Killer Combo Workout
This workout is primarily bicep, back and shoulders, but by adding the lower element to each exercise, the metabolic benefit is multiplied! The isometric holds during the lower portion of some of the exercises will challenge your muscles in ways they are not used to working. Make sure to keep your form and concentrate on doing the motions with control. This is a workout for people who already have good form doing the individual exercises and are ready to try combining upper and lower elements together.
Have fun building muscles and torching calories! I have included a short video with all the exercises in one video so you can see how to perform the compound exercises.
