A top fitness coach shares his 30 minute chest and back workout for building muscle

As we all know, December can be hectic for many of us, but you’ll be pleased to know that building muscle in your chest and back doesn’t require hours in the gym, or an overlay complicated routine. In a recent YouTube video, renowned Strength and Conditioning Coach, Jeff Cavaliere, has shared a 30-minute workout that won’t just help you build muscle in minimal time, but it’ll also leave you feeling gassed too, giving your cardiovascular system a little boost.

The entire workout takes just 30 minutes, including the warm-up, with Cavaliere breaking down the exact timings in the video. Instead of training chest and back separately, the workout pairs antagonistic (opposing) muscle groups. That means while your chest recovers, you’re working your back – allowing you to get more done in less time without sacrificing results. It's best performed at the gym, unless you have access to a set of dumbbells and some resistance bands, then you can do it at home.
