Dumbbell Chest Workout at Home
Dumbbell chest exercises target and strengthen the chest muscles by incorporating a set of dumbbells into specific movement patterns. Your chest contains multiple muscle groups including the pectorals (pecs), deltoids (delts), and serratus anterior. The pecs, a muscle group in the upper chest, are made up of the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. The delts are the muscles on the top of the shoulders that connect to the chest. The serratus anterior is located on the inside of the chest wall.
The best chest exercises increase activation of each of these muscle groups to build upper-body strength. Dumbbell chest workouts have a lower impact on the shoulder blades than barbell bench presses. This makes them an effective method for building muscle in the chest without causing or exacerbating shoulder pain.
