This quick chest and biceps workout uses heavy weight and high reps to achieve maximum muscle building results. It might not seem like a lot at first, but your pecs and biceps will be burning when it’s all said and done. The goal is to get all the reps done in one go, but with the heavier rep range it’s always difficult. Consider using the rest-pause technique with the high rep ranges.
The chest portion of this workout uses body weight and resistance band exercises. A couple of minutes on a resistance band is still hard work, and the 2 minutes of push-ups on the Bosu ball hits your chest, and core hard. As with all of my workouts, I rarely work just one muscle group. The objective is to thoroughly fatigue myself by the end of the workout, and you better believe this workout does just that.
IMPORTANT: The weights outlined below are what I’m comfortable using. Be sure you use a weight that will challenge you, but also allow you to perform every rep with good form.
