Get Fit for Waterskiing

UPPER BODY

Chest, lats, shoulders, and upper back.

It is possible to work most of the upper body muscle groups using just a few exercises.  Straight-arm chin-ups, dips, lying pull-ups, and free incline presses.  Most of the exercises will be familiar to you so I'll briefly talk about the lying pull-ups.   

For this you will need a fixed bar.  You should be able to have you feet on the ground, hold the bar with straight arms and have your shoulders clear of the ground.   Now pull up slowly until your chin reaches the bar.  Other exercises that can be used include Lat Pull Downs, Peck-Deck, fixed bench press, seated rows.

The majority of upper body exercise will also exercise your arms, so you will be killing 2 muscles with 1 move
