Upper Body Specialization Routine

Everybody likes training upper body...right? I am offering you a routine that will focus mainly on the upperbody and will allow you to build a bro physique. Yes, you will still be training legs. Thanks for asking.

Day 1: Chest & Back


# Chest emphasis

Incline bench press - 3 x 6-10

Flat bench press - 3 x 6-10
Dips - 2 x F - perform as many reps as you can with good form.


# You can use barbell or dumbbells. It's up to you.



Barbell row/Chest Supported row/T-bar row - 3 x 6-8

Pull-ups - 3 x F


This is all you do on this day. Rest 1-3 minutes between sets. Keep the weight moderate. The workout should not take longer than 40-60 minutes.

Day 2:


Rest and go play some Starcraft 2.


Day 3: Legs & Arms

Leg press - 3 x 8-15

# On the leg press you can go higher in reps to get some real good pump (omg I sound homo) in the legs.

Squat - 3 x 6-8

#You can do any type of squat you won't except for hacks.

Romanian Deadlift - 3 x 8 (skip if doing deadlift on back day)

Hamstring Curl or similar exercise - 4 x 12

# Leg press is done before squats because we want to kill the legs before squatting. That way when you squat your legs will be the weak link and not your back.

EZ Bar Biceps curls - 3 x 6-10

Dumbbel curls on incline bench - 5 x 12
Pull-over or PJR pull-over - 3 x 6-10
Triceps extension of choice - 5 x 12

Day 4:

Rest

Day 5: Back & Chest

Back emphasis

Deadlift or barbell row - 2 x 8

Lat pull-downs with grip of choice - 5 x 12
Seated cable rows - 5 x 12

Incline  press - 5 x 12

Dips - 2 x F

Done.
