Tips for beginners using dumbbells
Here are a few key points for beginners using dumbbells:
Start with a lighter weight and concentrate on proper form and technique.
Gradually increase the weight of the dumbbells as you become more comfortable with the movements.
Start with simple exercises and progress to more complex movements as you go along.
Basic exercises to try: bicep curls, tricep extensions, lateral raises and bent-over rowing. If you'd like more details on how to perform certain basic exercises such as lateral raises, don't miss thearticle to find out more about this exercise specifically targeting your shoulder muscles.
Warm up and stretch before and after your workout to avoid injury.
Tips for advanced weightlifters
If you're an advanced gym-goer and want to use dumbbells in your workouts, here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dumbbells:
Perform a full range of movements to engage all the muscles involved in the exercise.
Try using different grip positions when using dumbbells to target different muscles and add variety to your workouts. For example, you can use a neutral grip (palms facing each other) for biceps flexions to target the outer part of the biceps, or you can use a pronated grip (palms facing the ground) for triceps extensions to target the long part of the triceps. What's more, if you're looking to intensify your workout and add more variety to your routine, consider investing in a bench for additional exercises. Benches can offer you a variety of options for working different muscle groups.
Vary your exercises to keep your workouts interesting and stimulating. For example, for the upper body, you can perform chest presses, shoulder presses and lateral raises.
Gradually increase your load; progressive overload: as you train and become stronger and more advanced, you'll need to take on heavier weights to continue to challenge your muscles and progress. However, always make sure you use correct form and avoid lifting weights that are too heavy for you.
What kind of dumbbells should I choose?
Hexagonal rubber dumbbell: This is the most common type of dumbbell. They are supplied with a fixed weight that cannot be adjusted. These hexagonal rubber dumbbells are available in a wide range of weights, from very light to very heavy, and are a good choice for people who want to work with a specific weight. The main advantage of fixed-weight dumbbells is their simplicity and affordability.
Neoprene-coated dumbbell: These dumbbells are generally used as an additional load to make training more intense and to challenge you. Neoprene dumbbells can be used in your yoga and Pilates classes, for rehabilitation, muscle strengthening, for beginners using light loads, abdominal training or high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
Rechargeable barbell: If you're just starting out in weight training, we recommend that you opt for rechargeable barbells. They allow you to perform several exercises with different loads by adding or removing weight plates. And not having to change dumbbells every 2 months!
The main advantage of rechargeable dumbbells is their versatility and the fact that they take up less space than a set of fixed-weight dumbbells.
Adjustable dumbbells: These dumbbells are similar to rechargeable dumbbells, but feature a weight selection mechanism that lets you quickly and easily change the weight of the dumbbells by turning a dial. Adjustable dumbbells are therefore very practical to use, and a good choice for people who want to move quickly from one weight to another during their workouts.
