Gym | Single Workout | Beginner: 4 exercises
Enhance your upper body strength and sculpt your shoulders and upper chest with this comprehensive dumbbell workout. Targeting key muscle groups, this session involves 4 effective exercises, each with progressive reps to challenge your endurance and build muscle. Perfect for gym-goers of all levels, this workout requires only dumbbells and can be customized to match your fitness goals. Let's break it down:
The "Dumbbell Bench Seated Press" kickstarts the workout, focusing on your upper chest and shoulders. Perform 4 sets with decreasing reps (15, 12, 10, 10) as you gradually increase the dumbbell weight. Keep your back straight, lower the dumbbells to a 90-degree angle, and press them upwards to fully activate these muscles.
Move on to "Dumbbell Chest Supported Lateral Raises," a staple for building shoulder strength and enhancing lateral movement. This exercise also features 4 sets of 15-12-10-10 reps. Use a bench for chest support to isolate shoulder engagement effectively, and ensure controlled movements for optimal results.
The "Dumbbell Incline Front Raise" shifts attention to the anterior deltoids and upper chest. With the same set and rep format, this exercise will improve both strength and posture. Set your bench to an incline position, and lift the dumbbells in front of your body with a slight bend in the elbows for full muscle activation.
Finally, the "Dumbbell Face Down Lying Shoulder Press" delivers a unique angle for pressing, targeting the shoulders in a new way. Laying face down helps prevent momentum, ensuring isolation of the deltoids. With 4 sets and decreasing reps, focus on steady movement and proper form.
By incorporating this workout into your routine, you can expect transformed upper body strength and definition. Remember to pick a suitable weight to maintain form and rest 60-90 seconds between sets. Prioritize warm-ups and stretches to prevent injury and maximize muscle activation.
