There are so many exercises you can do to train your upper body, but if you\u2019re a bit bored with the standard biceps curl<\/a>, bench press<\/a> and bent-over row<\/a>, I\u2019ve found some effective alternatives you can try.<\/p>\n

Personal trainer and manager of Bay Club Portland,<\/a> Zack Dzingle shared his top three upper body exercises with Fit&Well\u2014moves that he incorporates into his own workouts and uses with clients to build strength and muscle.<\/p>\n

You will need equipment for this three-move workout, and you may need access to a gym or a park with suitable bars and boxes, or a bench you can use.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t suitable for beginners, so if you\u2019re looking for something a little less advanced, or something you can do at home, try these four equipment-free exercises for upper body strength<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n

Dzingle has chosen scalable exercises that you can make harder as you get stronger. As well as simply adding sets or reps, Dzingle has recommended some modifications you can make so the exercises become tougher or easier\u2014 to suit your fitness level.<\/p>\n
