Workout 71 - Upper Body Strength


Strength Day


Dips - 5 x 8


Pullovers - 5 x 8


Bicep Curls - 5 x 8-12




General Warm Up


Start with 3-5min of Cardio of choice, then…


3 ROUNDS

5 Single Leg Glute Bridges Each Leg



Specific Warm Up


Today’s substitution for Dips will be Push Ups, potentially with an extra slow descent. Whichever move you plan to do, make sure you get in some warm up reps. If you plan to add weight to your dips, gradually increase the load until you are at your working weight.



Workout of the Day


Dips - 5 x 8


Pullovers - 5 x 8


Bicep Curls - 5 x 8-12



Modifications


For the dips, any strict dip will do the job today. This could be on rings, on bars, on an assisted dip station, or using bands. If you are looking to make them extra challenging, feel free to add weight, but not at the expense of the form!


If you don’t have a dip station available or cannot do this many dips, sub in whatever push up variation allows you to complete the same rep scheme. Ways to make this more challenging would be to add a slow descent to some (or all) reps. Whether you are doing these on toes, knees, or hands on a raised platform… you know what I’m going to say. Go. All. The. Way. Down.
