Timed Rep Workout | Upper Body Workout | Bodyweight Exercises |

Sometimes I take myself through some pretty grueling things, just because I “promised” I’d try it. I do that alot. I make a deal with myself to do a workout or grueling circuit and about half way through start questioning my sanity. So, the other day I got to thinking about my timed rep workout post and decided to put together an entire workout based on that.

Anyone who thinks you need to be in the gym for over an hour has never tried this. Anyone who thinks they need heavy weights all the time, has never tried this.

So here it is; five exercises, three sets each for a grand total of fifteen minutes of solid exercise effort. (Rest between sets not included)

Here is the upper body workout:

Pullups
Dips
Situps
Pushups
Dumbbell Shoulder Press (light to moderate weight)

All are done for 1 minute as straight through as possible. Rest if you need to only slightly so you can do a couple more reps.

This round is pretty complete for your upper body, no isolation work as these exercises tend to tax all the muscle groups of the upper body. Chest, Back, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Abs are all in there. This will give you the ultimate in carry over too!

Try it out and let me know what you think.
