Chest and back in 40 minutes: two dumbbell circuits of presses, rows and pullovers, then a sprint finisher.

Day 22 of the HR12WEEK 5.0 plan isolates the chest and back instead of a full upper body session. After a warm-up, two strength circuits of 40 seconds on and 20 off, three rounds each, cover presses, rows and pullovers, followed by a quick sprint finisher with half burpees, high knees and power jacks. The video runs about 39 minutes.

🏋️ Dumbbells🧘 Mat

Who Is It For?

Experienced lifters with heavy dumbbells who want a focused chest and back session with a cardio finish.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal for beginners or anyone without heavy dumbbells, or if you want to avoid the burpee-style sprint finisher.

Key Benefits

Builds chest and back strength with presses, rows and pullovers, then adds a short sprint for conditioning.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose a weight you can press and row with control, avoid arching your lower back in presses, and step through the burpees if your joints complain.
