A 25-minute workout that revolves around my fave exercise

Hey team, welcome back to Workout of the Week, my weekly workout for paid subscribers: It’s right around 25 minutes total, but if you don’t have the time or energy for all that, you can skip the warmup or cooldown, or only do one or two rounds of the strength circuit instead of all three.

This week, I was thinking about the single-arm chest press, an exercise I weirdly love, and what other movements might pair up nicely with it. This is a nice way to design your own workout, btw! If you’re just randomly in the mood for a sumo squat, or whatever, think about other movements that work different parts of the body, or different movement patterns, and pair them up. A little upper, a little lower; a little push, a little pull; a little squat, a little hinge. Get a variety of movements, including some things that feel fun and some things that feel hard, and you’re golden.

Anyway, let’s move on to this workout. Just a word of warning that you’ll get a funny random note from me spliced in at about 8:23 — I thought of something I wanted to add a day or two after I filmed this so I just popped it in there. As you know, I’m a stunningly excellent video editor so don’t be too dazzled by my filmmaking skills here. (Har har.) EDITED TO ADD: I just learned that there’s a very annoying sound issue with this little spliced-in segment. I am so sorry! I’ve been having a hell of a time the past few days with some sound issues on videos uploaded to Substack. I’m noodling on how to fix this, but for now please just skip that part. See below for an explanation of what I was trying to convey during that ear-splitting couple of minutes.
