You only need 25 minutes and a set of dumbbells to build upper body muscle

You might think you need to spend hours on bicep curls at the gym to build upper body muscle. Fortunately, that’s not the case, as you can use this 25-minute workout to strengthen your arms, chest, and shoulders, and all you need is a set of dumbbells.

If you’re working out at home, it’s worth picking up a set of the best adjustable dumbbells (opens in new tab). These customizable weights combine several dumbbells in one, and you can quickly change the load, even mid-workout, so you can train using the progressive overload (opens in new tab) technique.

When you’re at the gym and wondering what dumbbell weight should you use (opens in new tab), it’s important to choose a load that’ll challenge your muscles to get through a set but won’t affect your form. Then you’ll be ready to take on YouTube fitness duo Tiff x Dan’s (opens in new tab) 25-minute routine.

There are five sets of five moves, with each set targeting either your shoulders, chest, biceps, or triceps. You’ll do each move for 40 seconds, take a 20-second rest, then start on the next exercise. Plus, there’s a multi-muscle push-up finisher to close out the routine.

To get the most from your training and avoid injury, a particular concern when exercising with weights, you’ll need to pay close attention to your form. Handily, Dan demonstrates each of the moves, so you can follow along and perfect your technique as you go.
