Upper Body Strength LVL 1

Looking for some new workouts and a way to build the upper body strength you want. Try our 4-week Upper Body Strength Training plan. It's not your traditional upper body strength plan that uses a lot of cable and barbell exercises. This training plan consists of upper body strength movements, core strength & stability, and balance...The STR8 Performance way.

Each training session targets major muscle groups to help you maximize upper body strength. The Monday sessions targets your back and biceps; the Tuesday session focuses on chest and triceps strength; the Thursday session will help you build core strength and Friday finishes with shoulder movements. This type of training will help you stimulate these muscle groups and help build the muscular growth you desire.

Each workout consists of a warmup, dynamic prep, focused muscle group strength set, and a finisher/cardio set. The warmup varies based on the target muscle group for the day. The dynamic prep set mimics movements, with either bodyweight or resistance exercises, you will do in your strength set. The strength set is the "meat and potatoes" of your workout. Last, the finisher is the final set that increases your heart rate and then cools you down with static stretching.

You will need access to a gym to complete this plan. The following equipment is needed:
-Yoga Mat
-Flat Bench
-Dumbbells (light & heavy)
-Resistance Bands
-Minibands
-Treadmill or Cardio Machine
