To avoid getting hurt, you need to strengthen your upper body. Here are the seven best workouts to help you do that.
1.Dumbbell Pullover
The pectoralis, latissimus dorsi (also called “lats”), and triceps long head are the key muscles that the dumbbell pullover works. It is the best way to build power in the chest and upper back. At the end range of the movement, both of these muscles are stretched very far.
2.Dumbbell Skull Crusher
By extending the arm, the dumbbell skull crusher works all three heads of the triceps. Because it is done with the arms overhead, it is also a very important exercise for building shoulder strength and stability in the overhead position.
3.Tricep Dumbbell Kickback
By extending the arm, the triceps dumbbell kickback works all three heads of the triceps. Along with an overhead tricep exercise, this exercise is often included in workout plans to help build tricep power in a variety of positions.
4.Dumbbell Bench Press
The dumbbell bench press is one of the best ways to build up your forearms, anterior deltoids, and pecs major and minor. A lot of people use it as their major exercise on days they work out their upper body or chest, shoulders, and triceps.
5.Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
The dumbbell bench press and the slope dumbbell bench press both work the same muscles. The incline form, on the other hand, is more likely to work the upper pectoral fibers and triceps.
This exercise is also often one of the main moves in workouts for the upper body or for chest, shoulder, and triceps. As an extra move, it can also be used to add volume to strength and hypertrophy routines.
6.Decline Dumbbell Bench Press
The lower pecs, triceps, and anterior shoulder get more work with the decline dumbbell bench press. Adding this to your routine along with other variations on the bench press position can help you get a well-defined chest.
7.Dumbbell Close-Grip Press
The dumbbell close-grip press is a twist on the bench press that works the triceps more than the other muscles. Also working are the pecs and the front of the shoulders.
