Saying

esprit

I used to do almost exactly this workout, but then I got a trainer for a day and he suggested that it was better to work opposing muscle groups: so, e.g., chest and back, or bis and tris. The thing about this workout is every one of those exercises uses your tris, which pretty much will destroy your tris for the whole week. That makes it a lot harder to do any shoulders or chest the rest of the week.

I have chosen to do this workout because it is something that I can do at the school track on the benches, if i bring my own weights. That way I don't have to do it at the gym!

This is a good workout. Ideas are very basically, tough to go wrong with same-day primary/secondary muscles groups and the reps are just in range to initiate muscle build

A few questions

1. Are you supposed to do both workouts at the same time/day? 2. Is there a sequence of exercises? 3. Is it really correct to do 3 bench press type exercises in a row? 4. How much rest between sets and between exercises? Many thanks

Print Out

It would be nice if there was a function that allowed you to print out the workout in a neat fashion - which includes an illustration of the maneuver. Anyone know how to do this?

Yeah, I would suggest using a separate program for leg exercises.

I like this program, but...

It neglects working out the legs. Leg muscles burn more calories than upper body muscles, so I feel it is important to work those as well. Good for an upper body workout though.
