Anyone who’s spent time in the weights room will know their way around an upper-body workout and will have enjoyed the benefits that come from training your top half. We’re talking increased muscle mass, better mobility and, of course, carrying heavy bags of groceries with ease.
One of the most popular ways to structure training your upper body is a push/pull workout, which targets the muscles worked when you push (chest, shoulders and triceps) and pull (back and biceps). You can dedicate an entire session to each movement pattern, as with this push workout and this pull workout, or you can combine the two into one all-round upper-body strengthening workout, like the one below, put together by fitness trainer Cameron Ahouse.
