Dumbbell Workouts For Building Muscle Size And Strength

 

Here are a selection of dumbbell workouts for weight training. You can get a great full body workout with only a pair of dumbbells and if you own your own set you can even have a great workout in the comfort of your own home.dumbbell workouts

 

I like using dumbbells for a variety of reasons:

  • They are cheap and if you are training at home they are only really all you need to have a great workout.
  • Dumbbell workouts permit individualized and optimized alignment of joints which makes the exercises both safer and more effective. The movements are more natural to your body and decreases the chances of injuries.
  • When performing exercises such as presses you can get lower down with the weights getting a greater stretch from your workouts.
  • There is a huge variety of exercises to choose from and your whole body is covered.
  • Dumbbells also help work the stabilizing muscles which helps with total body development.
  • You don't need a spotter as much as you would with heavy barbell workouts.


The best thing about dumbbells is that a set of spin lock dumbbells and some weight will set you back around $30-50 for a basic set, you can perform lots of different exercises with these and when you out grow the weight you can just purchase more plates, which are usually sold in most good stores such as wal mart, tescos etc. And if you are using a gym then they usually have fixed weight dumbbells which are great for quickly changing the weight and doing dumbbell training such as running the rack and strip sets.
