Upper Body Pyramids

Great 30-minute workout for upper body strength using Triangle Pyramids

Set up:

• You'll need a range of dumbbells. Barbells are optional.
• Before beginning each exercise, choose a "light" "medium" and "heavy" weight.
• You'll do 5 sets of each exercise: 12 "light" reps, 10 "medium" reps, 8 "heavy" reps, 10 "medium" reps and 12 "light" reps. Traveling up the pyramid and back down.
• Rest between sets should be 30-60-seconds.
• Rest between exercises should be 1-2 minutes.

EXERCISES

• CHEST PRESS
• SINGLE ARM BENTOVER ROW
• OVERHEAD PRESS
• TRICEP KICKBACKS
• BICEP CURLS

Notes: I use this workout to change things up and when I feel a need to challenge myself or a client to try a heavier weight for just one set. Once you know you can do it, you can do it. :-)
