Arm Workout With Dumbbells

When it comes to your arms, you don’t need to much weight to get a good workout in!

In fact, even bodyweight exercises can build and sculpt your arms.

However, while your triceps and chest can be worked via push-ups and other “push” movements without weights, your biceps and back respond better to “pull” movements with resistance.

The exercises in this workout can be performed with a set of dumbbells or a set of resistance bands.

I myself filmed a video where I performed this workout with resistance bands and it left me sore for 3 days!

Also, keep in mind what kind of goals you have for this workout.

Want to build strength? Use a heavier weight and do fewer reps of each exercise, slowly progressing to more weight when you no longer feel challenged.

Want to work on muscular endurance? Use a lighter weight and do more reps.
