Hello everyone!
Today’s workout is a 500 rep arm challenge to work through at your own pace if you wish!
I have included variations with the pushups and dips for reduced bodyweight you need to lift.
I prefer to incorporate a range of reps within all of my training. From my running, I might one week be doing an ultra marathon followed by the next week sprints or a PB in 5km run! Same with push-ups... I might be doing weighted push ups and the next week doing a 500 pushups challenge! Exercise should be fun, challenging and interesting so changing it up is good!
This workout consists of 5 exercises targeting arms but also chest, shoulders and upper back. We simply perform each for 25 reps then onto the next exercise. Repeat for a total of 4 sets to bring total to 500 reps! Short, simple but definitely a challenge!!!
A pair of lighter dumbbells or resistance band will be needed for 3 of the 5 exercises.
Push ups
Dips
Bicep curls* (Alternating / Double Arm)
Shoulder press
Shoulder raise 45°
* If performing alternating, you will count a left curl followed by right curl as one rep!!!
I performed the first set with a pair of dumbbells (8kg in each hand) and a resistance band for the second set... both were actually just as difficult! Due to the high rep range, your muscles will fatigue and I definitely found it extremely hard to perform the curls and shoulder raises with the band!
Enjoy!!!
