20 Minute Arms Workout at Home with Dumbbells

what’s up has fit tribe it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak and I’m Claudia and this is a dumbbell arm workout today’s routine is going to use multiple muscle building techniques they require you to have at least two pairs of dumbbells you’re gonna want one heavier and one lighter pair so that you can switch up your weight as needed throughout today’s routine I will be providing some easier modifications if you’re ready to go then let’s get started [Music] we’re gonna get started with a bicep superset and we’re gonna do two rounds of it our first move is going to be a dumbbell curl and we’re gonna perform 12 repetitions so go ahead and grab the appropriate weight for you today and if your feet shoulder width apart shoulders are back good posture we’re gonna have your palms facing forward now in a controlled fashion go ahead and curl all the way up and all the way down performing 12 repetitions in total I really want you to also focus on controlling that descent that lowering portion of the lift is just as important as the way up especially in these strength training and muscle building routines making sure to breathe and we’re inhaling on the way down exhaling on the way up excellent we’re gonna burn these biceps out the superset here is just the first move shoulders stay back good posture three more almost don’t these twelve nice work here we go last two and last one all the way up and then now let’s come down until we get to those elbows 90 degrees and we’re gonna pulse right here at that 90-degree elbow flexion just little pulses for 15 seconds that’s it feel that burn already feeling it working on this first one and three two one now we’re gonna hold don’t move don’t drop those arms just hold in that position right there for 15 seconds we’re burning right there with you getting that lactic acid going not much longer five more seconds come on hold it top hold the tough three two one zero whoo way to get it started alright set those dumbbells down shake your arms out we’re gonna go through that sequence one more time 15-second break here so that break is gonna go by fast that was awesome that was good she liked it if you’re unable to control the movement up and down on the bicep curl you might be using a little bit too much weight feel free to mix it up if you need sense right wait if you need to here we go three two one begin palms are up on the way up and on the way down again nice and control definitely don’t want to be swinging to get the dumbbells up don’t want to use momentum on this one really want those muscles to work we don’t want your joints and cartilage ligaments tendons etc to all take over good and maintaining proper form proper posture you are halfway through that’s it come on stay tough every color we’re gonna feel a lot of lactic acid today that’s that burning sensation you gotta remember that’s just that fuel that your muscles are using and increase that nerve response that burn but you’re stronger than that burn you can push past it right here tomorrow there we go feeling good my arms are feeling great already last one all the way up and let’s bring them down to 90 right here boom 15 seconds hold it seconds on the pulse there it is come on good just little one to two inch range of motions trust Susie we’re smiling but our arms are burning to come on three two one hold that’s it whoo only two sets of these so this is it right here keep fighting everybody come on fight through that burner almost there it’ll be worth it go to your happy place four seconds almost there almost there three two one and break whoo excellent and for our next superset now it’s time to go after those triceps similar system to the first time we’re going to start with a lying tricep extension for 12 repetitions finding an appropriate weight down flat on our backs with our dumbbells and if you have a bench pull that out for the advantage or stability ball you could also use it for these we’re just using the floor today all right palms are facing inward and we’re gonna only bend at those elbows allowing the dumbbells to slowly come down if the elbows get to a 90 degree angle reverse direction and back up really isolating your triceps on this one and you’re hitting 12 repetitions again all the way up all the way down concentrating on controlling the move throughout really trying to eliminate that momentum and go back and forth between those biceps and triceps today well ones resting the others working in vice-versa halfway through that’s it keep pushing keep moving make sure to breathe in inhale on the way down exhale as you push up through the hardest part of the movement good good good keep it up everybody come on focus on what motivates you what brought you here today so it’s gonna get you through that burn all right here’s your last one right here and on the way up we’re gonna stop at that 90 degree angle and it’s time to pulse again like I said very similar to that first move if you need to change up your weight feel free to do so little 15-second pulses keep it up almost there almost there three two one and oh that’s it hoo-wee you see I’m shaking – that’s it keep those elbows Bend with that 90 flight through it come on we’re almost there ten more seconds guys come on you got it you got it don’t quit I quit four three two one break excellent all right we’re gonna go through that sequence one more time I choose a little bit too much weight on that one so I’m gonna mix it up and go a little bit lighter for my next one and if you need to do so feel free to mix it up you’ll see that anytime you need to make it heavier make it lighter just make this workout work for you and your fitness level all right we’re getting back into it next set here second and last one and five four three two one zero that’s it again palms stay facing inward making sure to breathe in and breathe out and yes this is gonna totally annihilate those triceps the back of you that’s on purpose that burning sensation that you’re feeling that’s how we know it’s working halfway point you gotta keep pushing through when it gets tough when the moves get tough you need to be tougher remind yourself of what brought you here today what was it that made you start this video start this workout hold on to it it’s what’s gonna get you through right here almost there and last one and let’s pulse it nice little pulses there we go keep it going thank you sure to breathe come on fighting through it fighting through it all right guys here we go in three two one and fold that’s it try your best to keep those elbows at a 90 right there with you has Fitch rhyme you can see me shaking come on let’s go don’t stop on a hurt stop when you’re done come finish strong kind of strong almost three two one break whoo felt that one nice work all right going back to those biceps we’re gonna do a reverse curl variation we have 20 repetitions in total so choose your weight appropriately make sure to use those legs to help pick up the dumbbells and feet shoulder-width apart this time our palms are gonna be facing us elbows are in glue to our sides those wrists nice and straight curl all the way up and all the way down then palms facing down elbows are in we have five repetitions of this variation again making sure to breathe staying under control excellent shoulders stay back we have the last one right here last one and then we’re gonna all the way down now we’re gonna go zero to 90 degrees times five that’s one two so until the lower arm gets parallel to the ground and then back

emotions hopefully one of them is a good pump no break for just another 5 seconds here and we’re gonna do this one more time let’s get it going notice I had to drop my weights from the last couple of sets that’s okay yeah adjusted accordingly elbows stay in and let’s hit it five repetitions nice full range of motion this one’s not only hitting your biceps but your forearms as well so if you’re doing a forearm and a grip burn that’s totally expected and okay and last one and all the way up all the way down and let’s go zero to ninety five times good try your best not to allow those elbows to flare out to the sides too much two more good let’s hit it last one and then 90 to 180 we’re burning right through with your hands fit try remember hundreds thousands maybe even millions of us at home
