Increase weight each round. See how heavy you can go. No Time limit once the round has begun.
Once you start the first set of 30, you can’t put the weights down or rest them on any surface. You can stop moving and hold the weights in your hand, but you can not let go of the Dumbbells.
Once you complete a full round, rest for 1 minute, then pick them back up and go again. This time, you have the option to increase the weight.
Start light, don’t burn out. Rest before you burn up too quickly. The hard part will be the grip so play it smart.
Scaling
Intermediate: Use 20/10 lb dumbbell weights.
Beginner: Use 20/10 lb dumbbell weights. Reduce repetitions to 21 reps.
