Build strength and muscle with this 35 min upper body dumbbell workout targeting your chest, triceps, and abs. This hypertrophy focused routine uses a range of dumbbells to maximize results, especially if you progressively increase weight between the 1st and 2nd sets. For example, I started with 50 lb dumbbells for the iso hold chest press and increased to 55 lbs for the second set. If you don’t have multiple weights, use lighter dumbbells for abs, medium for triceps, and heavy for chest exercises.

A bench is optional but recommended for a greater range of motion and muscle activation. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, we’ve got modifications to suit your fitness level. Let’s pick up those weights, push hard, and get stronger together!

Save this video to a playlist and come back to this workout weekly, continuing to increase weight, if you want to get stronger over time! See below for more workout details
