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.

Make sure that you do not workout the same muscles two days in a row. Your muscles need a day to rest and repair. You can split up the areas that you workout if you want. For example, one day you could work on your biceps and triceps, then the next day you could work on your back and chest.

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.

The next day when you work on your shoulders, biceps and triceps, you may want to consider doing shrugs, a seated dumbbell press, side lateral raises and alternate front dumbbell raises for your shoulders.

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 last part of your upper Bodybuilding workout is your triceps. For your triceps you can do standing cable press downs, triceps bench dips, overhead rope extensions 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. - 17273
