Before You Begin
Following a 1-minute warmup, this workout is is made up of 8 one-minute rounds of back and bicep exercises with dumbbells. The exercises are performed unilaterally (on one side) while the other side is holding an isometric position. The purpose of this workout is to build muscular strength and endurance in your back and biceps, your “pull” muscles. I used 8 lb (3.6 kg) weights.
