Upper body quickie

Strapped for time today? So am I! This upper body workout takes less than 10 minutes.

Equipment: You will need a moderate set of dumbbells and an Olympic bar.

Exercises (in this order): Push ups, underhand grip bar bent over row, standing shoulder press with dumbbells.

If you don't just have access to an Olympic
bar, substitute dumbbell rows instead!
Eventually my biceps will be so big and
strong that I will actually be able to kiss them!
Set 1: 10 reps each
Set 2: 8 reps each
Set 3: 6 reps each
Set 4: 4 reps each
Set 5: 2 reps each
Set 6: 4 reps each
Set 7: 6 reps each
Set 8: 8 reps each
Set 9: 10 reps each



Try not to take any rest periods longer than 15-30 seconds between sets. Feel burn, baby! By set 7 my skinny little arms were shaking like leaves.

Don't forget to warm up adequately before you begin, and give yourself a well deserved stretch upon completion!
