Heavy-dumbbell push and pull session for chest, back, biceps, triceps and shoulders: 10 exercises in 40 minutes.

After a warm-up, you work through ten exercises at 40 seconds of work and 20 seconds of rest, with 50 seconds between exercises, before a cool-down. Chest presses, rows, shoulder presses, pullovers, curls and overhead extensions make up a push and pull session where Sydney asks for weights that truly challenge you. The video runs about 41 minutes.

Who Is It For?

Experienced lifters with heavy weights at home who want a structured, challenging upper body strength session.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without weights or if you are new to lifting: the session is built around heavy loads and quality over speed.

Key Benefits

Works the chest, back, biceps, triceps and shoulders in one session and builds strength through quality, controlled reps.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose weights that challenge you but still allow clean form and tempo, and ease off if your shoulders or elbows feel strained.
