Pilates Reformer for Weight Lifting Pt 2 | Upper Body

Do this 12 minute upper body pilates reformer workout to help boost your workouts in the gym! This is a series of exercises I perform on the reformer to assist with my weight training program I do in the gym. Their job is to hit key areas of strength, stabilization, mobility, and flexibility that improve my upper body weight training routine. This allows me to move better and get the best results from my weight training routine.

This quick at home workout consist of six exercises: Soldier External Rotation, Face Pull, 90/90 Delt Fly, Shoulder Internal Rotation, Shoulder External Rotation, Pallof Press with overhead lift. Each exercise consists of one set with a focus on full range of motion. Each set consists of 8 - 10 reps. Remember this routine is meant to assist your workouts so aim for spring setting to allow for medium intensity! As you build up strength in your shoulder and core stabilizers you can add a second round.

While these are all areas that can be hit in the gym, depending on equipment availability, I like to add them in as a part of my active recovery days. This allows me to keep my gym training exercises volume down but intensity up. It also helps prevent me from psychologically exhaustion and keeping my workouts fun.
