TL;DR

One horizontal press, one row, one vertical pull, then shoulders and arms. About 45–60 minutes. Open it when you only have one upper day this week.

Key takeaways

  • Balance a press with a pull.
  • This can stand in for Upper A on the 4-day split.

Busy week version

If you will miss lower body, do not skip legs two weeks in a row. Pair this with the lower body workout or a goblet squat finisher.

FAQ

Upper body workout vs push day?

Push day skips rows and pulldowns. This session trains the whole upper body in one visit.
