Who Is It For?
Intermediate lifters with heavy dumbbells who want a focused 30-minute upper body strength and power session.
Who Is It Not For?

Key Benefits

Things to Keep in Mind
Choose weights you can control, warm up your shoulders and wrists first and stop if you feel pain in your shoulders, elbows or back.
