This is the upper body tape from the Project You set by Beachbody. I have already reviewed most of the titles and have very positive feelings about them. I have not loved the strength work in this series though, so I had a bit of trepidation going into this one. I was pleasantly surprised! I found the lower body tape too boring and the total body tape too low rep. This is just right. Each body part is supersetted with one or more others, so you do one set through of chest and back then repeat, core interlude, then one set through of biceps/triceps/shoulders and repeat then have another core interlude. Most exercises get a 2-up-2-down count set, then a 1-2-3 hold, then a regular set. Mostly classic moves here, inlcuding my fav biceps with military press. The time went by really quickly and I enjoyed the workout a lot.

I always try to evaluate whether workouts in a series can stand alone or not. Even if you own the whole set, you might like some workouts and not others, and the ones you do like can be useless if they are overly reliant on the others. So how does this stand as a complete workout? Pretty good on the exercise front, but as it is meant to follow a cardio session, it does not include a warm-up at all. So be warned that you have to do your own warm-up, but other than that I feel this is a well-done and thorough workout with many opportunities to work with someone's routine.
