STRENGTH

ARMED AND DANGEROUS


While Workout A began with a strength-


focused exercise before launching into


your circuit, in Workout B you’ll go all-out


as you start with a cardio-based move


that not only blitzes body fat to bring out


your abs, but also builds your biceps. The


greater kilojoule burn earned from the


cardio will provide a growth-stimulating


testosterone boost. Don’t worry – you’ll


finish the circuit with an almighty arms


pump, too. Consider it our gift to you.


For a higher-kilojoule burn that will reveal
your abs, work your legs. Stand with
two dumbbells on your thighs, palms
facing you, knees slightly bent (A). With
a flat back, hinge at your hips. Lower
the weights over the course of three
seconds until your hands are below
knee level (B). Pause, then squeeze
your glutes as you stand. Take on skull
crushers without rest after 10-12 reps.

DUMBBELL ROMANIAN DEADLIFT
3 ROUNDS OF 10-12 REPS

This cardio move will ensure your body
burns fat from the start. Strap into a rower
and grab the handles with an overhand
grip. Bend your knees, leaning your torso
forward (A), then straighten your legs and
pull the handle towards you (B). Row hard
for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds.
That’s one round. Do seven in week one
and add an extra round every week. Now
it’s time for your circuit.
