If I go online right now I could find about a thousand different methods of developing a stronger upper body. How are you supposed to weed through all that to find the right one for you? I’ll tell you now that it’s fairly easy, it just requires a little time and investigation. Here you’ll find some comprehensive information on a workout that works for most everyone.

The first thing you need to do is create a sort of schedule of events. Design a rotation and routine that fits your schedule and your ability. Take note if you have any injuries that may hinder you from doing certain exercises and adjust your workout to meet your needs. Once you have set your schedule up you’ll be on your way. As a suggestion, focus on two areas a day alternating between them and allowing a day of rest. For example, on day one you could target your chest and back; day two your arms and shoulders; day three your abs and cardio; and on the fourth day you rest. A day of rest is necessary to allow the body to heal so that you can start the cycle over again then next day.

Some ideas for your chest and back workout could be the sitting chest fly, standing fly, and the chest dip. It’s best to avoid any exercises that work your arms more than your chest as you’re going to address those areas on another day. Stick to more focused exercises that are strictly designed to work the chest out. The same goes for your back, arms, shoulders, etc. Work those areas hard knowing you’ll have rest days in between. Take advantage of the in between time to eat a healthy regiment of food and getting plenty of good, deep sleep to help your body repair from the week’s efforts. Ask the advice of a trainer of or experienced friend to get the best upper body workout design for your body that you can.
