I’ve got a BRUTAL upper body bodyweight workout for you today. This is one that you can do anytime, anywhere with absolutely ZERO equipment. Enjoy!

Move from one exercise to the next without rest. Rest ONLY where it says to rest.
Circuit #1:
-Pushups: 20 reps
-Iron Cross Squeeze*: 10 seconds
Do not rest and repeat 5 total rounds (100 pushups, 50 seconds of IC squeezes)

-Sit Throughs**: 20 seconds
-Bench or Chair Dips: 20 seconds

Twisting in your core, drive one leg through to the opposite side until you are seating on the floor with one arm on the ground and the opposite arm in the air. Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side. (image below)
