I am a huge fan of free weights. I love using dumbbells and barbells while working out to maximize my time and my efficiency.

 

If you’re going to spend time and effort weight training there’s simply no more efficient way to do it.

 

By eliminating stability offered by different machines your muscles have to work harder to stabilize through certain motions and activities.

 

This results in more muscle activity and a more efficient workout overall (I actually wrote a post on this topic – check out Free Weights vs Machines).

 

Today wanted to share with you one of my favorite upper body dumbbell workouts that will work your arms, chest, shoulders, and back for an amazing, complete workout in no time.

 

So grab your set of dumbbells and we’ll get to work!
