6 Dumbbell Exercises for Toned Upper Body

By Dennis Heenan September 19, 2017

For a long time, my upper body strength was a big weakness for me. I was under the impression that I would never be strong or have a toned upper body.

Until one day…Enough was enough.

I remember it was in a particular workout that I was doing with Dennis and some of his friends.

I finished dead last because I couldn’t do a lot of the strength exercises.Over the next several months, STRENGTH became a focus of mine.After just a few weeks of focusing on getting stronger, I started seeing major progress and changes.

It was amazing!

Now, gaining strength is always a focus in my workouts. And it should be in yours too.

(and don’t worry, you will NOT get bulky)So today, I wanted to share 6 dumbbell exercises (and variations) that will help you gain strength, build lean muscle, and tone your upper body…

The Exercises You’ll See:

1a) Side Shoulder Raises
1b) Diagonal Shoulder Raises
1c) Front Shoulder Raises
2) Dumbbell Overhead Press
3a) Bicep Curls
3b) Hammer Bicep Curls
