The three exercises in this circuit—dumbbell squat punches, dumbbell raise rotations, and rear-delt flyes—all utilize weight to strengthen and grow your lats, biceps, traps, and delts, meaning you’ll be filling out that sweater or T-shirt in no time. With this many reps, it doesn’t matter how tough you are—by the last round of this circuit, we guarantee your muscles will be screaming.
You’ll do this workout as a circuit with a descending rep scheme. Each circuit has 10 rounds. In the first round, you’ll do each exercise back-to-back-to-back for 10 reps, then rest for 90 to 120 seconds. The next round, you’ll do each exercise for 9 reps, then rest; next, do each exercise for 8 reps, etc., until you’ve gone through 10 total rounds. That’s one circuit. Repeat the entire circuit for 2 or 3 total circuits.
Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest periods. You may also complete just 1 circuit, or more than 3, if you feel up for it.
