if you could only do 2 exercises for your upper-body what would they be?

_bruce_ · « **Reply #1 on:** July 11, 2008, 04:42:41 AM »

chinups, shoulderpresses

Beefjake · « **Reply #2 on:** July 11, 2008, 04:50:54 AM »

Weighed dips and chins

1. Deadlifts - without straps to involve bis and forearms more, also hits hams

2. Dumbell / Benchpress - hits the chest directly and tris and delts indirectly

If you're short on time that should cover it pretty well, also add squats for legs and you got almost everything hit with only 3 exercises.

1) DB pullover and press

2) Rack cleans and press.

Very close second two best for me:

3) Dips..weighted

4) Chins...hammer medium grip...weighted.

Feel free to fill in: Gayer than .......................?

Good Luck.

Incline Barbell Press and Dumbell Shoulder Presses.

Actually, I've changed my mind - swap the dumbells for barbell rows.

deadlifts count as upper-body?

me, i'd say bench and rows. pick a variant, it's all good.
