Trainitright Upper Body Workout - Give it a Try!
The weight should be heavy enough that the rep range is challenging, but you are not hitting failure.
Seated DB Military Press
Setup: Sit tall on the end of a flat bench, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Hold the weights above your shoulders so elbows are at 90 degrees and slightly in front of you, palms facing out.
Action: Extend your arms to press the weights straight overhead. Lower back down with control and repeat.
Split Stance One-Armed Row
Setup: Hold a dumbbell in one hand and place the opposite hand on a bench for support. Stand with one foot forward and the other back with knees slightly bent.

DB Low-Incline Bench Press
