Home Exercise For Building Your Upper Body Strength

Strength training is a very important aspect of any fitness program. To achieve an all round healthy and fit body you need to combine strength training and cardio aerobic exercises for maximum power, stamina and flexibility.

When it comes to strength training you should also combine exercises that will work the upper and lower body. If you target one or two muscle groups other muscles will be under used and this will create imbalances in the body. Therefore, to ensure that you achieve a strong well proportioned body you need to do a number of strength exercises that work different muscle groups. For example when you do pushing style exercises they work completely different muscles groups that pulling exercises target. Therefore, if you do a session of pull-ups you should also do a session of press-ups to balance the workout.

The great benefit of strength training is that you need little to no equipment to do it. You also do not need to go to an expensive gym to do them either as they can be performed in the comfort of your own home. There are many different strength exercises that you can do to target the upper and lower body. For this article I am going to focus on a simple but effective upper body exercise that you can do at home or in the gym.

The Chair Dip

All you need is a chair or bench. Make sure the chair is sturdy enough to take your own weight. Sit on the edge of the chair and straighten out your legs directly in front of you. Grab the edge of the chair securely and point your fingers forward. Your arms should be shoulder width apart. Move your bottom off the edge of the chair or bench. Lower yourself down towards the floor as you bend your elbows. Stop when your bent elbows are at a right angle. At this point pause for a second and then raise yourself up and repeat the motion.

Before any form of exercise ensure you do an adequate warm up session and then a stretching routine. If you have a medical condition or you are recovering from an injury then, it is advisable to speak to either a doctor or physician for advice before undertaking any new form of physical exercise or fitness program.

Exercises for upper body muscle building

-Upper Body Muscle Building – Chest Area:
The first exercise for upper body muscle building will be the bench press. You can choose to do it with an incline bench or with a flat bench. The bench press is an excellent upper body muscle building exercise as it not only targets the chest, but also your shoulders and triceps.

I recommend that you do bench press for one week and the next week work with dumbbells to switch your exercises up and keep them exciting.

Another great exercise for your chest is the flyer exercise. Grab two dumbbells and with them straight over your head, slowly lower your hands to side of your body and push them back up again.

-Upper Body Muscle Building – Back Area:
For the back upper body muscle building you can do the dead lift. The dead lift exercise is great for building core mass, but it should be performed correctly.

Another effective exercise when focusing on the back is the seated row. Sit on the seated row bench and keep your elbows close to your body and sit in a 90 degree angle and pull it towards you.

-Upper Body Muscle Building – Arms:
The first exercise for arm upper body muscle building will be for your biceps. It is the incline dumbbell curls. Sit on an incline bench and with your elbows firm and back, curl your biceps in a slow movement and return to the starting position.

You can also make use of the pull up bar for your biceps upper body muscle building. Grab the bar and pull yourself up in a slow motion and return.

The following upper body muscle building exercise for your triceps is a great muscle builder. Lie on a bench and take a close grip on the bar and perform the same motion as with the bench press for your chest workout.

You can also use the dip bar for the triceps upper body muscle building.
