IRON Series 30 Min Upper Body Chest and Triceps Workout | 12
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 кві 2022
- The entire pectoral muscles, triceps, frontal delts and core will be targeted today!
I love a chest day for so many reasons!
I normally follow with more tricep specific work to really finish the arms!
This workout, I perform the chest press on the floor which I absolutely love!
If you have a bench, absolutely you can perform any of these movements on a raised bench as apposed to the floor.
If you are relatively new to training, floor chest press & flyes can be a great idea as the floor can work at a ‘safety bar’.
If you do progress to a bench, take a little time to gauge the new range of movement available and lower with control into the descent.
We will primarily be using dumbbells throughout this session, however towards the end we will incorporate some bodyweight resistance just to finish off those chest and tricep muscles!
Most of the exercises will be performed for 3 sets in total!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 17.5kg for the chest press, with the remainder of the workout using 2 x 10kg each!
The timer will be on 60 seconds of work per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween each set!
17.5kg
CHEST PRESS
10kg
DIAMOND PRESS
FLYES
TRICEP PRESS
SKULLCRUSHERS x 1 DUMBBELL
DIPS (on bars or chair)
FINISHER!
45/15
WIDE PUSH UPS*
REGULAR PUSH UPS*
TRICEP PUSH UPS
• OPTIONAL to use push up bars. These are a great option to add to your home training equipment. Often these are more comfortable on the wrists for many people. Also you are elevated so greater range of movement is also available!
This is aimed at the pectoral muscles and triceps however every muscle in the upper body will be challenged also, even including the biceps!
But it will be the entire chest, the front deals and arms that will be feeling the load!
There is something about chest press that I love! I feel so strong! Even though I’m literally shaking to push that last rep!
You’ll love it!!

Raise your hand if you were on knees for the finisher! 🤚🥵💪🏻
Had to drop to my knees for that finisher! My arms were so shaky! Great workout!
Same here. Had to drop to my knees by the time I got to triceps push ups. 🤣
Me too!
same here :D
lol same! I tried one from feet, and basically fell flat on my face!🤣
I truly don’t know how you did those push ups at the end! Another great workout!
I think she could use heavier weights throughout, but she is sticking to just two, maximum 3, different weights, not to confuse us too much.
She could start with 22,5kg for the first round of chest, 20 for the second and only on the third drop to 17,5.
That way she could also be a lot more tired at the finisher.
But of course she has more training than the rest of us. Not only bigger muscles, but better conditioned.
Tried to do this workout a month ago and had to stop because it was way too hard. I've been doing Caroline's workouts ever since, and today I made it all the way through!!! Thank you for this feeling of accomplishment!!
It’s been awhile since we did a chest & triceps workout so I’m really looking forward to lying on the mat & giving it my all pumping IRON!! Keep working on your weaknesses and you’ll soon be proud of how great you become, we got this!!
Morning Devansh! 😁
Morning Devansh me neither have I done many push ups so they hurt today. Was tough but good. Finisher was exactly that. Finished me off 😜 abs add on done too. Hope you enjoyed.
Morning Devansh..so true and like Caroline always says lying on the mat it doesn’t mean that we will not work hard😆😆
Enjoy your workout😁
Morning Devansh...yes it’s been a while since we’ve had such an intense session for chest and triceps! I’m sure you’ll smash it...I found the last part of the finisher so hard!!! I managed four tricep push ups...then my triceps just stopped working! Have a great workout and a great day, Devansh!
@@annereidy515 Morning Anne...such true words...the finisher just finished me too...my triceps just stopped working! Yes I loved the abs too! Have a lovely day! Matthew
Had to do the entire finisher on my knees! What an awesome workout!
Me too!
Me too but the important thing is we did it! 👏
What a great workout! I loved it! 💕
you don't realize how weak some muscles are until you put them to work 🤣 those chair dips never get easier for me, i always have to do other variations. and don't even get me started on the push ups 🥲i hope to become stronger one day. thank you, Caroline!
The finisher is so hard this is the first one I wasn’t able to do. Had to modify big time! But I love it! Thank you, Caroline! Love your warm, encouraging smile all the way😍❤
1min x 3 sets!! Killer 🔥! Ooh we’re gonna feel so strong after this one! 💪Love me some chest & triceps!
Definitely a burner! ❤️🔥 Enjoy your workout 😉
Morning Briana...yes it’s a killer...the finisher is truly finishing! Prepare for an intense burn in your triceps! Have a great workout! Matthew
Oooh now that was an impressive amount of work on the upper body! Today I increased my weights particularly for the chest. Using the new equipment was great at the end too. Thank you Caroline for a great session today! Have a lovely Tuesday everyone!
Morning Sharon...that’s great to read that you increased your weights today...well done! I’m sure you are feeling very fit and strong ! So glad you enjoyed this...I did too...but I found the finisher so hard! Hope you have a lovely Tuesday too!

By the end…i couldn’t do any push ups haha i wanted to go down and I hit the ground like a whale the beach. I love this series so much! And I don‘t know what exactly the difference is to the EPIC Series but this time I manage to slowly increase my weights with every workout and I LOVE IT :)
Anyone else have tender biceps from Sunday? Well, this workout will now even us out! 😁 This finisher was brilliant once again, Caroline! Enjoyed every minute of this one! Have a fun workout everyone! You've got this!
Thought I was going to get a break after yesterday's leg day, when I realized this workout was 90% laying down...how I was so mistaken! 🤣 The 3 sets of each had my arms shaking! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Hi Gina...so true! We might have spent a lot of time lying down but we weren't resting!! Wasn't this s tough one...especially the finisher!!
Plus I love bare feet workouts...
😌
Haha same
When it’s mostly on the mat it looks less painful
It was a break 🤣
My second (or third?) time through the Iron Series and I love it even more than when I did it the first time!💜💪
I used 16.5kg, 11.5kg and 6.5kg for today's workout and I absolutely enjoyed it. I thought my hands will give way at some point, but they held on. I had to do dead stop tricep push ups on my knees for the last 5 reps of that finisher, but it was indeed a finisher. Thanks so much, Caroline and have fun doing this, guys.
The push ups at the end were the toughest part of this workout. My triceps are on fire and my chest muscles were literally shaking by the 3rd set!! Thank you for another great workout Caroline !
I love so much what you are doing. I tried to exercise for very long time with videos from other UA-camrs, most of them with many views, but finding you was definitely very impactful for my life. Thanks to your program, I don’t feel lost anymore, and before you, I will skip many days because I didn’t have a proper program, I only choose whatever exercise I wanted to do.
But now I feel so excited every day and I can see something that never happen to me before, its that my body it’s in fact changing. I love you, you are a role model. I will be watching your videos forever.
Happy Chest and Triceps day! 😍💪 The exercises will be repeated 3 times, intensity will be building up slowly to feel the burn ❤️🔥 The finisher is what I'm excited for the most, I really miss doing a lot of pushups. Thanks Caroline for your fantastic finishers! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Yasmine...hope you have a fantastic workout today! Yes...you are so correct...the intensity of each exercise really does build up so much and the third set is tough! Yes...so true about push ups...we hadn’t done many for a while! I’m afraid thus finisher really did finish me...my triceps were tired from the dips and by the final round of tricep push ups I managed about 4 and then my triceps just gave up! Have fun today...and if you have time the abs add on is superb! Matthew
This was very tough and I struggled a lot with the dips and then the finisher! I did give up at the end and I did not perform the triceps push-ups, but I am sure I'll do better next time. Thanks Caroline, for another amazing upper body!
Love your final iconic move with arms raised high up stretching on your toes!
We need to name and keep it forever!
When I see thus I’m enjoying the stretch, relieved to be finished and psyching myself up to do the add on! Yes...it’s definitely an iconic moment in each workout! Enjoy your day! Matthew
Hi HH qnd Matthew, so true!!!its such a closure all together.i love her waving so kindly with a big smile after the 'storm'..
It's been long since worked chest workout. Most awaiting. Have great workout Girvantors ❤️
Morning Dhamodharan....hope you have a great workout today! It’s a tough one...but I know you’ll smash it! Have fun! Matthew
Day 12 complete! My Lord are my hands shaking! Being on the mat is deceptive, I fooled myself into thinking I'll be resting today but nope, Caroline said NOOOOO gurl, you have to put in the work! I had to modify the last movements as I can't lift my whole body yet but still got in a workout, hopefully I'll be able to do the full push-up in the near future. I used 10 and 6kg weights for this workout. Roll on Day 13 💪🏾 ❤️
Hi Ebele ~ I couldn't do even one full body push up last year June. But after doing Caroline's workout consistently until today, I may do 3-5 full body pushup continuously without stopping. You may do it too! Keep it up! 🤩💪🏻👍🏻💐
@@fitme2124 Thank you so much for the encouragement, I'll keep pushing! ❤️
Great session!
Having 3 sets allows you to really feel the movement and contraction as you go along.
After yesterday's big drop in morale and fatigue, it feels good to get back into the swing of things.
Have a great day everyone! See you tomorrow!
You too have a great day, Elisa...and yes...see you for posterior chain tomorrow! I think it;s going to be a great session once again! Your words about the three sets are so true...the intensity just builds up so that the third set is really hard! Enjoy the rest of your day! Matthew
I absolutely love training chest & triceps, it always makes me feel super strong and powerful during and after the workout! Can’t wait to give this a go! 💪🏻
Hi...you’ll definitely feel strong after this...and if you get through the finisher then you really are super strong and powerful! That last set of tricep push ups is just killing! Hope you have a great workout! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 You are so right, Matthew. I had to do the last 5 reps of those on my knees.
Same here. I feel like I can conquer the world right now 😁😁
@@opeyemisalau934 Hi Opeyemi...yes my triceps just stopped after about 3 or 4 reps!!
It will be nice to give the legs a rest today, I'm feeling yesterday's super session still! The chest and triceps are definitely going to have a solid workout thanks to Caroline's expertly planned routine. The finisher is going to be a test on the arm and core strength as well. I'm looking forward to this one, I love chest workouts. Time to rise and smile 😃👍👍👋
Enjoy the workout Philippa, great to be working through another series alongside.
Morning Philippa hope you had fun. It was tough but great. Can feel that the chest/arms got a good workout. Abs add on done too. Enjoy your day🙂
Morning Philippa...you are right to say that the finisher is going to be a test of strength! I’m not so often defeated by things but on the final tricep push ups I managed four...then my triceps simply stopped working! Enjoy the workout...and I hope you smash that finisher! Have a lovely day! Matthew
@@tonym7702 definitely it's nice to be back with the community ☕☕☕👍
Hi Philippa! I found yesterday's workout pretty tough! I used only 10kg dumbbells, my legs couldn't take more. What about you? Have a good day! 🙋♀️
What a workout! My arms were still shaking in the cool down! Brilliant. 💪x
Hi Annette...yes what a tough finisher...simply finished my arms off!
I think its brilliant that Caroline is showing everyone that you can use different equipment to supplement their workout. For leg day, I use a weighted vest to add a much heavier load without having to strain my arms/wrist.
Hi Anthony...glad to hear that you are using interesting extra pieces of equipment! I’ve read before that you use a weighted vest..interesting idea to avoid the strain of holding heavy weights! Sounds like a good idea! Hope you have a great workout today! Matthew
Hi Anthony! As Matthew said, it certainly sounds interesting! I use straps but it's still heavy on the arms...
Hi Anthony, I do recall you saying that before. I might have to look into that because I know my grip is a limiting factor on leg day, and I can’t hoist two weights heavier than 20 lbs up to my shoulders like Caroline does! I’ve seen a homemade version of a vest with weight plates in a knapsack too. The vest is probably a lot less awkward though! Have a good day!
@@alisonryckman7711 hi Alison, if you are going to invest in a weighted vest, buy one that is as comfortable as you can.
I recommend one Made of soft neoprene material, stuffed with iron pellets. AVIOD the cheaper ones stuffed with sand. If you want can give you an example, let me know.
@@anthonycraig274 Thank you, Anthony. I was just looking on Fitness Depot for their offerings, and it seems they have what you describe. Next time we are there, I’ll look into it. Hopefully, it fits and is adjustable to my small frame. In the product video, they show a guy doing triceps pushups while wearing it! That would be a challenge!!
This was hard but i absolutely loved it!!! Used my 25s for chest, 20s and 15s for fly's. Your the best Caroline!! Feeling that chest pump...lol
Yesssssssssss !! Thanks for the upload Caroline, have a great workout everyone 😁🤩 I’m really enjoying the series, hope you all are too. Right time for some espresso ☕️ and Let’s go! 😎
Morning Tony...you’ll need a super strong double espresso today to get you through the tricep push ups in the finisher! Have fun! Matthew
Salut Tony ! J'espère que tu as passé un bon week-end de Pâques, et que tu as aimé ce cours. Bonne journée !
@@matthewalmond8274 😂😂 so true, talk about trembling triceps on the bike ride to work!!!! Have a great day Matthew - this was my fave workout so far, the intensity pushed me to failure throughout. I feel so blessed to have had the foundations laid through 2020 to now for this Iron Series! How you finding the additional training for Mays half Marathon, hope all is going well ? 👏👏
@@isabelleweiler5603 Gooooooood Matin Isabelle ! Je me sens tellement béni que nous ayons eu le chemin pour cela pavé des défis précédents et des séries intermittentes entre les deux. J'espère que vous avez passé de bonnes Pâques et que vous avez apprécié celle-ci, mes mollets et mes triceps se sentaient certainement encore cette semaine travailler ce matin à vélo pour aller travailler !! 😂
@@tonym7702 Hi Tony...so far all is good...my half marathon is on the last day of iron series! I’ll have done some intense training by then!
I love her workouts ❤ You really feel them and looking at her is motivation enough lol Just gotta stay consistent. Nothing that’s worthwhile is easily attainable. You gotta work for it
Ooooweeeee! Nice pump! This was just like a gym workout! I am so excited to be increasing weights a bit! I love IRON SERIES- THANK YOU CAROLINE! And all the girvanators for their awesome and motivating comments on these.
I have been working out with dumbbells for about 2 years and I am also able to do push-ups, however by the finisher I was unable to do even one regular push-up! Praise the Lord! Thank you Caroline!
Thank you. I can’t move🤣went to failure many times. Love everything you do, Caroline!❤️🙏
Oh Caroline… I love you add more upper body programs in Iron series…. Exactly my goal.. I am still weak with push-ups but can add more weights with shoulder press and curls… my endurance is visibly enhanced with 1 min interval… I purposely focus on the muscles along spine and around shoulder blades that really help me dealing with heavier weights.. the control, the coordination, the idea I had before but not knowing why and how now all become so crystal clear and meaningful… 🙏 thank you…
I'm an upper body girl so love anything Caroline gives me on the area. She takes it to just the right level for me and I'm upping my weights all the time. THANKS, Caroline!!! Loved it
Leg day workout from yesterday was so refreshing !!Looking forward to train chest and triceps !! as always it's another brilliantly planned workout!! Thank you so much Caroline for everything that you do for us!! Forever grateful to you!! Have a wonderful day Caroline and everyone!!
I loved the 3 sets of each!
Thanks Caroline Girvan!!
Thank you, Caroline. That was so challenging and I loved it! My arms and hands are shaking like crazy. I love how everything you do has such attention to detail. I love the exercises you choose and the way you sequence them, the music is great, and I love your colors and decor vibe for the iron series. You are a genius! Keep up the great work!
Lovely comment. Kerri...very well said! I love all the things about Caroline's workouts that you mention here! As you say she is a genius!! Hope you are having a happy day! Matthew
Chest and triceps the higlight of my week!!! These workouts are so well planned out thank you so much for this workout!!!! #1😀😀😀😀😀
Caroline, your videos are great! Pre showing next exercise, timer with audio ending signal, outstanding music, a beautiful warm smile combine to making a workout pleasurable and effective. Thanks so much for what you do.
PS I am 76
What an inspiration you are. Thanks for posting this.
What a fabulous chest and triceps workout , you'll definitely going to feel the burn but you will love it. Thanks Caroline for the information on the push up bars.
Morning everyone! This will be a solid and challenging upper body session! A great format that will test us mentally and phisically. Thank you Caroline, can't wait!
Morning Manuela...you are quite correct! This is definitely a very challenging session! I found the last parts hardest...dips...then a tough finisher! That last set of tricep push ups is hard! Have a great workout today!
Hi dear Mattew, oh yes I find It very hard too... during the finisher my arms were burning, almost paralyzed for the effort...! Reason why I'm very proud for having resisted! Have a lovely continuation of the day and see you tomorrow 😃
It burns!!! By the time I got to the finisher my arms were shaking so hard, I couldn't do as many push ups as I had imagine I would 😔 but still am getting stronger every day thanks to you
Hi Blenda...I know what you mean!! By that last set of push ups my triceps just wouldn’t work any more! So brilliant that you are seeing such strength gains! Shows just how hard you’ve been working! Well done! Have a lovely day! Matthew
Same here! With fresh arms, I can do decent push ups and triceps push ups. But here, the Finisher finished me. 🤣
Wow. My arms are feeling this already! I had to do the push-ups at the end on my knees and I don’t normally do that! My arms were jelly! Thanks Caroline!
omggg me tooo!!
Same 😅
Today again an iron upper with you. It's always fun to repeat them 💙
I loved the modified dip recommendation! I so needed this tricep workout! thank you CG
Staying consistent again. Yay! Posting my review is almost like showing my consistency. Today's workout wrecked me. Mercy I am barely able to use my upper body. I had to use lighter than usual weights and do all but a few wide push ups on my knees. Not sure why: Just tired, not hydrated, still sore and tired in my muscles from previous workout...? Not sure but I did it and that is the important part. Thank you again for a great workout and a great series.
I did this with 15kg and 8kg! I can't believe I can press that much!! Thanks CG!
This workout was amazing, chest and triceps are shaking! Loved it, thank you Caroline. ❤️
So true! Especially during the dips, my arms were shaking so much!! XD
Hi everyone...I can certainly feel my calves after yesterday...so I’m glad it’s upper body today! I’m excited to do this chest and triceps day...lots of great exercises...and a fantastic push up finisher! I haven’t done many push ups since the push ups workout at the end of endgame...so a good chance to check my form! Have a great workout everyone! I’ll let you know how I get on later! Matthew
Hi Matthew, your legs will have a good rest today! ☺️ The push ups finisher is going to be a killer, very excited to embrace the pain and work harder ❤️🔥Hope you enjoy your workout, let us know how you get on.
Hi Matthew. It will be nice to give the legs a rest today for sure.
The chest and triceps are definitely going to have a solid workout thanks to Caroline's expertly planned session. The finisher is going to be a test on the arm and core strength as well. Have fun, and enjoy I know you'll give it 💯👍.
I only completed legs 6 hours ago. So the ache is very fresh in the mind and body.
I did the legworkout last week and my legs hurt for the whole week I worked them so hard.
My hands are still sore from the upper body workout since Sunday lol😭😭 I think I will struggle with this one a bit
This one was certainly a killer! Start to finish, with the 1min x 3 sets, really challenging. Those push-ups at the end were spectacularly hard after such a solid session!
Great upper body workout! Thank you Caroline 🙏
Thank you Caroline for these 30 minutes workouts are so on point.
Right when I was looking for a Chest/Tricep workout! Cheers Caroline for the grueling workout :)
Woowee!! I was able to use 25lb to “match” Caroline’s 10KG so I was hooting and hollering for my progress. Doing skull crushers with a new heavier weight is exhilarating and only slightly nerve racking. I was on top of the world… until the finisher. Looks like I have plenty of room for improvement in my push-up game. 🤣 looking forward to the rest of the series to see what other PRs I can manage! Thank you for another amazing workout!!
Hi Amber...your experience was very much like mine...the finisher really did finish me!! My triceps simply stopped working by the end! Wasn't it a tough one! Enjoy the rest of your day and see you tomorrow! Matthew
Chest and Triceps is my favourite day and this didn't disappoint. I also love the 3x sets rather than 'no repeat' but that's just me 😁
Amazingly fun as always, thank you again 💪💚
Great workout!!! I had to do some of those push-ups on my knees though!!! My arms were on 🔥!!!
22/11/2022 Round 2 Day 12 DONE!!! I probably repeat myself but I love this program and I love meeting you every day Caroline to share this moment with you and the whole team! Thank you my lovely coach and beautiful day to you!
I had to tie my hair back at 30% through and struggled to lift my arms above my head; I knew it was gonna be a tough one. But got through it!
Thanks to you Caroline I've gotten into the best shape of my life after having babies! I'm very grateful.
Loving these 30 minute workouts. Thank you Caroline.
After doing the leg day workout with my new dumbbells I can do this too with heavy weights thr was a time when I can't even lift 5kgs and now omg I don't have words to describe ..I've gained more strength and power and I'm very proud of it and glad that I found caroline who helped me found out my weaknesses and my strength as far as today's session I'm really looking forward to do the finisher as I love push-ups let's go guys and let's push ourselves beyond the limits and kick smash this session..
Morning Kareem...it’s really brilliant to read how you are using heavier weights and feeling so strong and confident! That shows just how superbly hard you’ve been working! Hope you smash the workout today! There’s a super tough finisher! Have fun! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 yes Matthew absolutely I'm really enjoying my new weights and these workouts too hope u are having a good time too doing these workouts 💪 🙂
Intense session! Those push-ups finished my muscles. Loved it. Thanks, Caroline!
This workout routine was demanding. Thanks Caroline 💪🏻🥰❤️
Triceps definitely got a good workout! I went heavier today on diamond and regular presses so I wasn’t surprised when I could barely do those last pushups on the bars. Opted for the cobras today, nice & slow ones, felt every second of those. Stayed with my regular DB choice for chest press and flyes knowing 3x1 minute sets was going to be enough of a challenge. Definitely enjoying these minute sets, gives a chance to tweak and play around with tempo when you feel like it. Thank you for another great workout!
Excellent workout!! This Iron program is amazing 👍
This one is very intense 🥵 my arms were shaking! Those dips… oh my goodness 😱 thank you very much Caroline !
Hi Caroline hi everyone ! My back and my delts are still sore from Sunday’s workout, but I’m looking forward to smashing this one ! Chest workouts make me feel strong 💪🏼 those push-ups as a finisher will be tough, let’s go ! 🤩
Morning Aurelie...hope you have a great workout today! You are so correct...the push up finisher is really tough! My triceps simply stopped working! Have fun...and hope you have a lovely day! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 hi Matthew ! Same for me 😱my arms were shaking like crazy ! Those dips were so tough ! I enjoyed the burn 🔥 have a good day !
Excited to start! Feel strong after Chest and tris Sesh. Got pushup bars that haven't used yet and I get to try em today. Let's Push and Smash this! 👊
Have a great workout y'all! 😊
Done ✔️ plus 12min. 4×4 Ab wo. Wow!! Chest were shaking and Triceps 💥. Toughest were dips and Finisher as Arms were dying. So.. Pushup bars def. easier on the wrists but more challenging doing the push-ups. Could only do about 3 wide and abt 6 of regular. It's a Fun challenge. 🤩
Thanks Caroline! ❤️
Hope you enjoy using your push up bars for the finisher! 😍 Let us know how you get on.
Have a great workout Trish - 💥 💥 push up bars are great I’m sure you’ll enjoy and reap the rewards!
@@yasminealhalaby7118 Hi Yasmine. Thank you. Yep, enjoyed the challenge of using the pushup bars. At first was scared of falling on my face 😆. Felt better on the wrists but tough trying to go deeper. Hope you have a great workout as well! 😊
@@tonym7702 Thanks Tony! It was a fun challenge using it. My triceps are pumped. Have a great workout! Enjoy! 😊
Well done Trish you rocked this one. Agree with you dips were very ouchie and the finisher finished me off. Managed the first 2 fine but when it came to tricep ones couldn't lift myself off the floor. Did those from my knees. Add on done too but decided to do a 15 min upper abs too that I have never done before from aBout a year ago so all set for the day. Have a good day🙂
What a great push day!!! Solid exercises and repetition of the sets. I love it ❣️ Can't wait to start this and feel strong after that
Morning...yes the repetition really makes the intensity build up...and the finisher is just so hard! Hope you have fun today! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 hello Matthew! Push ups are always hard😅. Even if they are in the beginning of the workout. Have a wonderful day!!
That push-up trio finisher... omg lol 😂 so excited stretchhhhh it out now!
That finisher finished ME 😰 that was so tough! I’m tracking all the weights I use this time around so that when I do this program again in a few months, I can hopefully see some progress in the amount of weight I can lift!
I am addicted to your workouts. Can't wait to do this one tomorrow.
The dips 🥵 3 minutes of pure grit
😅 🔥 💪 Definitely used the timer as just a guide today. This one was FIRE from beginning to end. I was relieved that she only used 1 dumbbell for skull crushers, but they were still brutal. Used 30 and 15 pound dumbbells. Managed more push-ups than I thought I would be able to at the end, with the tricep push-ups on a bench.
Training the triceps is always a big challenge for me! But nothing can make me give up now 😍
A couple things to remember when doing this one: 1. there’s 3 rounds of each set. That starts feeling pretty heavy by the end, so make sure you choose your weights well and pace yourself! 2. Going heavy-ish makes you feel strong and awesome until you get to the dips and can’t do a single one so have to sub them out for cobra pushups…naturally leaving NOTHING in the tank for the finisher 😬 Thank you for another awesome workout…can’t wait to do it again in the future to see the improvement.
Really enoyed this one, but it was hard. I played around with my weights and actually managed to do a few chest presses with 12.5kg weights today, which is crazy and I'm so proud of myself😄
My triceps still need a bit of work, but I tried to challenge them with weight today as well without compromising form.
Tricep pushups remain very frustrating for me, but I do think that focusing on the negatives is gradually giving me some more range of motion (it feels like I do semi decent half reps now, so yay).
Thanks for another cool session, Caroline!
Much love from South Africa
Perfect morning for birthday 😁I usually train in the evening after work but I took a day off and did it just now in the morning also done hamstrings from last week prior to this so I can say I had a solid 1 hour FULL body session 🤩love it!
Morning Annet...I hope you have a very happy birthday...hope you have a lovely day and are able to do something nice to celebrate! And what a way to start the day off! You should feel so proud that you’ve done this workout and glutes and hamstrings from last week! Well done!! Have a lovely day! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Thank you very much Matthew! I absolutely love the feeling of accomplishment it gives, and I was so energetic all day 😃here's to many more healthy years :)
Hi Caroline and everyone! You amaze me with your afore thoughts about even educating us on using any equipment, we may have in our homes! That was a smashing WO, I love the way you always allow for improvisation! Thank you once again gorgeous lady! Enjoy all! 🌹
Morning Geri...lovely words about Caroline...as you say she is always so thoughtful! Wasn’t it another great workout...but wasn’t that finisher just so hard! Enjoy your day! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Hi Matthew nice to hear from you! Yes indeed the finisher was tough, but I managed to do a 10 min abs! Enjoy your day! Geri
@@gerimulvany3443 Hi Geri...yes I managed the 4x4 abs...enjoyed doing this! See you tomorrow!
Shaking by the skullcrushers! Loved it. Thank you, Caroline 🧡
Great workout! Usually I can do 25 + pushups in a row, but during the iron finisher I could only manage 5 reps of the wide pushups before failure, did the regulars 1 at a time, then had to do modified tricep pushups because I couldn't even do 1 rep!
Great workout! Everything is burning in a good way! Thank you Caroline! Loved it! ❤️
Gosh, I will be so intense: '1 min exercise *3' speaks to me in volumes. I reckon those dips are going to be a challenge though but so worth ever second of it👌. Caroline, again you have read my mind 🤗 may I say that thanks to all of your work here and your exercises and your motivation, I have even grown from a few push ups to 30. Thank you for helping me get there💪💕
Hi Tina...that's so brilliant to read!! 30 push ups is a really significant achievement...you should feel so proud of yourself! Hope you are having a happy day! Matthew
Thank you @@matthewalmond8274. Indeed, proud and even more motivated! I am planning to add another 10 by June. Form and quality reps always 💪
This workout left me feeling so badass, loved it
this one was SO FUN! i was thinking that my arms didn't feel too maxed out....but when I got into that first pushup of the finisher, my arms collapsed and I just went down, lol. it caught me by surprise, and I kept going after that, tried to to my best!
That went by so fast, and it was a total slow burn! My shoulders were dead by time the pushup finisher came round! 💪💪🔥🔥
I love this gal. The fact that these workouts are free is why UA-cam is so great.
Finished this about 30 mins ago in addition to the 4x4 Ab workout and my muscles ARE STILL feeling that burn ! Outstanding workout ! Thanks again CG💕
Back to push ups! It was hard at the end since my arms were tired 🔥but loved the whole workout! Thanks once again CG 🙏🏻🌸
Yes...weren’t those push ups just so hard at the end! Have a great day! Matthew
Great workout and the finisher was killer!! Pump that IRON 💪💪
Shaking so much!!!! Thank you for this workout
This looks great as usual! Chest and tris is my favorite combo. I always preveiw the workout before I do it and see what weights you are using and how many reps you do in the time frame and I think okay this looks easy enough, Ive got this. (You make it look easy lol) Then about a third of the way through the workout I think, wrong again!, this is hard! but its great as it makes me challenge myself to push past comfort zone. Thank you for another great workout!
😆 I am exactly the same… I get to a point and I think what?? My arms were totally depleted after this!! Well done Helen!!🤩👊🏼
this was definitely challenging for me but I’m happy and stronger now that’s it’s done!! Thank you Caroline!!
Yess! Upper body + Abs! Let’s all enjoy this. Happy workout everyone!
Used 7.5kg for most and a machine chest press. My right arm is so weak it cannot carry the same weight as my left! The push ups was a real finisher!
Super excited! I can’t believe it’s day 12 already!!!
Right it’s going fast
I know….!!! Have a great workout Molly 💥 💥
Morning Molly...hope you have a great workout...enjoy the finisher! And hope you have a lovely day afterwards! Matthew
This was so challenging and such a good burn!
Thank you so much for this amazing series Caroline!!! LOVE you!!
You made my day again Caroline. Thank you
Laying down does not mean rest at all. That’s was a very physical and mental workout. Push-up I’m not good at. These were practically impossible. But a great routine. Thanks Caroline
Another great one!!
My triceps are cooked. In a good way. Love this Caroline!!
