Improve Your Profile with Upper Body Exercise 
 
by Amy Hunter May 19, 2005

Back

  • Bent Row

    Stand, leaning forward, arms hanging in front of body at knee level. Holding either a barbell or dumbbells, pull weight up toward chest with your elbows out to the side, lower slowly and with control.

  • Rear fly

    You will definitely need dumbbells for this one. Stand in the same bent position as for the bent row, dumbbell in each hand. Raise each hand out to the side, ending with your hand even with your ear, arms straight. On the lifting motion of this exercise, imagine pinching your shoulder blades together. Lower slowly.

Triceps

  • Triceps Dip

    Sit on the floor, legs straight out in front of you, and your hands behind you on a bench, chair or other elevated surface. Raise your bottom from the ground so that your body forms a diagonal line from your shoulders to your toes. Lower your body slowly to the floor, and then raise back up.

  • Triceps Kickback

    Stand with a dumbbell in your left hand, bend over slightly, resting your right hand on a chair or table. Extend your left hand behind you, bending from the elbow. Do all your repetitions with your left arm before switching to your right arm.

Biceps

  • Biceps Curls

    Stand with your palms up, holding either dumbbells or a barbell. Slowly bend elbows, raising your palms toward your chest, and then lower slowly.

  • Hammer Curl

    This is basically the same exercise as the biceps curl, although you will need dumbbells for it. Do the same exercise, except start the exercise with your palms facing each other, and as you raise the weight gradually rotate the palms until they are facing up. This exercise also works the forearms as well as the biceps.
