Yes, 30 minutes is a lot, so, pick your weight wisely, these are thirty minutes of quality work, we want as many quality reps as possible (AMQRAP). This workout is all about pacing and taking appropriate rest.
(pronounced as AM CRAP but it’s not)
This workout is truly a full-body workout but in particular, it will hit your delts, the whole area around the shoulder blades, the hip abductors and adductors, obliques, quadratus lumborum, and so much more.

Are the biceps used in this workout?
Yes, the elbow flexors are used as stabilizers during the military press. As you’re pressing up and to the side the stabilizers will need to work to keep the forearm vertical, in fact, even the triceps are working. I mention this as you might be wondering the next day why you’re feeling your bi’s and tri’s, plus it’s a fun fact.
