Using minimal rest and tempo changes, this upper body strength supersets workout will challenge you to push yourself through mental and physical fatigue. Enjoy the core intermissions as a “break" from targeted upper body work.
In this superset-structured upper body workout, we will alternate pairs of push and pull exercises to exhaust agonist (of similar function) muscle groups. For many of us, upper body routines are more challenging than lower body workouts, particularly because weight selections for each movement pattern are so varied. Additionally, the muscles in our upper body are smaller, produce less contractile force, and are quicker to fatigue than our leg muscles. However, the instrumental role that our upper bodies play in providing postural stability and maintaining the integrity of the whole kinetic chain for optimal physical performances justifies their consistent inclusion in a training regimen.
This workout is rated as level 4 because of the format of the weighted circuits and the core strength required for some of the core exercises. Decreasing your weight selections and using the exercise modifications could adjust your perceived effort to that of a level 3 workout.
As always, pay close attention to your form, challenge yourself (safely), and have fun!
