The barbell chest press is one of the most popular exercise for building pumped up pecs. But if you don’t have access to thebest barbell, this doesn’t mean training your chest is off limits. While apair of dumbbellsis also a great alternative, using just your bodyweight is more than sufficient for helping you build a stronger chest, which is exactly what this five minute AMRAP workout intends to do.

AMRAP stands for ‘as many reps/rounds as possible’, where you sequence of exercises and have to try and complete as many reps/or rounds of those exercises in a set time frame. It’s not only great when you’re pushed for time, but increasing strength and muscle endurance, as well as your aerobic capacity. “I have prescribed the below home routine to a lot of my clients and it will give you a great chest ‘pump’, a burst of adrenaline, and get your heart racing,” says Aroosha Nekonman, Senior Personal Trainer atUltimate Performance.
