If you saw my Hot Bikini workout series last week, you probably thought I had forgotten about the guys… but I didn’t! Summer means more opportunities to go shirtless for the guys, and this week I have 5 workouts that will help you get your upper body in shape to take that shirt off.

Like last week’s workouts, these will be Tabata style so you can either add it on to your existing workout program, or use it to get you started on a regular workout routine. So grab your Gymboss interval timers and set them to 8 rounds of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest. You’ll go through the list of exercises twice for a 4 minute workout.

For this workout you’ll need a set of dumbbells. My favorite are the PowerBlock dumbells because it’s quick and easy to adjust the weight. Be sure to use the heaviest weight you can for each exercise since the work intervals are so short, you want to be sure to get maximum results. By the end of each work interval you should really be feeling the exercise.
