Workout Routine for the Upper Body
100-pound dumbbells are like Jimmy Hoffa's final resting place - hard to find.
In fact, dumbbells above 80 pounds are practically non-existent in gyms in Toronto. And in the one place near me that had them, they soon got rid of them because no one used them.
So when I saw a set of 100-pounders at the YMCA in Stratford, I was quick to work them into my upper body workout.
1A) DB press (100x4x8)
1B) Y's, T's, and Reardelt raises (3x10)
2A) Incline DB presses (2x6)
2B) Snatch grip BB Row (3x10)
3A) Pushups (2xMax)
3B) Face Pull (2x10)
Good workout. Not great, but good.

Hi Craig,
How heavy to you go on the Y's and T's?
BP
1 pound. That's it.
The T's are much easier than the Y's...
But no weight should be added until the client or yourself can feel the right muscles being worked.
It's easy to do the movement using the deltoids...but that's not hte muscle group you are after.
With the Y's, you want the mid-traps to do the work, and with the T's, you want the rhomboids to do the work.
