Grab all the dumbbells for this 25 minute upper body Dropset strength workout. You may want a mat, towel, and hydration around as well. Today's focus is the entire upper body and today's format is dropset supersets. We will perform 2 exercises at a time before taking a break. The first exercise will be the more challenging variation of the superset. We will perform this exercise for 60 seconds. After that exercise, we will either "drop" the intensity of the exercise and/or "drop" the weight selection to something lighter. The second exercise will be performed for 60 seconds, but we will split it up in a 30 second/ 30 second format. We will either change the tempo or make a slight change to the exercise. After each superset, we will have a 15 second recovery before moving on to a new superset.
I am using 20, 15, 10, and 5lb DBs throughout. I will always tell you what I am using, but you and I may need different weight selections to feel challenged. You may be able to go heavier than more, or you may need to go lighter than me. Find a weight selection that feels challenging for you while maintaining really great form throughout. To make this workout feel challenging, be sure to push the weight on that first exercise (minus the warmup). Ideally we want to get within 2 reps left in the tank (2RIR) before making the drop.
There will be a demo/upcoming exercise in the upper right hand corner of your screen. You and I do not have to go at the same speed/tempo. Find a pace/speed/weight selection that feels challenging for *you*. I hope you enjoy this one! Let me know how it goes in the comments below!
