Video – What I’m Doing on Upper Body Days in the Gym

Join me on an early morning Saturday gym visit as I train upper body. If you have any questions feel free to comment them below. I spent some time filming some chit chat before and after to help answer some questions and give some insight into my current training as of September 2016. I also got a new camera which makes vlogging in the gym much easier than lugging around my big Canon 60D and the sometimes crappy quality I get on my iPhone. It is the Sony A500 and it has a flip screen that lets me shoot in a “selfie” mode so it’s much easier for me to share tips and talk with you about the workout so hopefully I can use that more and make even better workout videos for you guys!

As I mention I train upper body 2-3 times a week depending on the week and how the days fall. Legs I do 2 times a week and cardio 2-3 times a week with abs as well. Lately my upper body workouts have been really showing some progress with definition and I feel like everything just is working! There’s nothing better than seeing your results coming through slowly and surely. I’ve been hitting back hard and feeling sore, but in a good way! I’ve thrown in more push ups and pull ups which work so much of the upper body too! I’ll work up a new video/post all about my lower body training as well as meals and diet which I update a bit in the fall too.

As for current supplements I am taking I have switched things up slightly but not by much:

Pre-Workout: Cellucor Pink Lemonade (1 scoop in a very small amount of water, I take it as a shot first thing when I wake up before the gym)

Intra Workout: Cellucor Alpha Aminos (1.5 scoops in a 20 ounce shaker bottle and I drink that during my workout it also has some caffeine for energy which helps on early morning workout days)

Post Workout & anytime during the day: 1-2 scoops of RSP Nutrition Lemon Lime Re-Gen for repair and recovery

Night Time before bed: 2 capsules of True Athlete ZMA to help with rest, recovery and also calm

  2. This is awesome! Thank you so much for posting this! It’s so helpful bc I like to switch up lifts but I get a little self-conscious with a new lift in the gym so this makes it easy to learn the form. Love this!

  4. Hi! I love your workouts. Thanks so much for sharing. It would be really helpful to list out which exercises you do in the body of the post so that when I’m at the gym I don’t have to re-watch the video. I think you have done this with Vines, but its makes the page super slow to load.

    Just another person with an opinion on the internet 🙂

  6. Love this. I’m a novice to weight/strength training and I’m similar physique and weight to you. I just started Monday! Is it better to combine cardio after weight training (such as treadmill or jumping rope) in addition to having a cardio/HIIT day? Or is this split up a.m/p.m. What do you do on your rest days? Schedule seems so packed. My legs are sore! Thanks so much for your response in advance!

  7. Cardio depends on your goals. If you have a bit more body fat to lose than yes you can add in cardio but i do it after lifting. I want to make sure I use all of my energy to lift and then whatever is left goes into cardio. I don’t do lots of cardio in the winter but right now i do enjoy the stair master and some stationary bike. I do the bike on leg day before lifting for about 10 minutes to warm up my knees and hip joints. I do stairs on non-leg day for about 35 minutes. I don’t do running in the winter but in the summer I did a lot outdoors. HIIT is great for fat loss and to keep your body guessing. But weight lifting is cardio too 🙂
