A 40-minute upper body strength session built around heavy lifting: eight exercises in timed rounds of 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off.
Eight exercises are worked through four rounds of 40 seconds of effort and 20 seconds of rest, with quality of movement valued over speed. Sydney Cummings pushes you to lift heavy and, if your dumbbells are light, suggests pauses, explosive stands, half reps or shorter rests. The video runs about 42 minutes.

Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Intermediate exercisers with heavy dumbbells who want a structured, timed upper body strength session at home.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal if you want a gentle or equipment-free session: it is built around heavy lifting and a 40/20 work-rest pace.
Key Benefits
Builds upper body strength and athletic power through heavy, controlled lifting, while the timed rounds keep the session efficient.
Things to Keep in Mind
Pick a weight you can control with good form, warm up your shoulders first and stop if you feel pain in your shoulders, elbows or wrists.
