Get ready for a really awesome and quick upper body burn. What you need is a pair of yoga blocks, pull up bar, and pull up assist band. If you don’t have a pull up bar, you can do dumbbell or kettlebell rows as shown at the beginning of the video. The yoga blocks are not necessary for this workout, but if you do have them, I suggest you use them, because it will increase your range of motion for the push ups making them even more effective.

Also I’d like to repeat myself just in case you don’t get to watch the end of the video where I talk a lot 🙂 I just want to make sure you don’t escape my rant and preaching about the importance of challenge and struggle in your training. I often read how easy I make the exercises look, but trust me, there’s nothing easy about my workouts. I also feel like I’m at the end of my rope, when I do my workouts, and mind you, that I put them together that way – on purpose. Not because I like to torture myself, but because I know that the torture is what makes me stronger inside and out. That’s why they’re short and that’s why it takes a particular person to do these routines. A person that doesn’t get intimidated or discouraged by “real” workouts. Are you that person? I believe you are.
