Tyler’s New Workout

Our Advice: While you seem to be going for a variety of movements, you’re training the muscles very similarly. You can replace both the dumbbell and machine presses with the standing overhead press to add size and strength with a more efficient movement. There’s no need to do two kinds of shrugs in the same workout, either. Lastly, by supersetting pushing and pulling motions, you’ll cut down training time.
