This circuit training workout was designed to target specific areas:

1. Close-neutral-grip chin-up: lats in a stretched position
2. Incline pronated-grip dumbbell press: clavicular fibers of the pec major
3. 1¼ back squat: glutes and quads (VMO)
4. Incline dumbbell lateral raise: anterior and medial deltoids
5. Seated dumbbell shrug: upper traps
6. Standing calf raise: gastrocnemius
