IRON Series 30 Min Upper Body Chest and Triceps Workout | 12

I love this gal. The fact that these workouts are free is why KZbin is so great.

Tried to do this workout a month ago and had to stop because it was way too hard. I've been doing Caroline's workouts ever since, and today I made it all the way through!!! Thank you for this feeling of accomplishment!!

Morning Devansh...yes it’s been a while since we’ve had such an intense session for chest and triceps! I’m sure you’ll smash it...I found the last part of the finisher so hard!!! I managed four tricep push ups...then my triceps just stopped working! Have a great workout and a great day, Devansh!

The finisher is so hard this is the first one I wasn’t able to do. Had to modify big time! But I love it! Thank you, Caroline! Love your warm, encouraging smile all the way😍❤

[@hopkins247]

I truly don’t know how you did those push ups at the end! Another great workout!

[@AndreiDamian]

I think she could use heavier weights throughout, but she is sticking to just two, maximum 3, different weights, not to confuse us too much. She could start with 22,5kg for the first round of chest, 20 for the second and only on the third drop to 17,5. That way she could also be a lot more tired at the finisher. But of course she has more training than the rest of us. Not only bigger muscles, but better conditioned.

[@ekaterinateteneva171]

I did them in parts 1,2 and 3 through my afternoon 😅

[@matchettelopez5851]

I have been working out with dumbbells for about 2 years and I am also able to do push-ups, however by the finisher I was unable to do even one regular push-up! Praise the Lord! Thank you Caroline!

[@sharonthompson4774]

Oooh now that was an impressive amount of work on the upper body! Today I increased my weights particularly for the chest. Using the new equipment was great at the end too. Thank you Caroline for a great session today! Have a lovely Tuesday everyone!

[@matthewalmond8274]

Morning Sharon...that’s great to read that you increased your weights today...well done! I’m sure you are feeling very fit and strong ! So glad you enjoyed this...I did too...but I found the finisher so hard! Hope you have a lovely Tuesday too!

[@opeyemisalau934]

I used 16.5kg, 11.5kg and 6.5kg for today's workout and I absolutely enjoyed it. I thought my hands will give way at some point, but they held on. I had to do dead stop tricep push ups on my knees for the last 5 reps of that finisher, but it was indeed a finisher. Thanks so much, Caroline and have fun doing this, guys.

[@ebymodebelu]

Day 12 complete! My Lord are my hands shaking! Being on the mat is deceptive, I fooled myself into thinking I'll be resting today but nope, Caroline said NOOOOO gurl, you have to put in the work! I had to modify the last movements as I can't lift my whole body yet but still got in a workout, hopefully I'll be able to do the full push-up in the near future. I used 10 and 6kg weights for this workout. Roll on Day 13 💪🏾 ❤️

[@fitme2124]

Hi Ebele ~ I couldn't do even one full body push up last year June. But after doing Caroline's workout consistently until today, I may do 3-5 full body pushup continuously without stopping. You may do it too! Keep it up! 🤩💪🏻👍🏻💐

[@ebymodebelu]

@@fitme2124 Thank you so much for the encouragement, I'll keep pushing! ❤️

[@FlossontheMill]

It will be nice to give the legs a rest today, I'm feeling yesterday's super session still! The chest and triceps are definitely going to have a solid workout thanks to Caroline's expertly planned routine. The finisher is going to be a test on the arm and core strength as well. I'm looking forward to this one, I love chest workouts. Time to rise and smile 😃👍👍👋

Enjoy the workout Philippa, great to be working through another series alongside.

Morning Philippa hope you had fun. It was tough but great. Can feel that the chest/arms got a good workout. Abs add on done too. Enjoy your day🙂

[@matthewalmond8274]

Morning Philippa...you are right to say that the finisher is going to be a test of strength! I’m not so often defeated by things but on the final tricep push ups I managed four...then my triceps simply stopped working! Enjoy the workout...and I hope you smash that finisher!

Hi Philippa! I found yesterday's workout pretty tough! I used only 10kg dumbbells, my legs couldn't take more. What about you? Have a good day! 🙋‍♀️

[@anthonycraig274]

I think its brilliant that Caroline is showing everyone that you can use different equipment to supplement their workout. For leg day, I use a weighted vest to add a much heavier load without having to strain my arms/wrist.

[@matthewalmond8274]

Hi Anthony...glad to hear that you are using interesting extra pieces of equipment! I’ve read before that you use a weighted vest..interesting idea to avoid the strain of holding heavy weights! Sounds like a good idea! Hope you have a great workout today! Matthew

[@isabelleweiler5603]

Hi Anthony! As Matthew said, it certainly sounds interesting! I use straps but it's still heavy on the arms...

[@alisonryckman7711]

Hi Anthony, I do recall you saying that before. I might have to look into that because I know my grip is a limiting factor on leg day, and I can’t hoist two weights heavier than 20 lbs up to my shoulders like Caroline does! I’ve seen a homemade version of a vest with weight plates in a knapsack too. The vest is probably a lot less awkward though! Have a good day!

[@anthonycraig274]

@@alisonryckman7711 hi Alison, if you are going to invest in a weighted vest, buy one that is as comfortable as you can. I recommend one Made of soft neoprene material, stuffed with iron pellets. AVIOD the cheaper ones stuffed with sand. If you want can give you an example, let me know.

[@alisonryckman7711]

@@anthonycraig274 Thank you, Anthony. I was just looking on Fitness Depot for their offerings, and it seems they have what you describe. Next time we are there, I’ll look into it. Hopefully, it fits and is adjustable to my small frame. In the product video, they show a guy doing triceps pushups while wearing it! That would be a challenge!!

Same here! With fresh arms, I can do decent push ups and triceps push ups. But here, the Finisher finished me. 🤣

[@elisalopomo6106]

Great session! Having 3 sets allows you to really feel the movement and contraction as you go along. After yesterday's big drop in morale and fatigue, it feels good to get back into the swing of things. Have a great day everyone! See you tomorrow!

[@matthewalmond8274]

You too have a great day, Elisa...and yes...see you for posterior chain tomorrow! I think it;s going to be a great session once again! Your words about the three sets are so true...the intensity just builds up so that the third set is really hard! Enjoy the rest of your day! Matthew

[@CarmenIoneanu]

This was very tough and I struggled a lot with the dips and then the finisher! I did give up at the end and I did not perform the triceps push-ups, but I am sure I'll do better next time. Thanks Caroline, for another amazing upper body!

[@liviermv4325]

I love so much what you are doing. I tried to exercise for very long time with videos from other KZbinrs, most of them with many views, but finding you was definitely very impactful for my life. Thanks to your program, I don’t feel lost anymore, and before you, I will skip many days because I didn’t have a proper program, I only choose whatever exercise I wanted to do. But now I feel so excited every day and I can see something that never happen to me before, its that my body it’s in fact changing. I love you, you are a role model. I will be watching your videos forever.

Oh Caroline… I love you add more upper body programs in Iron series…. Exactly my goal.. I am still weak with push-ups but can add more weights with shoulder press and curls… my endurance is visibly enhanced with 1 min interval… I purposely focus on the muscles along spine and around shoulder blades that really help me dealing with heavier weights.. the control, the coordination, the idea I had before but not knowing why and how now all become so crystal clear and meaningful… 🙏 thank you…

After doing the leg day workout with my new dumbbells I can do this too with heavy weights thr was a time when I can't even lift 5kgs and now omg I don't have words to describe ..I've gained more strength and power and I'm very proud of it and glad that I found caroline who helped me found out my weaknesses and my strength as far as today's session I'm really looking forward to do the finisher as I love push-ups let's go guys and let's push ourselves beyond the limits and kick smash this session..

[@dinkydoo4790]

I've lifted in the past, pretty seriously, mainly the whole of my 40's. In my 50's it was Beachbody Insanity and Max 30 but last year my body was telling me all this jumping around was getting harder. I'm now 61 and came back to weights when I found you Caroline. Started doing Epic and halfway through switched to Iron. I"m on my first round but don't keep to the schedule as I also like walking the Scottish mountains so I need a rest in between, especially leg days. How I'm loving lifting those weights again. My muscle memory from my 40's has bounced back pretty well and it's great doing this at home with you and the community. Thank you so much for your videos. I just need to get more dumbells as I'm working with two adjustable 10kgs at the moment. xx

My second (or third?) time through the Iron Series and I love it even more than when I did it the first time!💜💪

[@ruthalufagus]

A couple things to remember when doing this one: 1. there’s 3 rounds of each set. That starts feeling pretty heavy by the end, so make sure you choose your weights well and pace yourself! 2. Going heavy-ish makes you feel strong and awesome until you get to the dips and can’t do a single one so have to sub them out for cobra pushups…naturally leaving NOTHING in the tank for the finisher 😬 Thank you for another awesome workout…can’t wait to do it again in the future to see the improvement.

[@IWantsACoffee]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that in every single workout with dumbbells, Caroline never even bothers with weight lifting gloves? Grip strength 💯

[@kmm862]

So happy with the lifting series. My 15yo son, who is a cross country runner, is starting to do these work outs to get some definition. It's great for him to get started with these to develop appropriate form, and of course he won't listen to mom (who can still beat him in arm wrestling). Thank you Caroline!

[@someonefemale4195]

Staying consistent again. Yay! Posting my review is almost like showing my consistency. Today's workout wrecked me. Mercy I am barely able to use my upper body. I had to use lighter than usual weights and do all but a few wide push ups on my knees. Not sure why: Just tired, not hydrated, still sore and tired in my muscles from previous workout...? Not sure but I did it and that is the important part. Thank you again for a great workout and a great series.

Triceps definitely got a good workout! I went heavier today on diamond and regular presses so I wasn’t surprised when I could barely do those last pushups on the bars. Opted for the cobras today, nice & slow ones, felt every second of those. Stayed with my regular DB choice for chest press and flyes knowing 3x1 minute sets was going to be enough of a challenge. Definitely enjoying these minute sets, gives a chance to tweak and play around with tempo when you feel like it. Thank you for another great workout!

Caroline - I am LOVING this series and YOU! I have been into lifting for the last few months and your videos are perfect to supplement!!! Thank you so much for your creative workouts and mostly for the explanations before each...so helpful!

[@gwnhvy]

This one was certainly a killer! Start to finish, with the 1min x 3 sets, really challenging. Those push-ups at the end were spectacularly hard after such a solid session!

[@icasma5038]

this one was SO FUN! i was thinking that my arms didn't feel too maxed out....but when I got into that first pushup of the finisher, my arms collapsed and I just went down, lol. it caught me by surprise, and I kept going after that, tried to to my best!

[@manvi3918]

Yesterday lifted single 20 kg for the goblet squats for the first time, only managed 6-7 reps but felt like a badass... (Although arms got more of a workout than legs🤣) Now everything hurts so much today lol This program is literally like a treatment for my anxiety issues! So happy it's chest and triceps as even walking or taking stairs or sitting is a bit of a task today Caroline!! Day 12, here we goo

Well done on your progress Manvi! ☺️ All of Caroline's programs help cure and improve the mental health. Walking and stretching should help with the soreness, the more I move the better it gets! Enjoy your workout today 💪

Woowee!! I was able to use 25lb to “match” Caroline’s 10KG so I was hooting and hollering for my progress. Doing skull crushers with a new heavier weight is exhilarating and only slightly nerve racking. I was on top of the world… until the finisher. Looks like I have plenty of room for improvement in my push-up game. 🤣 looking forward to the rest of the series to see what other PRs I can manage! Thank you for another amazing workout!!

Hi Amber...your experience was very much like mine...the finisher really did finish me!! My triceps simply stopped working by the end! Wasn't it a tough one! Enjoy the rest of your day and see you tomorrow! Matthew

Excited to start! Feel strong after Chest and tris Sesh. Got pushup bars that haven't used yet and I get to try em today. Let's Push and Smash this! 👊 Have a great workout y'all! 😊 Done ✔️ plus 12min. 4×4 Ab wo. Wow!! Chest were shaking and Triceps 💥. Toughest were dips and Finisher as Arms were dying. So.. Pushup bars def. easier on the wrists but more challenging doing the push-ups. Could only do about 3 wide and abt 6 of regular. It's a Fun challenge. 🤩 Thanks Caroline! ❤️

Well done Trish you rocked this one. Agree with you dips were very ouchie and the finisher finished me off. Managed the first 2 fine but when it came to tricep ones couldn't lift myself off the floor. Did those from my knees. Add on done too but decided to do a 15 min upper abs too that I have never done before from aBout a year ago so all set for the day. Have a good day🙂

Hi Annette...yes what a tough finisher...simply finished my arms off!

[@aarondaman7]

Great workout! Usually I can do 25 + pushups in a row, but during the iron finisher I could only manage 5 reps of the wide pushups before failure, did the regulars 1 at a time, then had to do modified tricep pushups because I couldn't even do 1 rep!

[@mandyshoemaker8278]

1st time since I started this Iron series (1st series with CG) and my arms were so fatigued I could not hardly do a pushup without busting my face. Love these workouts!

[@marileedebruyn7192]

Really enoyed this one, but it was hard. I played around with my weights and actually managed to do a few chest presses with 12.5kg weights today, which is crazy and I'm so proud of myself😄 My triceps still need a bit of work, but I tried to challenge them with weight today as well without compromising form. Tricep pushups remain very frustrating for me, but I do think that focusing on the negatives is gradually giving me some more range of motion (it feels like I do semi decent half reps now, so yay). Thanks for another cool session, Caroline! Much love from South Africa

[@helencarter9511]

This looks great as usual! Chest and tris is my favorite combo. I always preveiw the workout before I do it and see what weights you are using and how many reps you do in the time frame and I think okay this looks easy enough, Ive got this. (You make it look easy lol) Then about a third of the way through the workout I think, wrong again!, this is hard! but its great as it makes me challenge myself to push past comfort zone. Thank you for another great workout!

[@anthonycarson2541]

Great chest day using 20kg and 11kg DBs. Used my Push-up handles which rotate so nice to keep the form slow and steady to keep the grip in one position. What a great piece of equipment tgat I have had for years and just never used it, definitely will be trying one od Carolines Pushup days using these. Also completed my tricep pushups on the handles as well which made it super tough. Have a great day everyone 😀

[@matthewalmond8274]

Hello Anthony...sounds like you've had another great session! I'm intrigued by your comment on the rotating handles on the push up bars...I don't think I've ever seen these! I found the last part of this workout very hard! I found the dips challenging...got through the first two sets of push ups in the finisher more or less OK...but after about 3 reps of tricep push ups my triceps simply stopped working! Oh well...I guess I'd worked to failure. I used 12.5 and 8 kg weights which was as much as I could handle! Enjoy your evening, Anthony...and I'll see you for posterior chain workout tomorrow! Matthew

[@anthonycarson2541]

Yea @@matthewalmond8274 so Matthew if can imagine Carolines pushup handles the are triangular on the base, mine are round. However on the bottom mine have a disc, this disc stays static but the the top section can rotate clockwise and anticlockwice so you can change the hand grip... they are very effective at targetting the angles. This week looks super so see you tomorrow for what looks like another great session.
