The Only 3 Upper-Body Exercises I Still Do After 6+ Years of Working Out
Not the bench press or bicep curls
When I started learning Muay Thai, working out in the gym turned into a tedious chore.
Loath to lose my hard-earned gains, I dragged my butt to hit the once-exciting but now-boring weights.
But with the fun leeched out of it, I stopped pushing myself as hard — and my gains started eroding.
Alarmed, I stripped my workout program to the barest essentials — reducing my 2.5-hour-long upper body sessions to only 3 exercises and a handful of sets.
Lo-and-behold, I not only maintained my gains but increased my relative strength—despite losing over 6 lbs of body fat thanks to the strenuous Muay Thai workouts.
Nothing but a testament to the superiority of quality over quantity.
I want to share these 3 marvelous exercises with you.
Strange but true. The best parts are the time saving and simple focus. You do your few sets and then you're done for the day. Nice write up bro
I do 6 sets with a two minute breather between sets. The weight vest was a powerful addition, I'm on 10kg with a bodyweight of 72ish. The change to biceps is phenomenal. No gym no problem!
Keep up the good work
