Today’s Workout 130: The dumbbell-only circuit to pump up your pecs

If you want the kind of perfectly carved chest that’s going to turn heads at the beach or stand out in a sweater, you’ll need to do two things: get rid of any excess fat and start building lean muscle.

This simple, 30-minute circuit will help you do just that.

Attack back-to-back rounds of dumbbell pressouts, alternating dumbbell chest presses, and mini plyo pushups to work every part of your chest, incinerating old flab and forging solid mass in the process.

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for five to 10 rounds.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest periods between circuits. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
