Caroline Girvan | ENDURING Upper Body Workout - Complex Training | EPIC III Day 22 @CarolineGirvan | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Compound movements paired with isolation exercises to target all areas of the upper body using 3 minute complexes, dumbbells and some bodyweight exercises too!
Each complex is 3 minutes duration with 30 seconds rest inbetween!
For this intense session, you will simply need a pair of dumbbells and your mat!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 15kg at the beginning for the back, chest and shoulders then the remainder will be with 6kg!
You will notice that some of these complexes are quite simple! Lateral raise on one side, then switch for example! This format becomes very challenging very quickly. However, the challenge is being able to maintain good form. It can always be made slot easier by simply swaying the dumbbell up and letting it fall… but to ‘lift’ the dumbbell and almost ‘set it back down to starting position’ or at least slow down the lowering… this is the challenge!

For me personally, this was one of the most challenging complex workouts as it is all upper body. The upper body tends to fatigue quicker than lower body and not to mention the grip being tested! But it is important to remain as calm as you can! Make sure you are not holding your breath and remember that if it is really difficult… that’s a good thing! It should be!
You’ll love this format… and so will your shoulders, arms, back, core and chest! 😁
