what does our people welcome back to the
0:01
my protein Channel so Mario's response
0:04
in for those who actually do not know me
0:06
I'm one of them my protein athletes so
0:08
today we're gonna do is gonna run
0:09
through a few upper body workout just
0:12
using dumbbells so a few questions that
0:14
you may ask before we actually start so
0:16
first question you may ask as what level
0:18
of deaf Ruthie is that's workout and
0:20
it's for all levels of fitness
0:22
I'll have adjustable weights so that
0:24
means I can adjust my weight according
0:25
to each exercise if you have only the
0:28
same way then you can just adjust the
0:30
reps according to each exercise so the
0:32
only thing you need as your dumbbells
0:34
but you could use the side of a couch
0:36
you could use the floor I use a sort of
0:39
a hinge but it's not bad it's just what
0:41
I keeps on my claws but it's suitable
0:43
for our bench
0:44
that's what code works every single
0:45
muscle and the upper body attached with
0:47
us Walker as make sure you squeeze and
0:49
contract the muscle properly make sure
0:51
you have the main to muscle connection
0:53
and slow down the ascetics okay let's
0:55
begin let's pick a me okay to start off
0:58
what you're gonna do is do a warm up
1:00
really warm up the muscles this could be
1:02
dynamic stretching you could use some
1:04
bands or we could do is just replicate
1:06
the movements they were gonna be doing
1:08
just with a later dumbbell really warm
1:10
up the muscle first exercise we will be
1:11
doing as the shoulder press only the
1:14
dumbbell shoulder place to start but you
1:16
can do this either way you can do it
1:18
seated even on the floor or you can do
1:20
it standing up the reason why I'm doing
1:22
it seated is to put more focus on the
1:24
shoulders take it away from the legs and
1:26
the core and really isolate the shoulder
1:29
muscles to attach the last one is just
1:30
talking your elbows slightly make sure
1:33
you come below 90 degrees so come below
1:35
your shoulder level and make sure you
1:37
drive up and contact the shoulder
1:39
muscles when you do ask just put your
1:40
feet flat on the floor keep your core
1:42
nice and tight and keep your back nice
1:44
and straight for that's what I just try
1:45
to go as heavy as I can and I've managed
1:47
to get around 12 to 15 reps for this one
1:52
well because we started by far pushy
1:55
exercise when you go to uphill exercise
1:57
so next when we do as a supinated get up
2:00
bent over law so that's when I went as
2:02
heavy as I can as well the main tax for
2:05
this one as stand up straight holding
2:07
the weights so make sure your palms are
2:09
faced away from you from there from the
2:12
standing position we're going to do is
2:13
drive the hats back bend the knees
2:15
slightly and then lower back down
2:17
keeping it nice and straight make sure
2:19
your chest is always up so when you're
2:20
doing the movement make sure you tuck in
2:23
your elbows so across your body and the
2:25
moving of the dumbbell should be toward
2:27
your hips not straight up toward your
2:29
hips the muscles right here obviously
2:34
biceps and back make sure you squeeze as
2:37
high as you can at the top you get more
2:39
lot engagement and just take this
2:41
movement nice and easy so make sure you
2:42
squeeze at the top and slow them over
2:44
the dome and you're bringing the weight
2:45
back down
2:47
thud and back to push what we're gonna
2:49
do as a chess players only do the
2:51
dumbbell bench press
2:52
that's possession weights on the floor
2:54
pull them back and make sure you're flat
2:56
on the bench or if you're on the floor
2:57
you can do that at the same coach
2:59
exactly same movement but make sure
3:01
you're stable
3:02
and you keep your core nice and tight so
3:05
from there I like to tuck on my elbows
3:06
around 45 degrees make sure that my
3:09
hands my my rest are above my elbows or
3:12
old times make sure you push up squeeze
3:15
your elbows together and also squeeze
3:17
and contract your chest as hard as you
3:19
can and your baby back down Misha's
3:21
stretch the muscle fibers in the chest
3:23
loading the way to below 90 degrees and
3:26
then also explode it up and then squeeze
3:28
it and contract in the chest at top you
3:30
should through us and your front delt
3:31
your chairs and also your triceps okay I
3:37
would say these are the three heaviest
3:39
one so I didn't change the weight for
3:41
any of these but now what I'm going to
3:43
do is I'm going to adjust the way and
3:44
we'll take some more for the next few so
3:46
first one we've got another pool moving
3:48
we're gonna focus on high lock so the
3:50
upper back and also the rear delts so
3:53
that's what it's called that rear delt
3:54
fly okay that's one it's very important
3:56
to the exactly the same setup as the
3:58
bent-over law the only difference for
4:00
this one as we wouldn't be more flared
4:02
out from here we're gonna do as palms
4:05
towards the body we're gonna drive our
4:08
elbows up we drive and elbows up I want
4:10
to do is point the dumbbell down and
4:12
also focus a lot more on the Via del but
4:15
that's one keep your back nice and
4:16
stable and keep your core nice and tight
4:18
when you come out on top after you can
4:20
squeeze as hard you can I would sign
4:23
more later plus one because I don't want
4:24
you forcing the way up but make sure you
4:26
have that rear delt connection what I
4:28
mean by that says keep your elbows more
4:30
thin because if you straighten them and
4:32
you may feel like they are triceps and
4:34
definite possessions but by keeping them
4:36
bad and forcing it back for your range
4:39
I'm moving your focus a lot more on the
4:41
veer doubts now experiments tell on the
4:43
shoulders gonna work our lateral don't
4:45
know so the next movement is the lateral
4:47
raise so I'm gonna sit and you can do it
4:50
standing whatever you prefer whatever is
4:52
more comfortable for you same as a
4:53
shoulder press or the seated lateral
4:55
raise does as for
4:57
it's an isolated showdown more so that's
4:59
what mushiya dumbbells are by your side
5:01
and your palms are faced Ords each other
5:03
next move you're gonna do as keep you
5:05
there would've been like slightly bent
5:07
you wanna bring them up to your side
5:08
from there I don't want you coming above
5:11
shoulder length or shoot a level I want
5:13
you to keep your hands your rests your
5:15
elbows and your shoulders and laying
5:17
with each other that means it's gonna
5:19
focus a lot more than a lot - they're
5:21
the most important but for that's at the
5:23
top as ton the dumbbells down is a few
5:26
poor note some drink last Saturday night
5:28
so that's why it's very important to
5:30
slowly ascend to extend it just long
5:32
it's the muscle fibers and it really
5:34
does benefit you more okay next one
5:36
we've got has a dumbbell fly so like I
5:38
said I'm doing this on the bench who
5:40
likes or a bench you does on the floor
5:42
whatever you prefer
5:43
so start possession make sure you bring
5:44
the dumbbells back in your chest and
5:46
push up like a hex press from there
5:48
we're gonna do a slowly bring the
5:49
dumbbells down and almost like a
5:51
circular motion
5:52
that's just long gates the muscle fibers
5:54
in the chest then you get a certain
5:55
point your thumbs move and you have a
5:57
stretch come up and almost tap the back
6:00
of the dumbbells together that's means
6:02
your point focus a lot more on the lower
6:04
part of your chest and you have an
6:05
amazing contraction this one just take
6:08
that's nice and slow in there same
6:09
tricks and even a little bit more slow
6:11
in the way up because it will actually
6:13
squeeze your chest harder and it'll be
6:15
much more - cool
6:16
[Music]
6:19
oK we've got two more exercises the last
6:22
one I'm going to do is focus on our
6:23
triceps so each head of our triceps we
6:26
want to do the tricep kickback so if
6:28
that's one we're going to just put one
6:29
hand on our ledge or the bench or the
6:33
CDF coach we're gonna do is bring your
6:35
back nice and strip and bring it down
6:37
slightly from there I'm gonna drive your
6:39
elbow back you should it's an effects
6:41
possession and all you want to do is
6:43
move just your forearm or you know just
6:45
bring the weight up and squeeze a tricep
6:47
as hard as you can at the top just pause
6:52
like maybe two seconds and then slowly
6:54
bring the weight back down to the
6:55
starting position but do not move the
6:57
elbow if you're not moving the elbow you
6:59
take the pressure away from the tricep
7:01
and all we want to do here as long it
7:03
and shorten the muscle really working
7:05
the tricep so once you finish one arm
7:09
just switch over and do the next time
7:11
exactly the same
7:14
okay last exercise you were doing nice
7:16
and simple we're just going to be doing
7:18
that the bicep curl so that's what I'm
7:20
going to keep our arms
7:21
supinated so the gap should be palms
7:23
away from us at the bottom when you come
7:26
up the palms should be facing us that's
7:29
what I just focus on the bicep
7:31
completely make sure you keep your
7:33
elbows almost a little bit forward if
7:35
you pull them back it focuses on a
7:37
different part the bicep if your neck
7:39
was nice and fast and keep them forward
7:41
that's what I've went through the same
7:42
way as the last ones so I'm just trying
7:45
to overload the muscle as much as I can
7:47
I probably died about 12 to 15 reps on
7:49
this one really squeezing the muscle
7:51
make sure you have contracted at the top
7:53
so a lot of second at the top squeezing
7:55
and then slow on the way down
7:56
the most important part that's moving as
7:59
the way down so they're centric if you
8:01
do start to struggle this one just
8:02
change the one out of time so rearm get
8:05
the left on a break and then come back
8:06
up the left arm and that really gives
8:08
you a lot more reps in the tank okay to
8:11
finish off make sure you're doing some
8:13
sort of cooldown
8:14
this can be a little bit more dynamic
8:15
stretching or static stretching that's
8:17
just to cool down the body and make sure
8:19
that you're not injured for the next
8:20
time you don't work it so now it's a
8:22
complete upper body workout just using
8:24
dumbbells nice and
8:26
some books also as probably the best and
8:28
effect of dumbbell workout you're gonna
8:30
get make sure you take it too furious or
8:32
I triangle it maybe one wrap two wraps
8:35
off the real reason why I'm doing this
8:37
is because I've not get the heaviest on
8:40
those here and you're trying overload
8:42
the muscles somehow and make sure the
8:45
stuff safe but try and get the figure on
8:47
most of the sets that's will benefit you
8:49
more and all replicate what you've been
8:51
doing the jump
8:52
that's all benefit you more because I
8:53
sort of mean that you are progressively
8:54
overloading your feeling maybe you get
8:57
our National read the next time or you
9:00
may end up being able to do more sets
9:02
for each exercise trying to either three
9:04
to four sets and that's just enough to
9:07
overload the muscle and fatigue okay for
9:09
each set trying not go above twenty reps
9:12
I tiny step between ten and twenty so
9:14
for the first three exercises I'll try
9:17
and get either twelve to fifteen reps
9:19
the ones for the run exercise I try and
9:22
let me chop maximum at twenty if you
9:24
wanted to take the intensity even higher
9:26
slow down the movement eccentric and
9:29
concentric make sure you slow them right
9:31
down so even three seconds three seconds
9:34
for each one and make sure you squeeze
9:36
the muscle as hard as you can you could
9:38
also add resistance bands and this is
9:40
just a different way of adding more
9:42
resistance but just be careful that
9:44
because I ended up breaking maladjusted
9:45
button like yesterday and doing I'm
9:47
moving and dive wrapping twice bar he
9:50
home for the next time I was that Tyrone
9:52
sixty seconds from Anna the reason for
9:55
that is it gives your muscles a a little
9:57
bit of time to recover but not too long
10:00
that you're gonna take the fatigue away
10:02
from the muscle you want to train and
10:03
the house enemy and trying fatigue the
10:06
muscle as much as you can so sexy
10:08
seconds is enough a lot so that has a
10:10
complete workout so if you enjoyed this
