Dumbbells according to Wikipedia, is a type of free weight, is a piece of equipment used in weight training. It can be used individually or in pairs, with one in each hand.
Here are a few of the benefits dumbbells provides: (H3)
- Builds and tones your triceps muscles
- Takes up very little space
- Relatively inexpensive
- Comes in a variety of weight sizes to fit all fitness levels
- Can be used to achieve a full-body workout
People always ask, which is better, Dumbbells or Barbells?
I tell them that it depends upon what your fitness goals are.
Dumbbells are great for isolation work, and a perfect example is performing Dumbbell Kickbacks, which allows you to focus on one triceps muscle at a time, which would be difficult to accomplish with a Barbell.
Although you can use dumbbells to perform heavy lifting, in my opinion it’s more safe when using Barbells, because if you get into trouble and is unable to make the lift, your other side can pitch in (especially if you don’t have a spotter).
Dumbbells forces the weak side of your body to handle its own weight being lifted, which in the long run will force it to become more equal in size, power, and strength.
If you’ve never used a pair of dumbbells before, don’t worry…
