TANGIBLE Triceps and Delts Workout / Strength | EPIC Heat - Day 16

Image
For this shoulder & tricep workout you will need a pair of dumbbells, mat and a chair for bodyweight dips! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 12lb & 10lb each! There is a staple pair of exercises; bodyweight dips followed by a tricep specific exercise! During the dips, extending the feet away will increase the difficulty and bring the feet in closer to body to reduce the bodyweight on the triceps! We finish with a combination of push ups & lateral raises just to burn out! The timer will be on for 45 seconds of work, 15 seconds rest!
