IRON Series 30 Min Complete Upper Body Workout | 17
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 04. 2022
- A complete upper body muscle building workout in 30 minutes! And this is far from rising through the reps… the slower the better. Rep ranges will be anywhere between 8-15 approximately per set depending on the weight you are using and also how you like to train.
Shoulders, back and chest are the muscle groups under load with the triceps also challenged throughout today!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 20kg, 2 x 10kg and 2 x 4kg.
Aside from dumbbells you will need your mat and for dips either a chair or dip bars!
Alternatively for the dips, you can change it up! Here are some alternatives for the dips if you prefer a different way of hitting those triceps!
TRICEP PUSH UPS
TRICEP PRESS
SKULLCRUSHERS
Absolutely change as you prefer! Simply select an exercise and perform that as YOUR staple every time you see me doing the my staple of dips on the bars!
The timer will be on primarily for 60 seconds, with always 30 seconds rest inbetween each set!
However the staple will be performed for only 30 seconds each time it pops up!

FINISHER!

AROUND THE WORLD!
This finisher is SLOW… but will become increasingly challenging to control particularly the eccentric phase, the lowering.
Please take your time, especially if new to this movement. NO JERKING or SHARP movement and the smoother the better.
Enjoy the feeling of your strength doing the work here… it’s going to be demanding!

20kg x 2 chest press!? Woman you are amazing 😍💃💪 I want to be super strong like you someday... Let's go!!!
Hi Renee...Yes I know...I was using 12.5 kg for chest press and found them hard! Caroline’s upper body strength is just so fantastic! Hope you have a brilliant workout today! Matthew
Hi @@matthewalmond8274 12.5kg x 2 would be my next goal! I tried 10kg x 2 for the first time for IRON day 12 and was already over the moon proud of it (I started with water bottles in EPIC III)
And now Caroline is upping her game again 😆 Love having super hard goals to work towards to. So proud of Caroline and so proud to be training & progressive overloading with Caroline and everyone here ❤️ Have a great day to you too!!
I always wonder what's the limit of Caroline's strenght. I guess she can bench her own bodyweight or even more (for 1 max bench press). In Belgium there's a TV game called the Container Cup where athletes of all kind of sports challenge in 7 disciplines. One of these is a max bench press. Few female athletes get over 40 kg.
@@maitreyisrinivasaraghavan8867 I like how you truly make the workouts your own by doing modifications! Pushups are amazing too!!
@@paulvv4914 Thought I have read about Caroline's personal best somewhere and found it!! Read the community post for EPIC III week 9. 25kg x 2 that is! But that post was written 5 months ago I wouldn't be too surprised if she can bench press her own bodyweight now 😎 She is really amazing and inspiring!
Wow!!!! Thank you Caroline & this entire community. ♥️ I have been doing these videos for years & got in the best shape of my life until I got shingles for my 31st bday. I gained so much weight & got really depressed. I finally am getting back to it, slowly but surely. Started this series in February… got off track, kept working out here & there but not this program… & back on. It’s now June. Just finished day 17 & it made me want to throw up! I am so much stronger than I realized! Down 14 lbs since February & lost 2 inches around my waist & bum & an inch off each arm & thigh! I am going to be even stronger than ever after this with what I’ve been through & with all of your help! 🙏🏽 Thank you for bringing me peace & health & helping me get my life back! Such an inspiration I am so grateful!
Caroline, I always look forward to starting my day by previewing your workout just to mentally prepare myself, there’s this excitement within!! And I eagerly wait to get home, end my day with your workouts after my classes. They just make me feel so energised, happy and powerful. I know I’ll love this one, enjoy everyone!!
Morning Devansh..I already love this session too you are so right..have fun😁
Have a great workout this evening, here in Canada it's released as I fall asleep and I wake up with such anticipation I know where you're coming from. Caroline is a great source of positivity, Consistency, dedication and we owe it to ourselves to try our best in these workouts each day. Such a blessing to train with you Devansh! 🙏🏾
I like to check in on CG too- my check in comes at the end of my day/ night 🌙 tho. I look forward to challenging myself with this session tomorrow. Enjoy all
Morning Devansh, yes sane for me! First thing in the morning is checking Caroline's posts and previewing them, always so exiting!!! Yesterday was so much fun and I can feel my hamis this morning 😅 Enjoy this new upper body session this afternoon as I will 👍💪💪 Elli
@@kylefreestyle Hi Kyle, yes I have the impression that I'm working with you all when I'm lifting my dumbells! Not only Caroline's workouts are such a pleasure and gift but also chatting with this great communiy! Enjoy your workout 💪💪 Elke
I know that we shouldn't compare but anyhow I find Caroline's workouts better than gym sessions. Thanks Caroline.
This is the first time I could do triceps dips with my legs straight!!! The whole workout! I am soooooo happy! It was impossible before!!!🎉❤🥰🥰💪💪💪
I really love Caroline’s upper body days! I made the mistake of previewing ahead, and now I’m too excited to sleep. Lol
Never thought I’d be saying that! Have a great workout everyone!
Hi Jessica, me too! I love all the upper body workouts Caroline provides us with, very effective, intense and varied! Same here I'm too excited to sleep as I really want to workout now but I know I need some sleep. Have a wonderful workout 💪
Hi Jessica...hope you manage to get some sleep! You are right to be excited! This is another superb workout...you’ll have fun...and you’ll feel so strong at the end! Have a lovely day! Matthew
Hi Jessica Marie! I can’t resist sending a reply. Because upper body is my fav, I previewed (it’s midnight here when Caroline posted it) and felt so excited that I almost did the workout before bed, as soon as preview was done 🤣 Have a lovely Tuesday and upper body day 👊🏼🙌🏼
😆 love this Jessica!! You’ll feel AMAZING having completed this and knowing tomorrow is glutes!!👊🏼🤩
The thing I loved about this one is that I was able to chest press much heavier weights than I thought I would. I underestimated how much strength I have gained by working with Caroline. Funny thing is it was the exercises with the lightest weights that I struggled with the most today. Thanks Caroline, that was awesome.
How do we access these amazing video of yours in order starting w/#1, 2, etc… ?
I absolutely love every single upper body workout Caroline does, for some reason they make me feel incredibly strong and powerful! Let’s smash this! 😍
Feeling really strong in the lower body after Mondays workout, can't wait to give the arms a sweet pump and flood my head with good vibes for the rest of the day... enjoy this one, Caroline makes the best training partner
Me too! 😍 Caroline makes us believe in ourselves and feel that you can accomplish anything you want in life. Enjoy your workout 😊
Yes...so true! At the end of this one you will really feel so strong as you say! And if you have the time and energy and you do the add on then you’ll feel even stronger at the end of that! I know you’ll smash the workout again...hope you have a great day ahead! Matthew
@@yasminealhalaby7118 Such true words, Yasmine! Very well said!
I love Caroline's videos so much. I love that she is totally ripped, but you still see her struggling and smiling toward the camera like "I know, this hurts!!" I love her positivity and realness, and her videos always give me such a good burn. I've been doing them for about 2 months, and I feel like I'm starting to see my muscles pop out for the first time! Thanks Caroline!!
I already know that as a staple I will have to vary. But I have learned that my weaknesses must be my goals and not my failures ♥ ️
I once read something so powerful.
" The results you seek are in the things you avoid "
Hi Alessia...I’m sure you don’t have any failures! You are smashing these workouts day after day...and that is such fantastic success! You are doing so brilliantly!
@@Gabby-oh2cj so true! 😍
@@matthewalmond8274 you are so kind 😊
My second round of the IRON SERIES; this session was brilliant! My upper body is on fire, particularly my triceps! Excellent staple! Thanks, Caroline!
Great workout, as always. I’m not sure I could ever lift again WITHOUT Caroline…she is such a blessing ❤
I've done this series three times through and I want to say this is likely the most thorough upper body workout in the series that is challenging, but also makes me feel like I was consistently hitting muscle groups effectively. Love this and it's going on my list of favorites 😀
I’m on round 2 actually. I agree with you. I appreciate as well that there are no EMOM or AMRAP 😅
04/04/2023 IRON#3 DAY 17 OK👊🏼🤩 ! I love shoulders and triceps workout ! Thank you Caroline for this fabulous program ! Happy day to you and congrats team !
Yesterday I did the first HIIT I've done in a month and I noticed that I had so much more energy! Usually I feel wiped out after HIIT, but yesterday I felt like I had a lot more fuel in the tank. I think it's the muscle that I gained from doing your Iron Program! It's made me noticeably stronger and leaner. I can't thank you enough for everything you do for us, Caroline! I hope you have a lovely day ❤
I actually feel the same! In the past weeks, I only sometimes did a 10 or 20 min hiit session because I felt this was a better length for me - I was a bit discouraged from 30(!)min hiit sessions, which often left me feeling completely exhausted for the entire day.
Now recently, I've completed a 30 min tabata hiit by Caroline and I felt strong!
And even better, I also did an emom hiit of another channel which I've never been able to complete in time before - but now, I managed to do it and felt great!!
It's amazing again and again how much stronger we get with these workouts!:))
What an incredible way to start my day at 4:30 in the morning! Loved this! Through the Iron Series I find myself getting stronger and stronger!
Hi Jayne...working out at 4.30 am shows fantastic dedication! Brilliantly well done....you should feel proud of yourself! Matthew
Previewing the workout at work and getting so excited. Yay for presses and rows and lying down on the floor working hard 😄 thank you Caroline for making working out a happy part of my day
Hi Minnette...yes lying down and working hard is so very true! Plus of course some standing up and working hard and lots of dips too! You are right to be excited! This is another superb workout! Have fun! Matthew
Beautiful workout! I was able to move up to 20lbs on the landmine and 15 lbs on the first three exercises, 12 for Arnold and 8 for the last 3. I'm so happy with my continued progress. I look forward to each workout and am grateful for my 66 yo body that continues to deliver as well as CG for all her epic contributions to athletes of every age, size, and ability worldwide!!!
I LOVE your workouts!! I have been lifting for a few years. I have done so many exercises in your programs these past few weeks that I’ve never done before ❤. You are changing my body 💪🏼
I absolutely loved hamstring workout yesterday with those many variations of RDLs!! Caroline always amazes me with her exceptional workouts!! Looking forward to train my upper body today.. I'm sure this is going to be a super rocking session with those dips as a staple!! Doing Caroline's workout is the most happening thing in my day to day life!! Love her so much!! Thank you so much Caroline for everything that you do for us!! Everything good I am in terms of fitness is all because of you!! Lots of love ❤ Have a great day Caroline and everyone!!
Hello Caroline, I did this workout this morning! Simple moves but BRUTAL 1 min / move format! Those 30 sec rests were so much needed! And the stapler move just killed me after each move!
Arms 🔥!!!
Thank you so much always Caroline!
Have a fantastic day!
My hammies are fried and am excited for upper body which is always my favourite!!! Let’s go fellow Girvanators🙌🏼👊🏼💪🏼 and thank you Caroline for addressing a question I never asked: there isn’t enough room in the bar of the dumbbell to place both hands comfortably whilst doing pullovers. You addressed it perfectly in the tip of this workout. 😘
Haha I am loving how challenging these are getting! 😄 💪🏾 Praying for your hamstring to recover first tomorrow 🙏🏾 ❤️
Caroline's tips increase the effectiveness of the workouts making us think further about our pose and format rather than going from one set to another without further thoughts. The add-on is a great way to end an upper body workout if you have time, enjoy your workout!
Hi Connie...yes very true...a really very useful comment from Caroline! Enjoy your upper body workout today...and I fear our glutes and hamstrings are in for more frying tomorrow! Have a lovely day! Matthew
Hi, Connie: So true about the short bar. I have small hands and yet cannot place them side by side comfortably. For some exercises, I will use a KB instead because the ergonomics just work better for me to avoid scrunched up hands!
“She’s done it again”, the way all the WOs compliment each other, is truly thought provoking, you are definitely in the right business, that was a burner of an Upper Body, working with those 4kg a lot harder than you would think!! Thanks again gorgeous lady! 🌹
😆 so true Geri!! The body doesn’t know what weight it’s using but it responds to the intensity for sure! I hope you doing great Geri and thrilled you are here joining me!👊🏼🤩
Hi Geri! Yes, it's amazing isn't it? I always worry for Caroline because she has to come up with new ideas, create new programmes...I'm always afraid of her imagination drying up(I'm exhausted on her behalf)🤣. I don't know how she does it! Have a day Geri!🙋♀️
@@isabelleweiler5603 Hi Isabelle, no need to worry about “our girl” her head is well screwed on, and she’s so informed, I have been following Caroline since Epic 1 September 2020, and she is so good at reinventing old exercises, that’s what keeps us interested, and even when she takes a break, I revisit some of her old videos, fabulous lady!!! Have a good day Isabelle!🌹
@@CarolineGirvan Hi Caroline, and believe me I am very happy to be joining you, thank you for all you do!🙏🌹
@@gerimulvany3443 I started following Caroline in June 2020, that's why I'm worried🤣. And I'm a worrier, I worry for everything and anything😥
Doing IRON for the second time. Love the 30 minutes workout as it is just enough for me to stay motivated. Can't believe the weight you lift as I usually do the same but in lbs. So if you use 10 kg. I use 10 lbs. I am 60 so I guess it will take me longer to build up my strength. Would love a video on how to work up to doing a proper push-up as I can't seem to master it, not sure if my core or triceps are what is the weakest :) Love your channel!!
I have followed you here on CZcams for more than a year, and this is by far the best upper body workout! Short, intense, and burning like hell!
Brilliant session today! Those triceps are feeling it today🔥 I use to hate doing dips, I'd be shaking after 4 reps, now thanks to Caroline I'm flying doing them! I really want to get the dip bars to step up a level😊 have a lovely day everyone ❤
Hi Catherine...I’m getting better at dips too...I actually quite enjoyed doing them today...but they were getting tough by the end! Hope you have a lovely day! Matthew
I’m really loving Iron. The longer sets and breaks have me focusing on upping my weights across the board for the first time in awhile! Thank you, Caroline!!!
What a beautiful routine. It is such a pleasure to feel my body working and to feel vitality improving with these workouts. My posture is improving and my life is better because of this. The future is full of possibilities. Thank you Caroline!!!
I love you carolibe girvan!!!! coz of your workouts I am getting so much better in my health , i love myself a lot now , i like how my strength is getting better , and all the more your work outs are so possible to adapt that none of paid trainers could do this so better than you... thankyouuu so much that i came across your channel... and for inspiring and influencing us
Day 17 of the Iron with the amazing Caroline. I just can’t get enough of this Iron. Thank you Caroline. You are awesome
I'm re-doing this series again and just love it, upper body workouts are my fav 😍
Caroline, I just want to say thanks for giving me a great way to start every morning. Working out is the first thing I do, and starting my day with something that makes me feel empowered and like I’ve accomplished something sets the tone for the rest of the day. 🥰
Hi Maggie...lovely comment! It’s great to hear how positive you are! I’m just the same...I love to work out first thing as it really sets me up for the day! Hope you have a lovely day! Matthew
Love love love the iron series!! Thank you Caroline for always giving of yourself!! No one I’d rather lift with!!
I'm really glad that with this serie I'm getting to use all the equipment I bought (accumulated and didn't use) during the years, such as the bars! Also these are the first workouts I love about upper body! Can't wait to continue this journey with you, Caroline!
THANK YOU for pairing exercises with identical weights in this one. Those of us with stackable dumbbells appreciate it, makes it so much easier.
Hi Caroline! I am absolutely loving the Iron series! Thank you so much for creating it ❤️ 💗 💖
Youre loving this Iron series too! Awesome!!! I love how challenging it's getting! You got this!!! She motivates us to do our best everyday! 🙏🏾 💪🏾
@@kylefreestyle thanks! Yes, she certainly does! 😊 hope you have a good workout!
This Iron series is very unique, creative, effective intense and available for everyone to change their lives. Enjoy your workout 😊
@@yasminealhalaby7118 very true 😊. hope you enjoy your workout too!
Hi Victoria...yes what a great series...and another fantastic workout to look forward to today! Have a great day ahead! Matthew
PS...just finished...and, yes...this was another fantastic workout! Hope you’ve had fun doing it!
Morning everyone! 😊 This is a complete upper body workout and here I thought we won't be doing any partials after Sunday's workout 😆 Caroline always brings up the unexpected 😍 Excited for the new exercise Lateral the Frontal arc, sounds like a real burner ❤️🔥I was surprised not seeing any pushups however the add on didn't let me down! I hope you all have a wonderful workout 💪
Hi Yasmine...you are so correct...this is a perfect complete upper body workout! I really enjoyed the range of exercises...even the dips! I love doing those lateral to front raises...they work such a wide range of muscles! And yes...so very true...if we were missing our push ups then the add on was just perfect! I loved it! Hope you enjoy the workout as much as I did and have a lovely day! Matthew
Hello Yasmine!! Yes shoulders post the back and chest… and the finisher will involve a lot of control and focus! Have a great session Yasmine!👊🏼🤩
Awesome upper body workout! I'm shocked at how much stronger I've gotten pushing myself with your workouts, especially the upper body. Thanks again Caroline!
Hi Caroline
Thanks for your workouts
I'm Moslem and I fast this month, after breakfast,I play your workouts and join with you and after that I feel really happy🎉🎉🎉
This is my second time participating in the iron challenge and that's...wait for it...awesome
Iron Series Round Two - definitely stronger - thank you Caroline - love all your amazing workouts.
29/11/2022 ROUND 2 DAY 17 DONE ! Thank you Caroline ! I love it and my shoulders and triceps are on fire !!! Happy day to you and all the team !
Hammies crying from yesterday, shoulders still sore from Sunday's blast.. today has been a tough one. Person victory, performed tricep dips on the chair for full 30s 🥳🥳🥳
I love upper body sessions! All the muscles worked in such intense choreography; it's just excellent. Thanks, Caroline!
Loved that, from NZ! Thanks Caroline! 3 years of training with you and I wouldn't be anywhere else xxx
Caroline, thank you for this series! Its perfect to do one of these workouts before my water aerobics class.
Absolutely perfect week this one will be. It's hard to believe we are halfway through!!! Upperbody burn everyone!! 🔥 It looks tough!! ❤️ You're awesome and I'm proud of all who can keep up with Caroline!!! You're incredibly strong!!!!
It is tough Kyle but so bloody good 😜😜 feel the heat from that upper body. You've got this💪💪
Morning Kyle...you are so fit and strong, Kyle, and I’m sure you’ll smash thus as you smash the workouts every single day! I’ve just finished with my mix of 12.5, 8 and 6 kg as those are the weights I have! Certainly challenging...especially the moves at the end with 6 kg! I loved the add on too...push ups and planks...hard but fun...just as we enjoy it! Have a great workout, Kyle, and a lovely day! Matthew
@@annereidy515 Morning Anne...yes you definitely feel the heat in the upper body! And in the add on too...I actually found that the add on was a pretty good cardio session too! Have a lovely day! Matthew
@@annereidy515 Anne!! It was soo good!! The dips is what I struggle with the most.i wish the staple was 5 seconds instead of 30!! 💪🏾 😝 See you in a few hours for Glutes 🍑 💥😁
@@matthewalmond8274 Honestly, you give me so much praise but it's You I find incredible, upping the weights in this workout was daunting because of how quickly my shoulder strength seems to fade. In addition to that hard workout you even managed the add-on! 🔥🔥🔥 Well done!! I'm glad we both really enjoyed this one! Get ready for a Glute workout to remember (my lower body is quivering at the thought of hip thrusts )💥 🍑
Today I got to increase weights on everything but the Arnold press! Hoping to get there soon! Thank you Caroline for another awesome workout!
Hi Caroline, hi everyone ! It is a solid upper body session, every muscle has been challenged today! I performed the dips on a chair, I loved this staple 💪🏼the finisher is slow but it comes after the lateral raises… so it is a killer! Thank you very much Caroline ! ❤️
Thank-you Caroline for these amazing workouts, life changing
Caroline…thank you for giving us the iron series. I look forward to working out with you every time! Keep the videos coming!
Day 17 done! Today I used 10, 8 and 5 lbs dumbbells
Feb 7 2023. Day 17 done. Today I used 15, 8 and 5 lbs dumbbells ❤
Your upper body workouts are my favorite. That was awesome!! Thanks Caroline
Managed to get the dips done every time, thanks Caroline I couldn’t have done this a few months ago 😄
Caroline: I'm 60. Iron has forced me to get back on the horse after figuring out how to work this great program around my daily schedule. I have to say that since doing this, it has made more determined to see this program through with no excuses! More importantly it gives me the determination I need to make it through the day and when it gets tough, you're always there with your radiant smile!
I may even do a second round. Thanks for your inspiration.
What an inspiring message! Thank you! :)
@@antonellag9771 Thank You!
This workout will be rather tough for me since it's upper body. I will do the very best I can with the weights that I have. Even though the workouts are 30 minutes you pack a lot in to 30 minutes, Caroline. The way you choreograph the workouts has a lot to do with it. You're the best and thank you as always for providing challenging workouts.
Hi Elaine...great comment as your comments always are! You are so correct that it is the way that Caroline arranges her workouts that makes them so challenging yet fun to do at the same time! I just love them. I find upper body days the hardest too...but I'm improving all the time and that is all due to Caroline!! Hope you have a lovely day! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 good to hear from you Matthew. I would like to be able to increase my weights especially for the chest press and pullovers. Things have been so hectic here with just putting the house up for sale dealing with all the issues around that I haven't been able to go out and check out any weights. But I definitely do think that I could use some heavier weights for certain workouts. I will be doing the workout in about a half an hour or so. Have a great day!
@@elainebeasley3070 Hi Elaine ...I guess you are working out as I write this...so hope it is all going well and that you are enjoying it! Yes...I could probably manage some heavier weights...but the trouble is that it clutters up our living room a bit! I don’t have any dedicated gym space! Moving house can be so stressful...I hope it’s all going well for you! Matthew
I love upper body and will no doubt enjoy this one ! Thank you!!
Day 17 completed! Even the cool down was trying on my arms! I needed to feel the burn 🔥 I nearly gave up doing anything today cos my bed was cozy and warm, but NO! Caroline was waiting for me, so needs must! I used 15, 10, 8 and 3kg for today's workout. Still working on being able to lift my whole body weight, I'm getting there. Roll on Day 18! 💪🏾 ❤️
Always inspires me to compare others weights to mine, thanks for the push to improve! So proud of you keep it up!🎉❤
I totally enjoy my morning workouts with your routine and you push me every day thank you Caroline
Round the world is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Thank you Caroline 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Amazing workout 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for the workouts Caroline ! You are amazing.
I did two of each staple variation and then an extra set of my least favorite for the last one (tricep push up duh). I love working chest! It’s been my experience that a lot of women rarely work chest but it’s such an important foundation for everything else. I LOVE this series and the opportunity to lift heavier! I’ve been jumping rope during the intro this series and sometimes I’ll stop throughout and get a minute or two of jump rope in. It really torches the calories and I’ve seen a change in my endurance and overall fitness. Just thought I’d share!
Fabulous idea with the jump rope during the intro. I’m so going to do this, thanks!
I love that there’s a staple in this workout! Looking forward to doing this. It looks challenging and targets all upper body muscles. This week, the weights are heavier. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍👍👍
Me too, the staple is challenging but fun! The add-on is also a great way to finish an upper body workout if you have time. Enjoy your workout 😉
They sure are Peach. No way can I lift 20kg over my head. Managing just about with 12.5kg. fair play to Caroline she makes it look effortless 🥵🥵 super format on this. Changed between triceps press and dips alternatively. Loved the finisher. Arms were dead weight by then. Add on done too. That was so tough after main sess. A million press ups but got it done!!. Well done today.
Hi Peach...you’ll love the staple...but by the end of the workout you may not be loving it quite so much!! As you so rightly say this is a challenging workout that targets so many muscle groups! You’ll feel so strong and accomplished at the end! Hope you have a lovely day! Matthew
Day 17 every day is getting better thank you
Day 17 Smashed!! Great Upperbody workout! Chest, Back, Shoulders and Arms worked hard. Loved the Staple. Triceps are fried. Amazing feeling after! 🤩
Thanks Caroline! ❤️
Have a lovely Tuesday!
Morning Trish...wasn’t that staple a tough one! As you say...Fried triceps by the end! So pleased you’ve had another great workout...you smash these workouts every single day! You are a great inspiration to us all with your consistency! Have a lovely day! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Aww... Thanks Matthew. I'm enjoying the workouts and how it makes me feel after. No add-on today as I'm off for coffee with a friend. Have a great day! 😊
@@trishd.7346 Hi Trish...hope you have a lovely time with your friend!
This is so fun! I'm screaming but i really enjoy it. Thanks CG!🖤
Amazing workout as usual!!!! Thank you so much for the content Caroline. Much love :)
Proud of myself! Today, I used 35lbs, 15lbs, and 8lbs for this workout! I did triceps pushups for the staple and did lat pulldowns on the machine I have instead of pullovers. What a workout!! I keep coming back to this one - it's one of my absolute favorites!
I loved the Lateral to Frontal Arcs! Great workout as always!
I don’t know how she is able to chest press/bench press 44lbs! Well actually I do know how: with hard work and perseverance. I was struggling with my 35 lbs. But it was a step up from the 33lbs I had been using before, so I’ve improved *slightly* even though I could barely get them up in the last few seconds of the timer 🥵 I was able to do everything else with 45lbs (when Caroline used her 20 kg that is!). And I was surprised I was able to do the dips really well…of course I was doing dips on the chair and not dip bars. Those dip bars look extremely tough! Great workout and now on to the 15 minute arms add-on. I took a long rest to write this so hopefully my arms are rested enough to complete it!
I loved this one! I love building my upper body!
Oh... We ALL ROCK HERE!!🙏💯💕 THX COACH CAROLINE 💞
Thanks for the super demanding upper body workout. Great also the equipment change through the workout. 👍🏻💙 See you again tomorrow 👋🏻
Loved today! I've enjoyed this series so far! Even if I hate it while I'm doing it.😅 love you, Caroline. Thank you!
For this workout, I had all my DBs out for upper body scattered on the floor. 30s to 5s. Even my humble 5s got to ‘play’ today (for those lateral to frontal arcs, and then had to get them for half way through the Around the Worlds). I really enjoyed those arcs and worlds moving super slow to get the most out of the 5s. Decided to do tricep presses instead of dips. I really like that 15 minute add-on with the alternating pushups and planks, reminded me a lot of a power yoga class. Those skullcrusher pushups used to be impossible at one time. I can do them now but with a slightly different hand position than Caroline which works better for me. Great training today!
Completed day 17. Awesome workout! Thank you so much!
I love upper body workouts! And in iron series I try to lift heavier than before, I don’t know why but in this series somehow it became possible to add weights progressively and it feels amazing! Thank you Caroline for making this transition possible❤️
Hi Kathleen...well done! You are clearly getting so strong and you should feel really proud! Well done!
I did the triceps press with no stopping and altering of form🎉🎉🎉 I am doing Iron for the fourth time and I have greatly improved. Thank you Caroline ❤
Love love love this workout Caroline!!!
Maybe with Caroline will be even better! ;)
This was action packed and the time flew so quickly! Those rest periods definitely felt shorter near the end. My triceps are on fire now 🔥🔥 Thanks Caroline!!! Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Morning Sharon...so true! Definitely a fiery one for the triceps...that staple just gets harder and harder! I did the add on too ...and now my upper body really does feel so well worked! Hope you have a lovely day today! Matthew
One of my favourites, i keep coming to this one
Great session, as usual.
The return of the staple is much appreciated.
A great start to the day after getting the internship of my dreams.
Have a great day everyone! See you all tomorrow!
Wow Elisa! Congratulations Elisa!! I hope it is a wonderful opportunity for you! Cx
Hi Elisa...so happy to hear about your internship! Hope you have a really brilliant time! As Caroline says what a great opportunity! Matthew
Hi Caroline and Matthew,
Thank you very much! It means a lot to me!
It's a great opportunity to discover my favourite subject in my studies (I'm a law student).
Thank you again, it makes me very happy!
Time flew 😁! Great workout thanks!!!🥰✨🪄
I really enjoy this workout. You're very good .
1st Arnold press of the workout popped my one shoulder that was feeling tight for the last day and a half and now it feels much better. I'm loving this series. And I'm feeling good.
Personally found this one of the hardest ones I've done for a while...those lateral to frontal arc 😱,, , tagged on the abs crunch as my upper body was done. Thank you 💕
I agree Jenny! The fact there is a staple reoccurring really does becoming increasingly challenging! And yes those wide range arcs were very difficult to perform with the height parallel to floor and that slower pace!
Well done Jenny!! 👊🏼🤩
Well done Jenny. It was a toughie alright. I think we will be sore across the shoulders tomorrow 🙄 I was going to go 5 kg as my light weight but arms wouldn't work so dropped to 4 and could just about manage!! Was a great one though. Went on to do add on too. All push ups of every sort and planks ..that finished me 🥵🥵
@@annereidy515 well done to you for the add on..,couldn’t face that today 😊
Wow - this workout really boosts my arms! They look immediately stronger after these exercises. 😅 even with my 15/10/5 KGs. And again, I prefer your workouts because of your high security level, the very good explanation of how to do the moves, your relaxed power style, the brutal weight levels (20KG you don‘t find in male muscle machine videos 😉) and the perfect composition of the workouts and workout plans! Thank You!❤
This workout is one of my favourites so far! 💕thank you Caroline.❤
Another one which flew by quickly. Really enjoying using my stepper as bench for chest press. That extra few inch range intensifies it even more. Love an all round upper body. Decided to do skull crushers as my staple because dips feel uncomfortable for me, feel it more in my front delts. Was happy with my performance in those now that I've mastered them. Thank you ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
just what I needed!! thanks Caroline!!
This looks like a very intense upper body session! I’m sure those dips as staple are going to be very challenging by the end...and Round the Worlds as finisher...that’s always a tough one too...works many different muscles! Our upper bodies will work hard...but at least our glutes and hamstrings are getting a rest before more hip thrusts tomorrow! Have fun everyone! Matthew
Hey Matthew these upperbody exercises are so welcomed after I totally unhinged every hamstring in both legs JK feeling like Popeye recently and thats all thanks to Caroline!! ❤️ Shoulders will be surely lit after this finisher!!!😄
Morning, the staple is absolutely fantastic ensuring we feel the burn ❤️🔥 might switch up to the alternatives depending on how I feel. Around the world as a finisher is very challenging but I'm sure we will smash it! I'm really excited for the add-on too, I really love the pushups and core combination 😍 have a wonderful workout 💪
Hi Matthew i find round the worlds tough and now we have it as the finisher I’m gonna do my best. Yes to resting our lower bodies in preparation for glutes tomorrow 😀 have a great workout!
Morning Mattew, today this session looks hard and very challenging but I''m sure you'll smash it! So have a great workout and a lovely day afterwards!
I couldn't have said it better 😊
So nice to be back! After a bout with COVID at the end of March I needed to get my energy up and catch up! LOVE the Iron Series, Caroline has done it again. These workouts are amazing. We are a strong bunch💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. Caroline is lifting 20kg and 30kg weights and we are lifting heavy and focusing on form. Used 2x11kg, 15lbs and 10lbs and combined today’s upper-body with Sunday’s shoulder workout and it was🔥🔥in a great way. Loving this series and good to be back!
Well done Deborah...great weights and you’ve had a great workout! Doing this and shoulders day together is really impressive! It’s so great to have you back with us all! Matthew
Bääääähm! Was für ein tolles Workout! Thank you again.😅❤
Another great workout.Thank you.
This looks intense - especially with the Tricep staple & range of weights you’re going to use, I’ve a feeling this will exhaust my arms!!! Yessssss!!! Let’s do this! 😎☕️🔥
Morning Tony...yes it certainly exhausted my upper body...though I just had a bit left for the add on...and after that my upper body really was exhausted! Have a great day! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 This sure was upper body exhaustion, I’d pushed through on 8s for shoulders until the final set when I had nothing left & dropped to 4s. Cycling to work was difficult but I managed! See you tomorrow Matthew ! 💥 ☕️
@@tonym7702 Hi Tony...8 kg is impressive! I was using 6 kg at the end and it was hard! See you in the morning...hope you have your glute band ready! Matthew
Mrs Caroline , I love the consistency this series gives me ! I love how you always change it up and I don’t have to worry or think about what to do . I just have to follow your lead . I’ve even waved back at you a couple of times at the end of the work out ! Thank you !! Loving the iron series , I’m thinking about starting it over after the 6 weeks is up .
Loved this! I am just getting back to the series after two weeks off because I hurt my back. This is the best part of my day! Being unable to workout with you was torture! Thank you, CG!
Really looking forward to this one after work! I think for my staple I'll alternate between dips and tricep press! Do love a tricep press!
Yesterday's session was brilliant I enjoyed every second! Definitely added it to my favourites! The 5 minute add on was great just to finish those legs off! Was amazing to see how it all started too as haven't revisited any of the older workouts for a long time! Great to see how far you have come Caroline! Listening to you say tippy toes has to be my favorite saying from you 😊Have a great upper body session everyone!
Morning Dani...hope you have a good day at work and a fantastic workout afterwards! I so much loved yesterday’s 5 minute add on too! I find Caroline’s early videos so nostalgic...and like you I just loved that tippy toes comment so much! Hope you have a lovely day! Matthew
Been doing your workouts for over a year and I have to say this was one of my favorites. Loved the pace and variation.
I loved this workout. The weights get lighter as you go, but not any easier...classic CG. I especially liked the permission she gave to pick your own tricep variation staple, but her firm guidance to stick with the one you pick for the whole workout. I picked tricep pushups and worried I'd be regretting it after the first set, but then surprised myself by being able to concentrate and complete the full "only 30 seconds" each time. I got into a zone for sure. She knew. :)
