While barbells and gymnastics moves are a big reason CrossFitters' arms look so strong and defined, dumbbells are just as important. This dumbbell workout incorporates five dumbbell moves to target the biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, and upper back. CrossFit coach Sefton Hirsch of Champlain Valley CrossFit told POPSUGAR, "This was quite the shoulder smoker." And by that, he means your arms will be sore for days - that's just the kind of workout we love!
Be sure to choose a dumbbell weight that's challenging. Since this workout is just three rounds (and will take you about eight to nine minutes), you want to make those reps count!
