For this upper body workout, we chose four compound, fundamental exercises. We ensured that they covered off all planes of movement for the upper body (i.e. horizontal and vertical presses and pulls). To increase the pace of the workout (for efficiency and an additional cardio challenge), we used supersets. To finish off the workout, we did a bonus set that focused on our arms (since the main exercises primarily targeted our chest, back, and shoulders).
In the first part of the workout, we supersetted wide-grip pullups with incline bench press. We did three of these supersets, with brief rest periods in between. Then we moved onto part two...
In the second part of the workout, we supersetted one-arm kettlebell rows with one-arm kettlebell presses. Again, we did three supersets, with brief rest periods in between.
To finish off the workout (as a bonus set), we supersetted Jungle Gym bicep curls with close-grip pushups.
This was an enjoyable upper body workout. We like using supersets, especially with opposing muscle groups (e.g. try supersetting chest and back exercises). It is an efficient way to workout, since one muscle group can be recovering while you are exercising the other one. Give this workout a try and let us know how it goes!
