Its workout of the week time and this week is an upper body blast. This little upper body circuit leaves no muscle feeling left out and is great, quick workout for an upper body day.
The Workout:
[list type=”4″]
- 90 second rest in between sets
- 6 exercises – 3 supersets.
- All exercises are 3×8 which will build muscle and add strength.
- If you would rather build more strength than size, switch to heavier weights and lift 4sets of 5-6 reps.
- If you want to add muscle mass more than strength lower the weight and do higher reps 3 sets of 10-12 reps.
- Super setting means going back and forth between two exercises after each set.
- This is just an example of 1 day of a workout plan. I recommend an individualized workout plan for your specific needs: contact “Vaughan’s Fitness” here for more info.
