4 Minute Home Upper Body Workout -- This Workout Gets You A RIPPED Upper Body

[LTzmogas]

does this workout builds chest?

[SirPayen]

I have been doing this workout ever since December. I used 15 lb dumbbells. The first week I did 4 sets, second week I did 5 sets, third week I did 6 sets, 4th week through 8th week I did 7 sets. I can do the whole thing pretty easily now, so I recently switched to another six pack shortcuts workout. For those of you that are skeptical, it works extremely well. You lose fat and at the same time gain muscle, especially on you shoulders and trapaz. I will go back to this in a few months with 20lb.

[ShortMexicanBoySwag]

This Helps Your Abs A Little Rght ?

[ForgottenToilet]

Do these workouts have the after-burn effect?

[phil4723]

@ForgottenToilet i suppose yes because you are working multiple muscle groups at once and you rest only 60 seconds between the sets,so this propably works very good...hope this helped!

[gito77haha]

Just an estimation/quick question...

How long do you guys think it'll take to see results? (If you do it exactly right)



[LTzmogas]

@gito77haha 3months~

[sejadlol]

I am 15 years old nd I am looking to get a good body is this harmfull for my body and ow do I avoid getting stretch marks on my arms?

[neoneicee]

@sejadlol no, this isn't harmful for your body, you are at a good age to start working out. there are 2 types of stretch marks, the red ones, and the white ones. The red ones are from the fats that you eat and are not burned. the white ones are from over muscle increase, but don't worry about the white ones, it means you growing muscle.

[TheEri109]

hello: I am a guy 14 years old and want to begin with exercises at home to create a perfect body . A Could you tell me some exercise or diet that can start as a beginner.

[porge97]

your workouts are the best :)

[MOCOFFEEPLEASE]

Awesome work-out.........

[Jaffa374]

This guy is the guy that's finally got me working out, been putting it off for so long. So 1st of all thank you Mike! Shall be signing up to your full works very soon. Can just about pull this off, but the side laterals, Can't even get 1! half way thats it. Maybe expecting a little too much this early. Just wanted to say thanks Mike and keep the vids comin!

[dom99661]

what is the name of that song?

[Jaffa374]

@dom99661 breaking benjamin, song is i will not bow

[pgandus]

hey mike i did 8 sets 6x a week with only one 15 lbs dumbbell i just alternate it on other side..i wonder if its ok..

[tpeezyist]

how many days of the week du u suppose tu workout 3 r 5

[10505100]

the song name is

"i will not bow:

by breaking benjamin"

[Mikerockgod3]

great workout! can you show the ones without dumbbells please?

[WhackyJonathan13]

Hi can someone tell me how much 25lb's is please in kg.... i think it must be an american thing!

[Mikerockgod3]

@WhackyJonathan13 its about 11.33 kg

[mfriedrich2012]

@WhackyJonathan13 Multiply your kg by 2.2 and you'll have your wt in lbs. 25 lbs is about 11 kg.

[Alfish83]

Is it 8 sets of the video or 8reps of each exercise?

[MrLearnDude]

@Alfish83 Each exercise is a set. There's 8 exercises, the reps depend on the individual.

My magic number is 10 or 15 depending on the set.

[Alfish83]

@MrLearnDude Cheers

[the1sic]

@Alfish83 both

[antzz1077]

@the1sic no retard, 8 sets of each exercise only..hence why its a 4 minute workout

[southwestsoldier08]

@Alfish83 sets

[DeadRising95]

Do any of these exercises work your chest? Do wondering

[baddam95]

Yes, i finally did 8 sets, for the passed week i've been doing 6 1/2 to 7. I just hope i can keep doing 8 for the next 5 weeks :)

[Chriskabalan]

worked out 4 me thx man

[jok3rinthepack]

Is it ok to do this using a curl bar rather than dumbbells?

[1995SAS]

:O You used Breaking benjamin!! Wow i get sidetracked easily! -_-

[RustingVagina]

I can only do this workout all 8 times with 6.5kg weights... I tried going up to 8kg weights but I couldn't even do a set single set of 8 side laterals... I feel like everything else is ready to go up to 8kg but I can't because I find the side laterals way to hard with 8kg. If I keep doing the workout with 6.5kg weights, will I eventually be able to do it with 8kg weights? And yes, you are all probably thinking I am weak but at least I'm honest.

[TrainingAllDay]

@RustingVagina i just go down to a lower weight at the side laterals. -_- whats with ur name

[milontua]

Finished all 8 sets with 25 dumbells. 

[PeQiT]

If I gt only one dumbell, can I do this set for one hand and then repeat with other?

[SubjectZ3RO]

is 4 or 5 sets good of Week 1?

[tamaremnxapius]

@SubjectZ3RO What you have to do, is to train with less weight, try for example 15 lbs., but do the 8 sets.

[TheNatethompson1]

Amazing workout. I feel the burn after the first set. Thanks man!

[mfriedrich2012]

I can only get to 4 sets and I'm destroyed. Obviously have long way to go. The dumbell side laterals are what do me in the fastest. Great workout man. Thanks for uploading.

[Morganator1996]

@mfriedrich2012 Even he struggles with them. They are hard. (In case you didn't know...)

[tamaremnxapius]

@mfriedrich2012 Try with less weight, you can't start training with so much weight, I started with 15 lbs. and 8 sets, now I've been doing this for 3 weeks and I do 10 sets.

[HeshedKaleidoscope]

One word: lol -_-

[pronitron20600]

Hey Mike. It says 'do a total of 8 sets' at the start of the video? Did you actually mean do a total of 8 reps per exercise or literally do a total of 8 sets of the whole video?

[xxdayummxy]

HOW MANY CYCLES DO YOU DO??

[TheMathieu8]

@xxdayummxy at the start, it says "Do a total of 8sets"

[phyllisjohnson20]

@xxdayummxy

[ilovechewy123]

is it ok to do this with 5 pound dumbbells, 5 times? (i tried my best to work with what's available)

[dudebob4245]

for the bent over rows do you bend your knees or what ?



[ilovechewy123]

@dudebob4245 yep. you bend you knees outward and fall between them.

[smookingjack123]

Lay off the roids homie

[gtafan912]

breaking benjamin!!

[elzah1234]

how often do you need to do this to get results? I go to the gym a couple times a week an I'm jus bored with it now I would rather do 4 minutes like this. how often do you guys do it

[mexichunt]

I'm a girl. I'm going to do just 5-10lbs. Perky chest here I come! Thanks

[mexichunt]

You are hot! I'm going to try this. Xoxo

[ZGzoids]

You are the Man!

You inspire me to do more ripped workouts than my boring old workouts.

[YoungC20111]

Thanks.......NOW IM RIPPED..........AHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHH!!!!!!!! FEEL THE BURN...AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!­!!!!..............Ok I need to stop the roids......lol...just playin....seriously though I'm Buff as shit right now because of this.

[TheSalihsalloum]

@YoungC20111 Only you fatty

[imperiakid]

this is an intense workout for real. good work man

[bobsparob]

I was going to call bull shit on this video but I work out for 2 hours normally and I'm in decent shape do what he is telling you it will work

[xIRzxMeRk]

I can only do 4 sets and my arms are wrecked

[PhoenixStarrah88]

I apologize in advance but this is gonna sound like a dumb question but I gotta ask for your expertise. So I am a total shrimp I weigh only 115lbs obviously I can't do 25lbs dumbbells. What weight do I start with? Again sorry for the noob question but much appreciated if given an answer. Thanks.

[NesquiickProductions]

@PhoenixStarrah88 Yeah im the same, I just do 10lb dumbbells.

[PhoenixStarrah88]

@NesquiickProductions are 10lbs just nice for our weight? Like it's not too light or too heavy? Btw thanks for sharing bro!

[NesquiickProductions]

@PhoenixStarrah88 I think 10lb is fine, but I have currently been doing it for about close to 4 weeks now and im pretty sure I can now do 15lb weights no problem, I can just see the improvement.

[mfriedrich2012]

So this is actually 30 minute workout. 8 SETs x 8 reps x 10 exercises + 60 minutes between each set. The "4 minutes" description doesn't make sense. Great workout, though. Holy crap this not resting business is leaving me destroyed.

[Proteincow]

You are welcome to post a vid response with any of my videos! You would provide TONS of value to those following... ;o)

[Proteincow]

Thanks for posting my Bodyclay Sculpting Video!! Feel free to post on my wall at anytime! ;o)

[jaowseph]

so your supposed to do this 4 minute workout 8 times in a row?

[wordsplay]

I'm doing this for the next 3 months, gotta lose this upper body fat I've put on over the winter.. lol we'll see how it goes

[liltj773]

5 reps for each only 10 times

[snookiepookie]

it says at 0:04 how many sets

[likeasambooooooooody]

how many time should you repeat this ?? only once or is twice is ok?

[vernalwarrior23]

@likeasambooooooooody i usually do 3-4 on a fair weight that works best im pretty sure.

[Zhulufuse]

how many reps on each exercise?

[InsaneImmortalApe]

Im fifteen and i do this workout, is it harmful?

[TrainingAllDay]

@InsaneImmortalApe i dont think it matters what age you are. it mainly depends on what weight you use and if you are doing the excercise correctly

[SpaghettiMonster89]

Do you only need to perform this four minute routine once every Monday, Wednesday and Friday? So 12 minutes total a week?

[Tomsapanda0]

@TheMadmacks use bigger weights

[TNT423AWZ]

NICE music, that just made the vid that much better :)

[TheMadmacks]

how many sets? or is this only 1 set? coz when i tried it. it doesn't even hurt.

[TheMadmacks]

@TheMadmacks @SIXPACKSHORTCUTS !!!! please reply!!!!

[thangho2]

song?

[ProphetofGod]

These video's are SO misleading lol, i've been bodybuilding for almost 5 years now. You do NOT get ripped from how you work out, you get ripped from how you eat and your diet.

This dude puts all kinds of shit on his videos to get more clicks and money from youtube.

[Bocktown66]

Breaking BENJAMIIIN ♥

[kosova973]

i just ask you to use Proteins is Good or badd

some peopel say when you get older you body will be badd ... ?

sry for the english :(

[itrollhaaard]

dude you are amazing, i have a question tho..

im 16, just about 210lb.

i work out in high school, but im not getting "toned" and i don't wanna buy stuff from gnc,etc. is there a faster way i could lose weight and get toned ?

[DaysOffWork]

@itrollhaaard there is no "fast" way to do anything in life. Do your research about what type of body you want and apply it in your workouts. Minimal rest between sets, cardio and eat healthy.

[michelin822]

@sixpackshortcuts

could you do home workouts because i do not own dumbells

[96Tomsta]

my problem with doing the "Dumbell side laterals" is i hit the cieling! :L

[zebb1111]

@96Tomsta sit down and do em.

[PissinAnts]

how long would it take to get really built doing your 4 minute workout??

[Riotboyful]

how many reps in each set

[heyblackduck]

Haha, I just started this a couple days ago and now I can't sleep because of the huge energy boost from my metabolism

[brenard23455]

note this is actually a 40 min workout it says 8 reps and 1 minute i between 4x8=32 and 1x8=8 32+8=40.

[AOSBOSS]

PLEEEEEAASE ANSWER!!!!... does any of this work the tricep very well? because doing dips feels like im working my triceps differently than these workouts... thank you.

[TrainingAllDay]

@AOSBOSS i dont think they work the triceps very much, maybe a little but not enough. i usually do skull crushers after the dead lifts

[AOSBOSS]

@TrainingAllDay how would one go about doing a skull crunch? thanks very much

[AOSBOSS]

@TrainingAllDay great thanks!!!

[akat19]

@AOSBOSS yea the rows do that

[sixpackshortcuts]

@AOSBOSS Dips are great for triceps. As you et stronger lean forward as you do them.

[AOSBOSS]

@sixpackshortcuts thanks, im trying skull crushers right now... also, i was wondering if this workout is somthing that i can do as my ONLY upperbody workout, (i also do abs and legs.). in other words are there any other workouts that i should be doing for upper body?... thanks again!

[MrJasonescoto]

@sixpackshortcuts actually this is wrong if you do dips and lean forward it works your chest out..

[PissinAnts]

@MrJasonescoto its meant to.. in the description, its says about working your abs out n everything :)

[MrJasonescoto]

@PissinAnts i know that but the guy was asking for tricep workout not chest..

[PissinAnts]

@MrJasonescoto ahhh right. my mistake lol

[MrJasonescoto]

@PissinAnts its cool lol

[xboxfosho]

@AOSBOSS rows slightly work your triceps but its primarily lower back, the pushups also stretch them out but none of these are primary tricep workouts. youtube skull crushers, i think thats the tricep workout your looking for

[AOSBOSS]

@xboxfosho helped alot thaks!

[LordPBA]

...but, how many times I've to do this sequence of excercises? Thanks

[AlotLikeMiguel]

Im 15 and wanna start working out so sometimes i do workout and whenever im done i feel the burn and then the next day i dont feel anything did i do a good workout? Please help out. Thx

[iLazerBolt]

@AlotLikeMiguel you need to up the weight. you should feel sore the next day. either more reps or more weight. good luck.

[never1234567891]

will this burn fat through after burn?

[Godzenvy24]

Can you do this workout twice a day? in the morning & at night?

[nguyenhaichau80]

@Godzenvy24 i dont think so, because it will damage your muscles, just do what the video says.

[Rnitrofish]

nice workout, thanks for the upload.

[DJQuizzargo]

Ive been doing this for 2 weeks now but dont really notice a change. I think im doing this excercise wrong. Do i do this whole video 8 times with 1 60sec break in between sets?

[motley0crue12]

@DJQuizzargo do all the exercises, then once you've done them all, you rest for 60 seconds, then you do the next set. 8 sets altogether.

[XXXKannibaLXXX]

Subscribed. Going to try out your workouts.

[KingZTrikX]

how do you deal with stretch marks? stretch marks started to appear on my upper body and i feel that its holding me back from working out

[schecterguitarsfan]

Hello Mike! Im a 17 years old teenager and i want to get fit and build muscles but I only weigh 60kg, 166cm tall and my friends say i need to take a mass gainer. Do i really need to take it? suggestions from anyone are welcome!

[iggi181]

mike i like to smoke weed will this effect my body building, like i dont like get high and work out but i do get high often

[jack19950]

Do you do the whole thing and then 60 second rest, or do you do each individual excersize and then 60 second rest? And how many times do we do this, just the one all the way through?

[470interista]

@jack19950 he does the whole set, that means all the excercises, then he makes the 60 sec rest, after that starts the second set for a total of eight sets, then you die

[jack19950]

@470interista

Haha, cheers mate. I'm feeling it after 2, I just don't know how the hell you can do 8.

[ddooodddoo]

Intense workout Mike. Thanks for sharing these videos because of them I have more confidence and pride in how i look

[jasen537]

hey will it work for 5 pounds on each side because im having a musal contest agents my freiand so if it will work plz tell me because im just a kid

[OtothaG]

@jasen537 if you're a kid then just do push ups and pull ups a lot.

[jay80009]

Is this good for putting on muscle mass

[kon123123]

Hi Mike love your videos would love it if you responded , I'm a 17 year old kid trying to get built and have a sick body, I have been going gym for around 6 months but I'm not seeing any major results,I am beginning to see a little bit of progress and some muscle gain but not allot,is it always a slow process to get ripped and especially for somebody my age? how regularly would you recommend me to hit the gym to achieve good results and do protein shakes really help you get built? Thanks mike!!

[richmondraver]

by about set 4 when i was starting to fail i was just staring at the video thinking "why aren't you getting tired you bastard!" ha

i swear i'm feeling the effects already though, big sesh!!

[packerfan471]

No joke, this is THE BEST workout to start working out with. Use a proper amount of weights (make sure you have proper form) and you will see results. Eating is crucial as well. I've gained 30 pounds since the summer, all because of this workout set. 8 total supersets, 8 reps each workout, 1 minute rest between each set.

[playstation1331]

i love this guy im in super FORM right now thx to HIM

[TimmyinBoots5]

ive been doing this workout for the past 2 weeks, every mon wed and fri, how till i start to see results?

[TrainingAllDay]

@TimmyinBoots5 if you havent seen results you might not using the right weight or you havent been doing the excercise correctly. or you could be getting stronger but your just not noticing it

[TimmyinBoots5]

@TrainingAllDay well ive been using 20 lbs weights since the beginning, and im doing all the exercises in the video

[TrainingAllDay]

@TimmyinBoots5 are you getting a nice pump and are you sore the next day?

[TimmyinBoots5]

@TrainingAllDay yes, is that a good thing?

[TrainingAllDay]

@TimmyinBoots5 yea, when your sore it usually means ur gaining muscle

[motley0crue12]

@TimmyinBoots5 you wont see results unless you eat properly. Even with eating properly, you shouldn't expect to see results until about 4-5 weeks, real results i mean.

[musclebeach40]

i really wanna thank you for all these videos man i have seen real results from these

[4455315]

i tryed useing 25lb dumbells and i can only like do 2 sets of this and ill be totally pooped. should i drop down the weight?

[tamaremnxapius]

Hi! How many seconds or reps do you have to do every exercise? Thanks!

[1kingd2]

Wow thanks for this work out. It is a good cardio work out as well as strength work out. During the 30 sec reset peroid I did crunches. I could only do 4 sets. I am going to try and work up to 8 sets. Thank you very much.

[comeonyoukr2008]

[rojrex2]

@usman112233 I will not bow by breaking benjamin

[Jmaster6111]

Hey mike, just one question, Does this maximize the Afterburn Effect?

[fatsojiggy007]

Thanks bro this is great now I got a couple new things to add to the workout!

[NesquiickProductions]

Should I just do this or maybe in co-operate it with something else say on Tuesday and Thursday? Please somebody reply.

[BuFuMikey]

[StoryOfLIfe12]

Does someone know of you have to use Light weight belts or heavy weight belts for your strengt or do you just take a weight your converthebol with? (sorry for the grammer guys)

[TheJaceyCee]

Is their a specific warmup you like to do before doing this workout?

[milontua]
