Dumbbell chest and back session: 60 seconds on, 30 off, with presses, flyes, rows, pullovers and a renegade row finisher.
Caroline Girvan keeps it straight to the point: push and pull moves in different planes, some single-arm and some bodyweight towards the end, target the chest and back while the arms, shoulders and core are challenged too. Each exercise runs 60 seconds with 30 seconds of rest, and a chair for the rows is optional. The video runs about 37 minutes.

Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Lifters with dumbbells in a few weights and a mat who want a focused, no-frills chest and back session.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal without dumbbells or if your shoulders or wrists are sore, as presses, push-ups and renegade rows load them.
Key Benefits
Builds chest, back, arm and shoulder muscle with push and pull work, and the timer keeps the session structured.
Things to Keep in Mind
Choose weights you can handle for 60 seconds with good form, brace your core on push-ups and renegade rows and stop if your shoulders or wrists hurt.
