It is true that heavy weights can build muscle, but it is often difficult to attempt an isolated joint motion when we are using a lot of load. In this workout, this is exactly what we are trying to do! As we move back and forth from upper body to lower body exercises, single joint motion is the goal.
Although there is never any true isolation in exercise, it is recommended to use at least two sizes of dumbbells to be able to focus on the joint action at hand with stabilization from nearby joints. We will be moving slowly and using a ton of control in this workout. Enjoy the cues and modifications as we move through each set of the 15 chosen full body exercises.
