The Best Upper  Body Exercises

The upper body is composed of four major muscle groups.

CHEST  DELTOIDS Upper Back Arms

The Face Pull

You were probably expecting a different exercise to be first. The face pull is first because of its importance in maintaining healthy shoulders and good posture.

The Barbell Row

The vast majority of people have very weak rhomboids, posterior shoulders, and middle trapezius relative to the other muscles in the upper body. This is something that you need to address as early as possible to decrease injury risk in the future.

The Paused Bench Press

Instead of bouncing the bar off your chest (or doing a ‘touch and go’ method), pause the bar on your chest motionless for at least 1 second before pressing the weight back up.

The Overhead Press

There are very few exercises that are more difficult than the good ole overhead press. This exercise requires several things: good overhead mobility, strong shoulders, and a willingness to not give up.
