As expected, this was another killer workout, although not as tough as yesterday's plyometrics. The shoulders and arms routine involves 15 different exercises performed in 2 passes for a total of 30 sets. The exercises are done in groups of 3 rotating among a shoulder, bicep and tricep exercise until you have completed 10 sets for each muscle group. The workout is 60 minutes in duration but, alas, is followed by a 17 minute ab ripper workout.I use light weights and do high reps so that I can increase definition without building bulk. My upper body is big enough and it's already difficult enough for me to buy a shirt. Most 2Xs no longer fit and try to find a larger size that's not tailored for a fat guy.
I use the Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells pictured in this post. They replace 15 sets of dumbbells and allow me to adjust the weight from 5 to 52.5 pounds. I have had these dumbbells for a few years now and love them. Although expensive, they are very well made and extremely convenient. Bowflex has a second version which goes up to 90 pounds, but I'm not that crazy.
