Easy Full Upper Body Workout

If you are limited in time or space this is a great workout that pretty much hits all of the essential upper body muscle groups. You can do it standing in your room, all in under 30 minutes.


To do this workout you need a standard straight bar or curl bar and enough weight you can do about 10 reps, with the last rep being fairly difficult. The trick to this workout is never putting the bar down between exercises, only between sets. You combine multiple lifts in one set.

Remember do not put the bar down and everything is in sets of 10-12 reps.

• Start with curls, 10 reps. (bicep)
  
• Next put the bar behind your head for some tricep extensions. (triceps)
  
• Move on to military press. (shoulder)
  
• Bring the bar down for some straight bar lawnmower pulls. (back)
  
• Stay in this position for some straight leg dead lift. (back)
  
• With weight in hand gripping the bar, do 20 push-ups. (chest)

Repeat this cycle four times and your workout is complete. You should rest about 1 minute between sets. When I am finished my four-arms and shoulders are usually burning pretty good from holding the bar so long. It really works your grip in the process. Good luck!
