20 minutes may seem a short duration for a workout but when you combine slow and controlled movements with great technique and continuous thinking as you lift and lower with compound movements and structured rest you can accomplish a lot in those 20 minutes! We can look forward to hitting those arms towards the end!

For this upper body workout you will need some dumbbells, a mat and a chair of bodyweight dips!

The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 17.5kg each however I use 2 x 6kg each for the shoulders and biceps!

I have called this workout ‘HARD’ as that was exactly my thought throughout many of these exercises… it was hard to ensure I was controlling the dumbbell during the lowering portion! You will see what I mean when you come to the back, shoulder and bicep portion!!

Take your time, breathe and feel your strength and ability to control with each rep!!
