There are lots of options when it comes to what weight you can build muscle with. Some people like to mix it up with different resistance machines and weights at the gym meanwhile others keep it simple and will use one of the best adjustable dumbbells to resistance train at home without using up lots of space.

For this upper body routine led by fitness trainer and co-founder of the EvolveYou workout app, Krissy Cela, a barbell and some dumbbells are required. In the dumbbells vs barbells debate, both are great pieces of strength-building equipment and which you choose will depend on what your goal is.

When it comes to training the upper body, dumbbells suit a range of chest, shoulder, arm, and back exercises. Fortunately, you can easily complete this full routine from Cela using just a set of dumbbells.

You will be working with sets of repetitions for all six exercises so make sure you allocate rest periods between each set. When you give yourself breaks between sets it helps your muscles to keep up good levels of force production ahead of the next round of reps.
