Today’s Workout 48: The upper-body circuit to raise the bar

It doesn’t matter what level you’re at with your fitness routine—it’s always time to raise the bar.

Start by elevating your upper-body workout with this mass-building circuit that focuses especially on your back and arms. Hitting 10 reps of wide-grip pullups and chinups won’t be easy, but it’ll grow your lats and traps. And finally, two separate rounds of single-leg bentover dumbbell rows will test your stability, as well as bulk up your biceps. 

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for 5 to 10 rounds.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest period. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
