45 MIN UPPER BODY SCULPT | Build Muscle & Define Your Shoulders, Chest & Arms

Ready to build a stronger, more defined upper body? This 45-MINUTE UPPER BODY DUMBBELL WORKOUT targets your SHOULDERS, CHEST, BICEPS, and the rest of your upper body to help you build lean muscle, increase strength, and develop a strong, athletic physique. This workout includes 5 circuits, with 3 rounds of each circuit. You’ll combine compound strength exercises, dumbbell presses, fly variations, shoulder raises, and arm exercises to challenge your muscles from different angles. DON’T BE AFRAID TO GO HEAVIER! Choose weights that challenge you while allowing you to maintain proper form and control. If the dumbbells feel too light and you can easily complete every rep, consider going heavier. Strength training is about progressively challenging your muscles, not just completing the movements. The weights listed below are the weights I use for reference. Choose the dumbbells that are appropriate for your current strength and fitness level.
