If pull-ups aren't a favorite of yours or you simply don't have access to a pull-up bar, that's quite alright as there are plenty of other ways to build upper body strength. In fact, there are really simple ways to strengthen your upper body muscles, like this five move dumbbell and bodyweight routine.
The workout comes from James Stirling (also known as the London Fitness Guy on Instagram) and it only takes 30 minutes to complete. Stirling has mashed together a series of bodyweight and dumbbell moves for the arms, shoulders and back muscles to create a workout that's easy to do at home or the gym.
If you're using this routine at home, working with a pair of the best adjustable dumbbells will be especially handy as the routine includes moves that require both heavier and lighter dumbbells sizes.
