Modern Physique: Week 1, Day 5 - Upper Body and Cardio

Shoulders, back, chest, and arms—every bit of your upper body gets some work today. Don't even think about cutting back. All this work is necessary to a modern physique!

The giant set is a tough cookie, especially because it includes the close-grip bench press. Your front delts will feel annihilated. To do one, perform 10 reps of a regular dumbbell front raise, then 10 reps of a dumbbell lateral raise, and finish with 10 reps of a bent-over rear-delt row. All four exercises together equal one giant set.

On the dumbbell movements, select weight that you don't have to put down. Your limiting factor will probably be the lateral raises. Trust me, you don't have to go very heavy to feel serious burn.
