High Rep upper body


High Rep upper body
Hey folks, this is a workout we did on last week. We've done the classic body building type of training if you will for the past 3 months are so and i thought it was time to change things up a bit. So for the next 2 or 3 months to come look for some different style workouts to come from seanathanquinn.com
Incline Dumbbell press 3 sets for max reps! It means just that grab a pair of dumbbells and hammer away at them for as many reps as you can complete safely
Cable straight arm pull downs with a Rope 3 sets of 12
Superset with Band pull aparts 3 sets of 15-20 reps (super set means done in a back to back fashion without rest until you do the second movement)
Dumbbell Side raises 4 sets of 12
barbell behind the back shrugs 3 sets of 10
superset with incline seated dumbbell curls 3 sets of 10 per arm
Give this workout a go and let me know how it went for you. If your a lady or older person and worried about doing this just use a weight that is comfortable for you to use and have at it!

Legs you can DEPEND ON!!

Legs you can Trust and Depend on!

Your legs are your foundation. Like a building. Weak foundation and you'll surely have a weak building in the long run. It doesn't matter if your working your legs for looks or for performance there is only one way to build Legs.....HARD WORK!!!! simple and plain. If your not almost crawling out of the gym after a leg session you missed something.

Dumbbell Squat(HEAVY) 4 sets of 8-10 reps (went up to 110lbs. dumbbells) Hold the dumbbells out to your sides like your just standing there arms hanging and go into your squat.

Leg press 3 sets of 15 once again we went heavy

Leg curls 3 sets of 10 holding the top for a count. feeling that blood flooding the hamstring

Walking lunges 3 sets 20 steps at a time

Build a chest that bust out of your shirt!

Build a chest that bust out of your shirt!!!!

I'm going to give you a look at our chest workout from monday. Lifting tons of weight on the bar isn't the only way to build the chest that you want to gain attention. Using different methods from week to week in your training as well can be just what you need to break through your current training slumps and spark new growth!

Incline machine chest press 3 sets. We did a three the hard way set. ( put your hands wide as possible for as many as you can go, then bring your hands in to normal width and bang out more, then finally bring your hands in close and finish out. TONS of blood rushing to your chest and triceps)

Floor Press with Dumbbells 3 sets of 12-15 reps (set up on the floor as the name says and do a chest press as you would do on a bench)

Tricep of DEATH!!!! 4 tricep movements done in a back to back fashion 2 sets!
incline bench and two dumbbells : tate press 10 reps, skull crushers 10 reps, close grip bench press 10, last body weight over head tricep extension max reps!!!!!!!!!!! this one kills your arms. you probably won't even be able to feel them afterwards to be honest with you LOL
