8 Minutes to a Gorgeous Upper Body

The key to rocking shoulder-baring sweaters and blouses this season is pairing them with a strong, toned upper body.

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to speed hours in the gym to achieve an eye-catching upper body. What you need is a challenging workout—one that cranks up the intensity on your muscles and eliminates every last ounce of flab. Enter Tabata training, also known as the four-minute fat-burning workout. There’s a reason this type of high-intensity interval training is the go-to when you want to shed pounds and tone up fast—it works.

Getting started

A Tabata workout (not including warm up and cool down) involves performing 20 seconds of high-intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of active recovery. You repeat this cycle eight times, for a total of four minutes of very short, intense bursts of exercise. In this particular workout, you’ll complete two Tabatas, for a total of eight minutes of high-intensity intervals.

What you need

  • Dumbbells. Choose a weight that’s light enough to perform back-to-back sets, but heavy enough to take you to failure.
  • A Tabata timer or stop watch.

Round 1

Works: Back, biceps, shoulders*

Exercise 1

woman lifting weights

Dumbbell Row—As many as you can in 20 seconds.

Stand with your feet slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart and bend forward at the hips, keeping your back parallel to the floor and head up. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand and let your arms hang straight down from your shoulders. Pull the weights up and back toward your hips, concentrating on pulling with your back muscles, until your elbows are slightly above the level of your back. Pause, then lower the weights. Repeat for reps.

Active rest: Jump on a treadmill or walk in place for 10 seconds.

Exercise 2

Overhead shoulder press—As many as you can in 20 seconds.

Stand erect with your feet shoulder-width apart, head straight, and your eyes focused forward. Grasp a pair of dumbbells using an overhand (palms down) grip and raise them to just above shoulder height. This is your starting position. Keeping your shoulders back, press your arms up overhead. Pause for a moment at the top, then return to start. Repeat for reps.

Active rest: Jump on a treadmill or walk in place for 10 seconds.

Repeat sequence for a total of four minutes.

*Warm up for five minutes on the treadmill beforehand.

Round 2

Works: Triceps, chest, core, shoulders*

Exercise 1

Reebok Introduces First-Ever World Burpee Day

Pike walk—As many as you can in 20 seconds.

Stand with your feet together, arms at your side. Bend at the hips and place your hands on the floor in front of you. Walk your hands forward until you are in a plank position. Keeping your hands firmly planted in place, walk your feet up until they're as close to your hands as possible. Repeat.

Active rest: Jump on a treadmill or walk in place for 10 seconds.

Exercise 2

Dip—As many as you can in 20 seconds.

Place your hands on the edge of a bench with your thumbs facing each other, and extend your legs in front of you, resting your feet on floor in front of you. Bend your elbows and lower your butt, stopping when your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Extend your elbows to come up. Repeat for reps.

Tip: To increase the intensity, use a bench or chair to elevate your feet. You can also place a weight on top your thighs.

Active Rest: Jump on a treadmill or walk in place for 10 seconds.

Repeat sequence for a total of fout minutes.

*Cool down for five minutes on the treadmill afterward.

Although eight minutes may not seem like a lot, you’ll certainly feel the burn. This form of training can be used for virtually any and every exercise. Apply this training protocol to your regular workouts every once in a while to shake things up and break through dreaded plateaus.

New to bodybuilding, quick question on excess weight at the start.

Howdy all. I've just started a regimen and I've cleaned up my diet. One thing I was curious about though, I am currently carry about 25lbs of excess fat. Should I cut off the complex carbs like brown rice and oatmeal until I lean out a bit assuming no loss in protein intake? I know it would be unwise to just look at it from a straight weigh loss #s perspective, but overall would it better in general to try and shave off these fat pounds that way in the beginning? Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone from Australia have a bodybuilding subscription box?

I've heard some good things about them but most boxes that are already out there like Gainz Box don't ship to Australia. I'd also prefer one that is made and distributed in Australia. If anyone could recommend any it would be great.

Edit: I came across one on Instagram called Pump Crate (pumpcrate.com.au) but i think it's coming soon. Looks pretty good though and based in Australia but hasn't got any reviews yet.

19, 5'7, 142 lbs, 10% bodyfat, can I shred to 6%?

I've been lean bulking for 4 months, went from 130 lbs to 142 from about 8% bodyfat to around 11% right now.

I'm wondering, how hard would it be to do a 1 month cut to hopefully get below 7% when already at this level of fitness? I was thinking of doing intermident fasting with a 500cal deficit and some carb cycling, or maybe keto for this mini cut.

What are your thoughts?

I'm 19 years old with grade 1 Spondylolisthesis and have been doing a 45min "warm up"(rolling out, activation exercises, etc) for about 3 years now. The neuromuscular chiropractor I've been seeing has been using prolotherapy to help me continue working out and it's the only thing that's worked for me.

How high is a risk of tearing muscle in bodybuilding? What are the factors that contribute to it?

Say, does the weight you lift or a number of sets/reps influence your risk of injury? I've seen some videos on Youtube where well-trained guys tore their pecs with 225 lbs bench press, which is quite terrifying, as I've never considered 225 to be a heavy weight in that exercise. What is an overall risk of muscle tear in bodybuilding?

REMINDER: This is a BodyBuilding sport subreddit and not about general fitness. 2017 edition

The last one was over a year and a half old so I figured I'd update it.

Any thread with 3 reports will be automatically removed. You have the power to control shit posts!

This subreddit defers to other subreddits' purposes and encourages their use. General fitness posts should be in r/fitness, meme pictures are better at r/meatheads, and so on.

Why was my post deleted?
Generally, posts are deleted when they don’t belong in the r/BB sub.

  1. Self promotion -> r/bb doesn’t allow self promotion posts
  2. General fitness/routine/nutrition questions/working around injuries -> r/fitness
  3. Steroids -> r/steroids (http://bit.ly/2nVgfTO)
  4. Health/injuries -> Your doctor
  5. Memes/funny pictures/funny stories -> r/meatheads or r/swoleacceptance
  6. Motivation video -> r/fitness
  7. Food/supplement reviews/requests -> r/mealprepsunday or r/fitness or r/supplements or r/nutrition
  8. XXXX looking shredded/diced/sick/etc (Rule 3.10)-> r/meatheads
  9. Informational video/blog -> Post the video instead of the blog. Or r/fitness

Answers to general BB questions from threads commonly deleted (updated as people comment):

A. Nutrition

  1. I don’t have time to cook. What do I do?
    Crock pot or pressure cooker. Meal prep every week

  2. I’m eating so much but not gaining weight. Why?
    You’re not eating enough. Track macros and everything that goes into your mouth with a food scale.

  3. I can’t physically eat more but I’m not gaining weight.
    Eat more. See bullet above.

  4. Should/how do I load Creatine?
    No

B. Lifting

  1. What program do I do?
    For beginners, it doesn’t really matter. PPL or U/L splits are the norm here. Work out each muscle group 2x a week.

  2. Do I need a strength base?
    No.

  3. I’ve been lifting but nothing works/ I’m skinny fat and making no progress
    You’re either not eating enough or you aren’t lifting enough (or not sleeping enough). If your weight isn’t going up, you’re not eating enough. If you’re gaining weight but your lifts aren’t going up, you need to lift more.

C. Post your questions in weekly threads

  1. Daily Discussion - Anything goes
  2. Mirin Mondays - Post how good you look
  3. Newbie Tuesdays - New to BB questions
  4. Training Thursdays - Form checks, routine help, etc
  5. Freakout Fridays - Gym memes and funny stories
  6. Steroid Saturday - Steroids (no source talk)
  7. Foodie Fridays - Meal prep/etc

Teen Bodybuilding Cut or Bulk (Pics and Background info)

Hi, I was wondering if i should cut or bulk.

Some background info: I have been weight lifting since March 6,2017 so about a month or so from now. I am now currently 134.5/136.4 lb's (weight differs but around this weight). I was 154 lb last year around August start of sophomore year, and recently got into aesthetics, my biggest inspiration is David Laid (typical lmao). I got into swimming then wrestling my Sophomore Year, but I made incredible gains, and weight loss/fat loss, during my wrestling season. I started at the 152 weight class to 145, and ended my year in 138. I planning not to wrestle next year due to me just wanting to be aesthetic, and I didn't find the sport that fun anymore, but I am very grateful on the impact it had on my life. I basically know how fitness works, macros, programs, etc. I plan to go on a lean bulk for 1 year, and right now I am currently cutting,because last time i checked i had a 14% body fat percentage. I have not been able to check my body fat percentage, but I am sure I'm pretty lean, and have lost fat, and ever since I have started weight lifting I started seeing my abs. (PS. I'm planning to run the Blaha Novice 5x5, to milk my newbie gains)

Here are some pics of me, and thank you for your humble opinions if I should cut or bulk.

http://bit.ly/2pnlMzD

The 3rd pic is me not flexing my abs. Once again thank you for your humble opinions.

Do you guys think I should go on a bulk now? Lot's of you guys said yes. Only reason I haven't gone on a bulk yet is because I thought you had to be 10-8% body fat. And if I plan to bulk It is going to be a lean bulk for 1 year. Also those were pics when I woke up, I did not eat breakfast yet, so i look pretty thin/lean. And i have been doing intermittent fasting for 4 days now, and planning to stop today

Question about bodybuilding while doing cardio

I am bodybuilding for 1,5 year and have a pretty good result now. But there is one thing that's bothering me... My chubby face. They say the best way to get rid of it is to lose weight (so doing some cardio). But if i do that, will i lose my gains? Offcourse i will keep lifting but is it bad to do cardio and lifting at the same time?

Thanks!

Searching for a bodybuilding coach

Hey y'all! Even though this is a question frequently asked, I am looking for an online coach. I am a twenty-something, lifting for over 4 years in both bodybuilding/powerlifting programs. I have been using Avatar Nutrition for macro guidance which is great. But I would love to find a trainer that is knowledgeable in both training and nutrition (preference on flexible dieting) that can help me reach my goals of fat loss and possible competing when ready. If it helps, I am huge fans of Layne Norton, Paul Revelia, and Laurin Conlin. I just can't afford their prices right now. Thanks so much!

How can a teenage bodybuilder get the right nutrition?

I'm 16 and starting to seriously get into bodybuilding. I'm not following a meal plan right now and I'm getting anywhere from 90-130g of protein a day, a good way off from my calculated macros (200g). I'm having trouble getting my parents on board with my meal plan, because every time I bring it up they say "I eat well", "200g is a lot" and "it's expensive" to name a few. What can I do in a situation like mine to get my meals down right? If I don't follow a meal plan, how affected will my gains be?

Questions about bodybuilders genetics/responses to drugs

I notice that with a few of the 90's bodybuilders who were seriously big guys (e.g. kevin levrone, flex wheeler and shawn ray) didn't really have large frames when they were younger nor now that they don't train (aside from levrone) and look like regular dudes. This is in comparison to someone like jay cutler or Ronnie coleman who were seriously large guys and had the frames to suit. My question is whether these guys would be able to put on large amounts of muscle naturally on their frames or they respond well to drugs (or both). Obviously they are the genetic elite in terms of muscle insertion and shape.

Does it make sense to just deload upper body?

I've been lifting hard, coupled with significant life stresses, for the past several months.

I got back into lifting around October. Shortly after, I hurt my shoulder, and just worked through it, and it's now healed to about 90%. A few months later, I strained a muscle in my back, which bothered me every now and then. Quite recently, I strained a pec, and trying to keep lifting arms heavy without doing any benching movements to let the pec recover, I went too heavy for close grip bench on the smith and gave myself some elbow tendonitis.

All these injuries are pretty minor - I can do every major lift at as high of weight as I can lift, with only occasional minor pain. But I'm sick of the nagging pain, worried they could turn into real injuries if I keep working around them, and want to let everything recover.

Lower body is fine. Can I just go ahead and hit low body 3-4 times/week for the next 1-2 weeks until all my tendons feel good again, and then get back at upper body? I was thinking like, quads+calves+abs / glutes + hams / rest / repeat.

tl;dr: Upper body is pretty beat up with a number of minor injuries. Feel like I need 1-2 weeks off. Lower body is fine. Cool to still hit legs while upper body recovers, or should I really just stay out?

26.9% body fat, visiting gym, doing workout but no RESULT , need help

this is my information in details : - Male - 29 years old - Height = 186 cm = 6.1 feet - current wieght = 93.5 kg = 206.1 lb - body fat estimated = 26.9 % ( it is too high...!!!! )

i am in the gym since 2 years and a half approximately, only what i can say i have found improvement when i started to lift after that throughout this 2 years i have not observed any improvement only STRENGTH, and i tried to much to lose body fat but i couldn't, i think my main problem is managing the diet ( and that due to long 10 hours work daily except friday ) and i said this point because i keep noticing unbalance arms ( the right arm is totally more strong than the left one ) eventhough i am righthanded but when i started going to gym i haven't experience this issue but lately since over than 6 months i am facing this problem.

i tried many workout from bodybuilding websites, but i haven't get into ( All pro, Fierce 5 ...etc ) , i have been reading and reading but nothing happened, i can't manage or plan a proper workout ( diet + exercise + monitoring ).

results are the things i am missing in the previous period , so i need something to stick on it to see the results.

as of know, i stopped going to the gym until i have a proper plan to lose fat ( cut ) then continue to build lean muscles.

i need someone to guide me through this journey, someone to help me build the diet ( or even set the meals ) and to show me a good workout program which i can follow to lose fat then build lean muscle.

initially i need to lose faaaaaaat ....

  • i can walk 10km (6.1 miles) (2 to 3) times weekly , i can do jogging 5km (3 miles) three to four times weekly
  • i can go to the gym 3 to 4 times weekly
  • initially i don't want to take any supplements ( protien shakes and so on ), i can take multivitimens and omega-3 capsules.

Acne scarring, bodybuilding and tattooing

I have significant acne scarring on my physique, particularly on my chest. It's so bad that I'm considering getting a giant chest piece tattoo to distract the eye from it.

I have a couple of questions for you guys:

  1. Does anyone else deal with bad acne scarring?
  2. Does anyone know of any bodybuilders or physique guys that have huge chestpieces that are aesthetically pleasing?
  3. Anyone else tattoo over scarring?

Thanks

Attached is me. You might need to zoom in to see the scars.
