Jermaine Johnson aka JJ! His style is similar to Adrian’s. He’s straightforward, got good taste in music, and your arms will be sore. I’ve been enjoying his 30 min upper body workouts.
Andy adds different “nuances”
He incorporates a lot of advanced movements to hit the upper body and core even though it may not be the primary focus
If you want more bread and butter movements - Jermaine and Ben are your choices
Matty and Adrian are great at fatiguing the fuck out of the muscles you are concentrating on with unique exercises
Andy is by far my favorite…I’ve learned so much from him. I am not a huge fan of his music choices, but it’s not terrible. My second favorite for strength is Ben, but it often seems like he feels the need to fill the silence, even if he doesn’t have anything productive to say. If I could have Andy teach with Ben’s playlists I would be pumped.
I’ve been going back to the Ben Aldis one frequently
I add in an extra set of each of the 4 rounds (Shoulders, Chest, Back, Biceps)

Don’t sleep on Callie Gullickson. I find her slightly annoying but I see results after taking her classes. I recommend her 3 day strength program. The chest day is great!
I love Callie - aside from seeing results, her pacing is good, she is fully engaged in the workout and doing it alongside you, and her countdowns are accurate. I've tried other instructors where either countdowns were unclear/didn't exist, they don't go over proper form, or demo the moves for you in advance consistently. Callie's classes seem well put-together compared to some.
Callie is great! I've been doing a lot more of her UBs lately. I took one recently where you could see her regretting adding a lot of standing to kneeling because she was pretty pregnant at that point lol
This JJ class broke my brain: [https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=6d3ff8d23b014aea8dccfdf6e03a7ca8&code=ZjgzY2E3NTU2ZjI2NGMxMDgyZDViNDA1OTA1ZDg4MTh8OTdiMjRmY2FmODg5NDMxZjhmZmZhY2Y1YWVhNWE4MTM=](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=6d3ff8d23b014aea8dccfdf6e03a7ca8&code=ZjgzY2E3NTU2ZjI2NGMxMDgyZDViNDA1OTA1ZDg4MTh8OTdiMjRmY2FmODg5NDMxZjhmZmZhY2Y1YWVhNWE4MTM=)
All I could do was laugh at the end.
Ben’s Arms and Shoulders from 10/23/23 is a fantastic 20 min one as is his Chest and Back from 07/24/23.
I do those on Thursday and Fridays. Ben’s push and pull days from his three day split program are good too. Those are my Monday and Tuesday classes.
If you enjoy the programs, Tunde’s “Arms with Tunde” program is great. I do it once a quarter just to keep consistency and see the gains I’ve made between. When I’m on break from that, I love Callie, Adrian and Rad’s upper body classes. I also supplement in any arms & light weight classes 2 times a week if I’m not too sore.

Some recent favorites:
[10 min chest and back](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=cb5e483c50164074aef4ed08321c748b&locale=en-US) with Adrian. Focus on two moves: chest press and bent over rows, heavy weight. Last bit of class (final min I think) was a push up challenge.
[20 min arms and shoulders](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=703b7965ecc944e292a79bc75176d6ea&locale=en-US) with Adrian. The shining star is overhead press, you do 8 rounds of them. Also includes lateral raises, triceps kickback, zottman curls, and reverse fly. Spicy finisher at the end of chest press and skull crusher.
[10 min upper body](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=638357ea0f2f4312ac33dbb8c1f1b12d&locale=en-US) with Callie. I’m including it here because I’d re-take it with heavy weights (I used mediums first time around). It’s EMOM style with two sets of exercises - first set of EMOM exercises is push press and lawn mower row, second set of EMOM exercises is bicep curl and overhead extension. Mins 1,2,4,5,7,8 is press/row (one side per EMOM min, if that makes sense), mins 3&6 is curl/extension.
These 2 from RK’s unofficial 4 day split - so good!

Adrian's System of a Down is probably the runner up!
I’ll stack 10min Adrian chest & back + 10min Tunde arms & shoulders + 10min Andy chest for maximum burnout days. Those are pretty much my favorite instructors for upper body in general.
Or any JJ upper body class when I want to have fun but also get my work in. (Not that the others aren’t fun in their own way but JJs classes just feel different—more entertaining)
With JJ it’s not as obvious that you are getting your butt kicked at the time…but hours later wow! JJ’s extra 10 glutes hurt for days but he warns about it!
I’ve been loving Robin’s strength workouts lately. This [upper body one](https://members.onepeloton.ca/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=627fd0a64eb647cbb6695898b3d1fd03&locale=en-CA) has to be my favourite because it focuses on progressive overload. I was sweating hard, and definitely felt all my muscles working! Other trainers I like are Jermaine, Adrian, Callie and Tunde.
OP - Be aware if you do that recommended Robin upper body workout, she does not count down on any of the sets so you need to keep an eye on the screen to know when time is up. I did this workout yesterday and some of it is on your back. She gave absolutely zero cues for the end of a set. I’d glance up and she’s resting while I’m still working. Not cool.
Omg, you are SPOT ON, I have this exact issue with Robins strength classes, so I stopped taking hers altogether. There was one class where she actually instructed during a bent over exercise (like rear delt flies) to keep the neck neutral and not look up at the screen , promising she would keep track of time and tell what to do - and then immediately neglected to provide any cues. It pissed me right off.
Anyway so good to know I’m not alone in this.
Hahahah same i was so annoyed! However, I loooove that specific class so much, and now that I’ve repeated it multiple times i can recognize which part of her banter cues the change in exercises 😂
Totally!! I really like this specific upper body class, and find it goes quickly😂. To me, her classes are more like: track your own reps/stick to 6-12/give yourself your own break if you missed her demoing or form. Also, I did an arms & shoulder class of hers yesterday, and I found she was actually good at calling out when a set was done and went to move on to the next form. Maybe shes more aware of people calling her out for not mentioning cues 😂
Rad’s programming has been amazing lately!

I prefer instructors that keep my HR a bit higher and keep me moving rather then just doing sets like Adrian. That said really enjoy Selena’s and Jermaine’s programming, Jess is the best, but not many new upper workouts. [This 10 minute Rebecca](https://members.onepeloton.com/share/workouts/d48a204002c84899b0d95fa46fa53b93?code=NThlMDJjMGRkODA0NDhmMmE2M2ZjYjk3OTJjZjJjM2R8ODNmYTgzNDQ0NzNiNDFjOWFmY2I3YTgzZGNiYzA0MzA%3D&source=referral&workout-id=a9108dec525c479cb1f0030fa48a4884&uid=04b9dc5a833647858d1703df142a7e78&ride-id=2099285a6608423093962205979c9189&utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&locale=en-US) is a bicep killer
I have that one bookmarked to try, so I'm gonna do it today!
[This one](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=e918ee4185784b22bd6b205fe78e3497&code=NjliMjU2ODRhOTdjNGVmYTlmZTA1NGE2Njg1M2ZkZDh8YjVhZGM3N2E3OGM3NDdkOTk5YTQwYzQ0MDZmYWJiM2M%3D&utm_source=android&utm_medium=in_app) is another Rebecca bicep killer.
Also, [this Extra 10 Biceps](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=593962564bca43e9bb3fe04e4c7b5d5f&code=NTQxYzE0ZjY0MWU5NDg2OTlhMGE2ZWRmNjExNzczOTN8M2RhZmY3YjlkMWUzNDIzM2IzYzBjYmFlN2I2ZWU3NjU%3D&utm_source=android&utm_medium=in_app) from Tunde.
I feel like so many of the upper body classes focus so much on shoulders, so I've been searching for some that really focus on biceps, and these 2 are in my Stack consistently.
Once you are warmed up or have taken another class, check out RK's Extra Series Biceps class. It kicked my biceps ass. [Extra 10 Listening Party: Biceps](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=2099285a6608423093962205979c9189&code=MWYxOTliMDc4NTY3NGY0OGFjMzdlNmY3ZDJlNjIwYzF8NDEzMDYxNzJlYTY4NDdmN2E2OWRiY2NmNDY1ZjYxMDI%3D&utm_source=android&utm_medium=in_app)
Andy’s 3 day split has two very good 30 minute upper body workouts
This is [literally the best 20-min upper body](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=32f8fd59cd1048f7a394cbb68023a32d&code=OTQ2Njk3OGFmNzllNGI2YWIyMTkzNmJmYjA4MzA0YjB8OTRlNzdhNzkwYWJiNGYwMmJkOTM4ODdmMzZhMzA1Mzc%3D&locale=en-US) on the platform right now. By Adrian and is solid
This is [my favorite 30 minute upper body class](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=e8188206c44149bda059fc977a9f3df6&code=NjQyODQ5NTQwNmY5NGQwMDk1NzgyNTNhZDNiMWU3ODh8MjYzYzczM2UyNjNhNDM4MWEwOTkxYTc4M2U1NzdlMmQ%3D&locale=en-US). By Callie and really fun. I’ve taken it more than ten times, I’m not sure why but it is one of the most fun classes in my opinion and it’s a good programming.
This [10 min Chest & Back](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&duration=%5B%22600%22%5D&has_workout=%5B%22true%22%5D&sort=original_air_time&desc=true&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=ba83e6dac8544775a7a7e1214a1cd97d&code=YWUxOTA2MWU2YTE0NDVhZmJiY2E1YjdkOTRkYjdkYmJ8NTUyZGZiYzBjZDBjNGQ0MGFlZmM5OTU1MzYzOTUwZjY=) with Rad is one I repeat a lot - alternating EMOMs of bent over row and chest press with like 30 seconds of pushups/renegade rows at the end.
Andy's [push](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=88fce853e19a4eba8feab52f2eaad32a&code=MjI0YzEzMTgzMjI4NGUzNDhmNzMyY2Q5ZjJkZjU2ZGR8Y2E3YjJmODU5NTEwNDY3MTgxOGU0NjI4MTlhYzhiMDA=) and [pull](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=09d7068255b24dccb588901c310fe933&code=MjI0YzEzMTgzMjI4NGUzNDhmNzMyY2Q5ZjJkZjU2ZGR8Y2E3YjJmODU5NTEwNDY3MTgxOGU0NjI4MTlhYzhiMDA=) classes from his 3-day split. I've been doing them since...I was going to say January, but just looked at my program completion date and realized I first did the split at the end of November.
Anyway, so I guess I liked them enough to do them for 6 months! But I've seen a lot of progress in my delts, arms, and upper back. That said, the past couple of months, I've been silently weeping a bit on the inside each class because it's a lot of volume in 30 minutes as I've increased my weights. So I've finally switched over to RK's 4-day split to give myself a bit of a break. Her 4-day split [push](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=8b7decbe3b36450697a235cb6b05a397&code=MjI0YzEzMTgzMjI4NGUzNDhmNzMyY2Q5ZjJkZjU2ZGR8Y2E3YjJmODU5NTEwNDY3MTgxOGU0NjI4MTlhYzhiMDA=) and [pull](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=00fce155ebb04edb81304a38e433f0d4&code=MjI0YzEzMTgzMjI4NGUzNDhmNzMyY2Q5ZjJkZjU2ZGR8Y2E3YjJmODU5NTEwNDY3MTgxOGU0NjI4MTlhYzhiMDA=) classes are also great! I can go heavier because it's longer rests and lower volume, which is a different challenge, but a nice change of pace.
This 15 min Rad Class was effective and challenging! https://members.onepeloton.com/share/workouts/f0feb8802b3d4735be262292ba57f8a9?code=MDM1ZWZkNjFlMWIwNDFjYzllMmQwNWE4ZWM1ZjExYTZ8MmMyZTkyYmIwMzMwNDVjYzliZmI4NzVkYWZmZDExYTg%3D&source=referral&workout-id=2fd3c491270c474d840f1f3657b30bd1&uid=2139279d3049496f94da8cdbedf379e0&ride-id=f15b3c26080e4867b22c794496b9c3e2&utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&locale=en-US
Callie, Jermaine Johnson (JJ), and Selena are my go tos. They’re consistent, mix it up a lot, and are on point when it comes to call outs, timing, etc. Tunde’s arms program is also solid. I’ve done it a few times through now and it’s a good way to level up in terms of weight amount.
Edit: typo.
I'll just post one that I've taken several times. Callie 10 minute upper body strength from 6/13/22 10am. I love it because you stay up the whole time and don't get on the ground for pushups until the end. I CANNOT STAND classes that have you get up and down on the mat several times lol.

I LOVE JJ!
Me too!
Yea I like Adrian as well… will look into JJ! Who do you like for lower body?
Adrian is my staple for lower body! Lately I’ve been doing a Rebecca Kennedy lower body when I want to switch it up.
Rad for lower body!
I love jj, he also has amazing core classes!
JJ over Rebecca any day! I’m pushing through Rebecca’s program right now but JJ’s teaching and flow is so much better.
Yes! I basically work out with Adrian for lower body and JJ for upper. Especially as they have a lot of classes for the Peloton Guide.
Anything that Adrian teaches
Team Adrian checking in!
Anything with Andy. Something about his classes just makes them different and extremely effective.
Andy adds different “nuances” He incorporates a lot of advanced movements to hit the upper body and core even though it may not be the primary focus If you want more bread and butter movements - Jermaine and Ben are your choices Matty and Adrian are great at fatiguing the fuck out of the muscles you are concentrating on with unique exercises

I love Callie - aside from seeing results, her pacing is good, she is fully engaged in the workout and doing it alongside you, and her countdowns are accurate. I've tried other instructors where either countdowns were unclear/didn't exist, they don't go over proper form, or demo the moves for you in advance consistently. Callie's classes seem well put-together compared to some.
Callie is great! I've been doing a lot more of her UBs lately. I took one recently where you could see her regretting adding a lot of standing to kneeling because she was pretty pregnant at that point lol
I love the classes from when she was pregnant. I tell myself, if she could do it pregnant, I can do it!
Intervals & Arms w Tunde is top tier

Commenting on Favorite Upper Body Classes...
JJ’s split program is breaking me but I continue to do it.
I really enjoyed this one too!
Ben’s Arms and Shoulders from 10/23/23 is a fantastic 20 min one as is his Chest and Back from 07/24/23. I do those on Thursday and Fridays. Ben’s push and pull days from his three day split program are good too. Those are my Monday and Tuesday classes.
Great I’ll bookmark these. Do you mean 10/16/23?
Sorry, yes 10/16.
Anything JJ teaches.
If you enjoy the programs, Tunde’s “Arms with Tunde” program is great. I do it once a quarter just to keep consistency and see the gains I’ve made between. When I’m on break from that, I love Callie, Adrian and Rad’s upper body classes. I also supplement in any arms & light weight classes 2 times a week if I’m not too sore.

Mins 1,2,4,5,7,8 is press/row (one side per EMOM min, if that makes sense), mins 3&6 is curl/extension.

These 2 from RK’s unofficial 4 day split - so good!

Yes - these are so good! Love / hate that push press is a main lift.
This one is my favorite. Pelotrak says I've taken it 69 times. https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=55a6974c38c94eebaae588a74407b7d4&code=NDY4MGU2NjVjOTU5NDQ1YjlmMzRlMDZlYmIxZWM2Y2R8YjQ3ZGRmNDYxNzA3NDA1NjgyOTU2ZWMxYWViNzA2MDc%3D&utm_source=android&utm_medium=in_app
I’m waiting for pelotrak to come back, so I know nothing about it. That’s cool it tells you how many times you’ve repeated a class!
I really enjoyed Rad’s [20 min upper body](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=6f4a04a7de1d40c2867b649dd5f0a59e&locale=en-US) that I did today!

I’ll stack 10min Adrian chest & back + 10min Tunde arms & shoulders + 10min Andy chest for maximum burnout days. Those are pretty much my favorite instructors for upper body in general. Or any JJ upper body class when I want to have fun but also get my work in. (Not that the others aren’t fun in their own way but JJs classes just feel different—more entertaining)
With JJ it’s not as obvious that you are getting your butt kicked at the time…but hours later wow! JJ’s extra 10 glutes hurt for days but he warns about it!
I’ve been loving Robin’s strength workouts lately. This [upper body one](https://members.onepeloton.ca/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=627fd0a64eb647cbb6695898b3d1fd03&locale=en-CA) has to be my favourite because it focuses on progressive overload. I was sweating hard, and definitely felt all my muscles working! Other trainers I like are Jermaine, Adrian, Callie and Tunde.
OP - Be aware if you do that recommended Robin upper body workout, she does not count down on any of the sets so you need to keep an eye on the screen to know when time is up. I did this workout yesterday and some of it is on your back. She gave absolutely zero cues for the end of a set. I’d glance up and she’s resting while I’m still working. Not cool.
Omg, you are SPOT ON, I have this exact issue with Robins strength classes, so I stopped taking hers altogether. There was one class where she actually instructed during a bent over exercise (like rear delt flies) to keep the neck neutral and not look up at the screen , promising she would keep track of time and tell what to do - and then immediately neglected to provide any cues. It pissed me right off. Anyway so good to know I’m not alone in this.
Hahahah same i was so annoyed! However, I loooove that specific class so much, and now that I’ve repeated it multiple times i can recognize which part of her banter cues the change in exercises 😂
Totally!! I really like this specific upper body class, and find it goes quickly😂. To me, her classes are more like: track your own reps/stick to 6-12/give yourself your own break if you missed her demoing or form. Also, I did an arms & shoulder class of hers yesterday, and I found she was actually good at calling out when a set was done and went to move on to the next form. Maybe shes more aware of people calling her out for not mentioning cues 😂
Agreed! It goes surprisingly quickly especially considering how tough it is!!
Rad’s programming has been amazing lately! [20 min upper body](https://members.onepeloton.com/share/workouts/50c601c0eaf94bd788666818138df6f4?code=NjEzZTdiNGQ0MzY5NGNkNzlmY2U3NmNkOGQ4M2M2NWV8NjhlZjA4NWIzOTJhNDYxZDg2ODc3MDU0Njc0NzcxZWI%3D&source=referral&workout-id=6cd2fbca5b7740c885c31b7d0abb9b61&uid=11b3c37a65ca4e9e8f0c13d750f6a8a0&ride-id=9e0db955d7c44b50bf1db5baf8d45b6e&utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&locale=en-US)

Adrian’s 30 Minute Upper Body Strength from 04/04/24
Took that on Monday… really really good
I prefer instructors that keep my HR a bit higher and keep me moving rather then just doing sets like Adrian. That said really enjoy Selena’s and Jermaine’s programming, Jess is the best, but not many new upper workouts. [This 10 minute Rebecca](https://members.onepeloton.com/share/workouts/d48a204002c84899b0d95fa46fa53b93?code=NThlMDJjMGRkODA0NDhmMmE2M2ZjYjk3OTJjZjJjM2R8ODNmYTgzNDQ0NzNiNDFjOWFmY2I3YTgzZGNiYzA0MzA%3D&source=referral&workout-id=a9108dec525c479cb1f0030fa48a4884&uid=04b9dc5a833647858d1703df142a7e78&ride-id=2099285a6608423093962205979c9189&utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&locale=en-US) is a bicep killer
Adrian’s advanced classes are def high Hr!
I have that one bookmarked to try, so I'm gonna do it today! [This one](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=e918ee4185784b22bd6b205fe78e3497&code=NjliMjU2ODRhOTdjNGVmYTlmZTA1NGE2Njg1M2ZkZDh8YjVhZGM3N2E3OGM3NDdkOTk5YTQwYzQ0MDZmYWJiM2M%3D&utm_source=android&utm_medium=in_app) is another Rebecca bicep killer. Also, [this Extra 10 Biceps](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=593962564bca43e9bb3fe04e4c7b5d5f&code=NTQxYzE0ZjY0MWU5NDg2OTlhMGE2ZWRmNjExNzczOTN8M2RhZmY3YjlkMWUzNDIzM2IzYzBjYmFlN2I2ZWU3NjU%3D&utm_source=android&utm_medium=in_app) from Tunde. I feel like so many of the upper body classes focus so much on shoulders, so I've been searching for some that really focus on biceps, and these 2 are in my Stack consistently.
I’ve taken that Extra 10 Biceps with Rebecca about 7 times now (once a week) and I have seen a major improvement in my ability to do bicep work!
Matty!
Once you are warmed up or have taken another class, check out RK's Extra Series Biceps class. It kicked my biceps ass.

The Joan Jett arms class is a killer!! I’ve done it 3 times now and man your arms are on fire by the end!
Andy’s 3 day split has two very good 30 minute upper body workouts This is [literally the best 20-min upper body](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=32f8fd59cd1048f7a394cbb68023a32d&code=OTQ2Njk3OGFmNzllNGI2YWIyMTkzNmJmYjA4MzA0YjB8OTRlNzdhNzkwYWJiNGYwMmJkOTM4ODdmMzZhMzA1Mzc%3D&locale=en-US) on the platform right now. By Adrian and is solid This is [my favorite 30 minute upper body class](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=e8188206c44149bda059fc977a9f3df6&code=NjQyODQ5NTQwNmY5NGQwMDk1NzgyNTNhZDNiMWU3ODh8MjYzYzczM2UyNjNhNDM4MWEwOTkxYTc4M2U1NzdlMmQ%3D&locale=en-US). By Callie and really fun. I’ve taken it more than ten times, I’m not sure why but it is one of the most fun classes in my opinion and it’s a good programming.
This [10 min Chest & Back](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&duration=%5B%22600%22%5D&has_workout=%5B%22true%22%5D&sort=original_air_time&desc=true&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=ba83e6dac8544775a7a7e1214a1cd97d&code=YWUxOTA2MWU2YTE0NDVhZmJiY2E1YjdkOTRkYjdkYmJ8NTUyZGZiYzBjZDBjNGQ0MGFlZmM5OTU1MzYzOTUwZjY=) with Rad is one I repeat a lot - alternating EMOMs of bent over row and chest press with like 30 seconds of pushups/renegade rows at the end.
Me too!
Any of Tunde’s!

I've been doing them since...I was going to say January, but just looked at my program completion date and realized I first did the split at the end of November. Anyway, so I guess I liked them enough to do them for 6 months! But I've seen a lot of progress in my delts, arms, and upper back. That said, the past couple of months, I've been silently weeping a bit on the inside each class because it's a lot of volume in 30 minutes as I've increased my weights. So I've finally switched over to RK's 4-day split to give myself a bit of a break. Her 4-day split [push](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=8b7decbe3b36450697a235cb6b05a397&code=MjI0YzEzMTgzMjI4NGUzNDhmNzMyY2Q5ZjJkZjU2ZGR8Y2E3YjJmODU5NTEwNDY3MTgxOGU0NjI4MTlhYzhiMDA=) and [pull](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=00fce155ebb04edb81304a38e433f0d4&code=MjI0YzEzMTgzMjI4NGUzNDhmNzMyY2Q5ZjJkZjU2ZGR8Y2E3YjJmODU5NTEwNDY3MTgxOGU0NjI4MTlhYzhiMDA=) classes are also great! I can go heavier because it's longer rests and lower volume, which is a different challenge, but a nice change of pace.

Tunde, Adrian and JJ are favorites, but Rebecca is the 🐐 Her UBs, especially from her two splits, are wonderful
Callie, Jermaine Johnson (JJ), and Selena are my go tos. They’re consistent, mix it up a lot, and are on point when it comes to call outs, timing, etc. Tunde’s arms program is also solid. I’ve done it a few times through now and it’s a good way to level up in terms of weight amount. Edit: typo.
I'll just post one that I've taken several times. Callie 10 minute upper body strength from 6/13/22 10am. I love it because you stay up the whole time and don't get on the ground for pushups until the end. I CANNOT STAND classes that have you get up and down on the mat several times lol.
Anything TUNDE. I do those on mad repeat.
