Workout For Your Upper Body

By Ryse Edwards

Coming up with the right body building workout for your upper body is important. You must be able to know your limits and what you are able to do without hurting yourself. You must also know your body well enough to recognize when you can push yourself that extra bit to reach new limits in your workout.

When working out your upper body, there are several muscles to consider. There is the shoulders, back, chest, biceps and triceps. There are several different workouts you can do for each muscle allowing you to switch up your routine from time to time. So let's get right into it.

Do not work on the same muscles two days in a row. You can split them up and work on your chest and back one day, and then your shoulders, biceps and triceps the next day if you want.

For your chest, you can do a flat bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press, flat bench dumbbell flyes, and much more. It is all about finding what suites you best.

Some back workouts to consider include bent over rowing, lat machine pull downs, dead lifts, shrugs and hyper extensions. As you begin to look at a body building workout for your back, it is important you pay close attention to form. The smallest slip-up can have you out for weeks with a back injury.

Then the next day, when you start on your other muscle groups, you can do a seated dumbbell press, shrugs, side lateral raises and alternate front dumbbell raises for your shoulder muscles.

When you workout your biceps, you can try to do some alternate dumbbell curls, standing barbell curls, incline dumbbell curls or some preacher curls. Preacher curls are simply curls that involve the use of a preacher bench.

The final part of your upper body building workout is your triceps. For your triceps you can do overhead rope extensions, standing cable press downs, triceps bench dips, and one arm dumbbell extensions.

For all of the exercises mentioned above, make sure that you fully understand how to do them properly first. Poor form will not only keep you from gaining muscle, but it can lead to serious injury too. - 17269
