Caroline Girvan | 20 Minute Dumbbell Upper Body Circuit Workout | Caroline Girvan @CarolineGirvan | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Just over 20 minutes. Back. Shoulders. Chest. Arms… all worked but in a very slow and controlled format.
This is a PERFECT upper body session to save for those days when you just want to work hard for that shorter duration!
All you will need for this upper body workout is some dumbbells and your mat!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 15kg! However I reduce to 9kg each for the SHOULDER PRESS & ARNOLD PRESS!
The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds rest for most of the exercises within the circuit, however the PULLOVER will be performed for 1 minute duration and 10 seconds rest before the next exercise, being the SHOULDER PRESS!
We perform this circuit 3 times then we have the finisher!
BENT OVER ROW
CHEST PRESS
PULLOVER *1 MINUTE
SHOULDER PRESS
PUSH UPS
ARNOLD PRESS
FINISHER!
40/20/40
DEADSTOP PUSH UPS!
DIAGONAL DIAMOND PRESS
DEADSTOP PUSH UPS!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
You will notice there are no arm specific exercises however these are compound movements so the biceps and triceps are involved during the back, shoulder and chest exercises.
If you have been training with me for awhile, you will have noticed I don’t train arms that often as you may think. Infact I have gained strength and muscle in triceps and biceps mostly from rows, presses and push up variations!
20 minutes. Upper body. Done!
