Forget the gym — this trainer's 10-move dumbbell workout will build muscle in your back and biceps

Nothing beats the post-workout pump after training your back and biceps. And you don’t need a gym full of machines to achieve it, just a set of dumbbells will do the trick.

The 35-minute routine comes from trainer Mildred Sam-Otuh's YouTube channel. Having worked as a night shift nurse for six years, Sam-Otuh knows “time can be of the essence” and that not everyone has gym access or funds for coaching. As she explains in her YouTube bio, she created her platform to offer “different options and ideas when it comes to your fitness goals.”

One pair of dumbbells will do just fine, but having both a lighter and a heavier pair can be useful, with lighter weights for exercises like bicep curls and heavier ones for moves targeting the back. If you're planning to make home workouts a regular habit and enjoy using weights, it's worth looking into investing in a set of the best adjustable dumbbells.
