Description: Gym Upper Body

Keep your core tight and don’t slouch, this will improve your overall performance of this exercise and avoid injury.

Count biceps curl to overhead press as one rep.

Bicep Curl To Overhead Press

When lifting dumbbells, the elbows should be slightly bent, so the load is removed from the elbow joints.

Try not to swing the body, lift the weight with the force of the pectoral muscles rather than using momentum. 

1 Raise = 1 Rep

DB Underhand Chest Raises

Use lighter weight - this exercise requires you to move your triceps through a full range of motion to work them properly, and going too heavy makes this difficult and increases your risk of a muscle injury.

DB Overheard Tricep Extension

Squeeze your shoulder blades. Doing so will prevent you from doing the row with a rounded upper back, and it'll help protect your shoulders in the long term.

Pull with your back - it’s easy to over involve your biceps.

DB Row

Keep your arms fully extended and triceps locked. 

The key to executing the dumbbell pullover correctly is to keep your low back in contact with the bench throughout the whole exercise.

DB Pullover To Extension

Keep your core tucked in and stable during this exercise, your lower back should be naturally arched.

Your arms should be fully extended at all times when performing movements.
