TANGIBLE Triceps and Delts Workout / Strength | EPIC Heat – Day 16

Tangible Triceps & Delt Workout is Day 16 in Caroline Girvan‘s EPIC Heat workout program. What a great upper body workout! This is all shoulders and triceps and Caroline hits them hard. I cannot imagine using 17.6 pound dumbbells for every single weighted exercise in this workout but that is what Caroline did. She is a beast! I used 8-15 pound dumbbells and that made my shoulders and triceps burn. I hit muscle failure several times. This workout is definitely heavier on the shoulders than the triceps but the triceps still get plenty of work. During the intro Caroline stresses that she wants you to focus on the eccentric portion of the shoulder moves (the lowering portion) and to lower slowly.

The exercises in this workout are done interval style: 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery. There is a timer in the upper left hand side of the screen, counting down your intervals and recoveries. During the recoveries Caroline previews the next exercise. There is also a little bar at the bottom of the screen that counts down the entire workout time as a percentage.

I used a 5 Minute Upper Body Warm Up from MrandMrsMuscle and I also added on a 5 Minute Upper Body Stretch from BurpeeGirl.
