Dumbbell Workout Routine
Sample Strength Exercises Routines Using Dumbbells

Dumbbells are my favorite piece of equipment in the gym. They are the most convenient when building muscle mass. You can do compounding workout routines, muscle isolation techniques and alternating dumbbell workout routines. You can use them for warming up and for rigorous weight lifting routines as well.

What I have found out is that it is much harder to lift dumbbells with both hands at the same time. That is good because you challenge both sides of your body. You need to learn how to control each hand and you will train yourself in concentration which helps to build bigger muscles. You can actually lift more with barbells, so you will not look as tough when working out with dumbbells. But who cares! You are there to workout for yourself, not to show off in front of everybody.

Here are some exercises you can do with dumbbells:

Dumbbell Exercises For Legs:
Yes, you can have a great leg workout just by using dumbbells. The most known leg exercises are Squats, Lunges or Deadlifts. The limit in choices for the weight of the dumbbell means you have to compensate using perfect exercise procedures through slow and steady movements followed by a three second pause just when the muscle tightens. Aim for 8 – 12 reps and 2 to 3 sets before moving up in weight.

Dumbbell Chest Exercises:
Chest workout is probably my favorite routine to I really am looking for like a little kid waiting for a candy. All you need a set of dumbbells and flat bench that can be adjusted to incline or decline. Then you can perform all chest workout exercises including dumbbell flies, pullover, incline bench press, decline bench press, one arm rowing etc… You can get here more ideas to build muscles fast…

Dumbbell Shoulders Exercises:

Dumbbell Back Routines:
Grip your dumbbells and try bent over rows or deadlifts with straight legs.

Dumbbell Arm Workouts:
When exercises your arms with dumbbells, you want to get into your workout repertoaire dumbbell curls, concentration curls, hammer curls, triceps kickbacks, overhead triceps extensions and also some exercies for forearm by flexing your wrists while holding the dumbbell in your hand.
