7-Minute Home Dumbbell Bodybuilding Chest Workout

Blast Your Chest At Home With Some Dumbbells in Record Time!

By , About.com Guide

Sometimes I have very little time to get my bodybuilding workouts in, believe it or not. For cases when time is an extremely scarce resource I have developed mini bodybuilding routines that can be executed from the comfort of the home with only a pair of dumbbells. In this bodybuilding training article, I provide you with my 7-Minute Home Dumbbell Bodybuilding Chest Workout.



Home 7-Minute Dumbbell Chest Workout Routine

Tri-set:
  • Dumbbell Flat Flyes on Floor 2 sets of 10-12 reps (no rest)

  • Dumbbell Bench Press (Using the Same Weight as Used for Flyes) 2 sets to failure (no rest)

  • Pushups With Feet on Raised Surface (like a sofa for example) 2 sets to failure (1 min rest)


Chest Workout Notes:

1) Train the chest twice a week.

2) There are many workout splits that you can use in order to train your chest. For more information on different training splits please take a look below:

Bodybuilding Training Split #1:
Day 1: Chest, Biceps, Triceps

Day 2: Legs

Day 3: Back, Shoulders, Abs

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Start Over


Bodybuilding Training Split #2:

Day 1: Chest, Back, Abs

Day 2: Legs

Day 3: Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Start Over


Bodybuilding Training Split #3:

Day 1: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

Day 2: Legs

Day 3: Back, Biceps, Abs

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Start Over


3) If you have more time, you can add a third set to each of the chest exercises above. That would make the chest routine around 10 minutes in length.

4) If you only have 7 minute segments to train during the day, do not be afraid to split your routine up so that you can do your chest in the morning and the rest of the bodyparts throughout the day when you can squeeze them in.
