SUPERSET Full Body Workout with Dumbbells | EPIC Endgame Day 49

Superset Full Body Workout with Dumbbells is Day 49 in Caroline Girvan‘s EPIC Endgame program. I honestly do not know why I jumped so far forward in Caroline’s Endgame program. I map out my workout rotations on blank calendar pages and I do not remember scheduling this one out of sequence but there it was on my calendar. I am not doing Day 50 until June! I just decided to go with it. This is a total body week anyway (all of my strength workouts this week are full body workouts). And I am so glad I did! What an excellent workout! This is a superset workout. In each superset, the first exercise is done for 60 seconds and the second exercise is done for 30 seconds (90 seconds of work). Then you get a 30 second rest/recovery. This is also a no repeats workout. So tons of variety. This workout was intense, too–it got very metabolic for me. Though this is a total body strength workout, Caroline gives a lot of focus to the posterior chain. For upper body, the back and shoulders got all of the isolation exercises, but those pullovers at the end! 100 reps! That worked everything in the upper body. What an amazing and challenging workout!

Superset Full Body Workout with Dumbbells is 50:46 minutes; 2:15 minute intro, no warm up and 3:20 minute stretch. Equipment: dumbbells, a yoga block and fitness mat. Caroline is using 10kg/22 pounds dumbbells. The weights listed below are what I used. During the recoveries Caroline previews the next superset.
