Upper Body workout: Lever Chest Press, Seated Cable Row and 4 more
An upper body day of 6 exercises and 18 working sets, built by a SPLYT user and published without their name. It takes about 40 minutes and uses machine and cable.
Most of the work goes to the biceps (3 sets), chest (3 sets), lats (3 sets). It opens with lever chest press and finishes with lever triceps extension.
No rest times were set, so rest about two minutes after heavy compound lifts and about a minute after isolation work.
