Need another exercise for those gallon jugs? Try the overhead dumbbbell press. I love the definition these helped me develop in my shoulders and chest as well as my arms – I’d never seen this on my body before, and I was excited to finally have it.

Again, if you can only do a couple of these without experiencing pain, that’s okay – the name of the game is to allow your body to build muscle to adapt to the exercise, thus making it easier, thus allowing you to add more to your routine!
