It’s all about the slow eccentric (controlling the negative portion), followed by a faster, almost explosive tempo on the concentric (lifting portion)!
The timer will be on for the majority of the workout 40 seconds of work with 20 seconds of rest in between each set!
The dumbbells Content Creator is using for your reference are 2 x 15kg for the chest at the beginning. We then use 2 x 8kg and 2 x 4kg for the shoulders and triceps
I also use 1 x 8kg for the finisher sets!
On-screen during the rest period it will clearly say what weight Content Creator is using if The content Creator has changed it since the last set! It is also detailed below just for your reference!

You will appreciate the dynamics involved within the staple and an opportunity to not only perform bodyweight but also increase the heart rate that bit more!
Overall this workout is a hypertrophy workout with the focus on increasing time under tension during the eccentric (lowering) phase to promote increased strength, stability, control of joints and stronger connecting tissues…. all with a dynamic staple in between!
