How do I train with dumbbells and which exercises are suitable for training with dumbbells?

Training with the dumbbell promotes your body stability and is demanding in terms of coordination. Your torso serves as an anchor in strength training during exercises with free weights and has to do a lot of holding work. With the dumbbells you train not only your biceps but also your triceps, the lateral back muscles and your chest. Depending on the type of movement, the number of repetitions, the weight and your endurance, you can make your training with dumbbells even more effective.

One of the most popular dumbbell exercises is the hammer curl with dumbbell. Stand in a stable position. Your arms are slightly in front of your body with the dumbbells, palms facing forward. Now bring the dumbbells to your shoulders by bending your elbows. Hold briefly and lower arms again. This dumbbell exercise actively trains the biceps and arm flexors.

Start your dumbbell training with different exercises and small weight plates. Increase the number of weight plates as well as the number of exercises and executions from workout to workout.

Buying dumbbells: Which weights and dumbbell sets do you need?

Dumbbells: Which weight for beginners?

Depending on your fitness level, you can start your dumbbell training with more or less weight. To prevent injuries and to keep your motivation high, we recommend that beginners start their dumbbell training with a low weight per weight plate and per exercise. Increase from workout to workout with the number of weights on your barbell and the number of exercises with the barbell. It is important that you always perform the exercises in a controlled manner - quality before quantity!

What kind of fasteners are there for dumbbells?

The weights of a dumbbell are fixed to the barbell rod either by means of a star lock or a tension lock. The ends of the dumbbell bar with a star lock are a thread onto which the weight plates are turned into a star shape with the supplied twist lock. This type of lock is very popular especially for strength training with dumbbells in the home gym. With professional dumbbell bars, the weights are securely fixed with tension locks.

Which dumbbell weight for women?
