The upper body workout plan is designed for those who are looking to increase the strength of their upper body. The goal is not to gain mass; however, you will definitely see an increase in size. If you are wanting to simply gain mass then it would be best to check out another one of the workout plans ("bodybuilding", "extreme mass") on the site. Now back to the upper body workout plan for those of you who mean business and are eager to start increasing your strength.

The plan is broken up into three days so that you can still use the rest of the week to work out your lower body (don’t ignore your lower half otherwise you are setting yourself up for injury). If you are wanting to go four days then I would recommend repeating workout #2 to specifically target your shoulders and back more than once a week. The reps are set at eight, since we are really targeting our strength we don’t want to start pumping out high rep amounts. It should be extremely hard to get eight reps and not a single one more. The sets for this upper body routine are only two for each exercise, this will help you load up the weight and put all your energy into maximizing these two sets.

Most of the exercises in this upper body workout plan are compound movements with the capability of a lot of weight (i.e. bench press vs. flys). In order to gain strength you must move heavy weights and compound exercises are the very best way to do so. Get focused, get pumped, and throw some weight around if you’re serious about gaining some serious upper body strength. Start following the upper body workout plan right now!
