Two Arm Exercises You Cannot NOT Skip!

Upper body training offers a wide array of exercises targeting various muscle groups, including chest, back, biceps, triceps, shoulders, traps, and lats. This workout focuses on two compound pushing exercises: one for shoulders and one for chest and triceps. Let's begin!

1. The Half-Kneeling Dumbbell Shoulder Press

What it works:

• The front & side head of the deltoid

The benefits:

• Working one shoulder at a time allows for greater focus

• You have a lower risk for injury because there is a more natural range of motion compared to the barbell version

• The core needs to work harder to stabilize your body under an asymmetrical load

2. The Dumbbell floor press

What it works:

• Pecs and triceps

The benefits:

• Better tolerated for people with shoulder issues because you're able to use a neutral grip. Also, pressing on the floor limits the range of motion

• Pressing from the floor reduces extension at the shoulder joint

• Slight more focus on triceps while still providing a good training effect for the pecs and triceps

Throw one or both of them into your next upper body day. Try 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps.
