Watch Ryan Watson take me through a killer upper body workout. You can see how hard I am pushing here. This is what it looks like to work in the gym.
Enter into every workout with the intension to GSD!
You should leave your workout feeling like you couldn’t have pushed yourself any harder.
Ryan uses a technique known as a giant set at the end of a workout to really fatigue every muscle, keeping
the heart rate elevated to really tap into fat storage to reveal the muscles underneath.
Workout:
Weighted Lunges
Incline Dumbbell Press
Incline Dumbbell Flys
Incline Dumbbell Curls
TRX Tricep Extensions
Dumbbell Kickbacks
Weighted Lunges

Awesome video! Great to see the trainer in training. Love all of your stuff. I am getting back into shape and it feels great! Thank you for your site and motivation.

Awesome workout — you have a great trainer! Thanks for sharing.
Hi,
Looks fun. My gym does not have stairs. Would ‘standard’ weighted lunges do instead?
Yes, for sure!
I’m off to the gym to try some of these. At 57 years of age, I’m looking forward to trying these. I may bypass the stairs though. Bad knees. This is a great video Flavia. Very helpful and inspirational. Thank you for sending this. I love seeing you in action.
Do you do any type of cardio workout after this workout?
Yes, HIIT is always best for fat burning.
Thanks Flavia looks like a great workout! I work out from home, could I use a stability ball instead of the bench? You look amazing! I would love for my arms to be that big and defined. They’re getting there though, they look way better than they used to, and I guess it just takes time.
I tried to post this comment earlier, but I don’t think it worked, so sorry if I’m posting it twice. You look amazing Flavia! I would love for my arms to be that big and defined one day. I workout at home, could I do this on a stability ball instead of the bench?
Yes for sure!
ok thanks! I’ll try it next week 🙂
Thanks for the great VT – just wonderingvwhat could you use instead of the sand bag when going up the stairs for homeworkouts?
Thanks,
Clea
You could just hold some dumbbells on the side but very careful using stairs.
thats how i did… holding dumbells at my side while doing the stair climb….worked great
Love the video, It’s great because I needed some new material for my workouts. However, do you do this WO straight through, or do you do sets of reps. I am curious about how many of each exercise to do and how many circuits.Thanks
This isn’t a total workout, we did 2 other sets on chestm bi’s and tri’s prior to this. Do 3 sets of 12!
what were the other sets for the complete workout?
awesome workout….did this the other day and i could feel the muscles the next day….LOVE IT. But how should i incorporate this into the other workouts I do of yours? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Inspiring workout – you look great!
Hi Flavia,
Love your workouts / tips! I was wondering what angle of incline you were using on the bench (looks like greater than 45 ° from the floor)? I often do incline chest flys and presses but use a much shallower angle (probably about 30 °). I assume a higher angle will hit my upper chest better? I could use some help here to build a bit of fullness with muscle as I’ve nursed two babies (for a long time) and have become quite lean through eating well / exercise (unfortunately, my chest is disappearing as a result too!)
Thanks 🙂

Hey Susan, I think it’s around 60 degrees, between 45 and 60 should be good, just make sure to be putting the intension on the chest. What you are doing with a higher angle is shifting the emphasis to the upper chest. Unfortunately building biggers pecs wont help increase breast size in the way we women would like.
This video is a motivation. Everybody wants those muscles but most of them quit in between, I am doing HIIT upper body workout at home , can I also do these exercises?
