Today's session is about increasing muscle mass or "toning up" for the upper body. You have 2 Giant Sets (4 Exercises in a row, minimal rest) to perform: one for Upper Body Pushing, the other for Upper Body Pulling.
Modify any exercises to meet your ability level or environment. The goal is you want to be able to fully exhaust your upper body after the end of 3 sets, so use a weight that creates fatigue after each exercise.
