8 Best Dumbbell Exercises Ever (HIT EVERY MUSCLE!)

Build a ripped athletic body with just a few dumbbells
athleanx.com/x/perfect-home-wo...
Dumbbells are definitely one of the best form of workout equipment due to their ability to be used in small spaces and their high degree of athletic carryover. With their three dimensional freedom, dumbbells allow you to workout in all planes of motion and require a great deal of core strength and stability to use them properly. That said, choosing the best dumbbell exercises ever can be quite a challenge since there are so many to choose from. In this video, I picked the 8 best exercises with dumbbells and give you a reason why each has earned its spot.
To begin, lets take a look at the best dumbbell exercises. They are:
Dumbbell Curl and Press
Crush Grip Goblet Squats
Thrusters
Farmers Carries
One Arm DB Incline Bench Press
DB Pullovers
Swings
Tripod Dumbbell Rows
Each of these exercises require either just a single dumbbell or two dumbbells. They were chosen given their ability to work multiple muscle groups in one dumbbell only workout. The more muscles you can train in one workout the quicker your training session will be and the more impact you can have on your body in a shorter period of time.
Dumbbell only workouts can be incredibly challenging. In fact, some people think that you can’t effectively train your legs with db’s since you aren’t able to load up the weight high enough. That’s not true at all. You can choose exercises that you load with even 100lb dumbbells and perform on a single leg and you are sure to be pushing yourself to your limits.
The same can be said for dumbbell chest workouts and dumbbell back and arm workouts. The fact that you aren’t using a barbell does not sacrifice the quality or effectiveness of the training session. That said, you cannot continue to lift light dumbbells and think that you are going to get a great enough workout. Even if you are training at home, aim to lift the heaviest dumbbells that you can lift if you want to build muscle in your workouts.
If you are looking for a complete workout program that uses just a few dumbbells, a bench, a pullup bar and a resistance band then head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. By using equipment like dumbbells in your workouts, you’re training your body to move and look like an athlete.

Jeff, I am 71 and have been working out for 25 years. You have really turned me on to almost all dumbbells. I have had two rotator cuff surgeries in my left shoulder and one in my right shoulder. My last surgery was from not being lined up correctly on my weight machine for bench presses. With dumbbell on my weight machine bench, my shoulders can easily move to line up correctly. Also staying away from anything behind my head. You have given me some great what not to does. I go to you for everything. Thanks for the great knowledge. Jack

The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase.

Hi, Jeff! I'll be 68 yrs old in 2 months and am a survivor of 3 heart attacks. I've been doing cardio since Feb or March of this year at the hospital gym under supervision. A few weeks ago I started playing around with dumbbells and really love it! I'm starting out with light weights and lots of reps (3 sets of 20, decreasing the weight with each set) and doing just a few exercises. I've been viewing your videos for instructions for best results and, I gotta tell ya, Jeff, I'm seeing results after just 2 weeks of modest training! I will follow this program starting tomorrow (Tuesday, my scheduled time. And again on Thursday)! So much more rewarding than just cardio - though I warm up on the treadmill, first! Thanks again, Jeff!

Great list. And I love the thought of a 1-armed dumbbell press as a way to activate obliques. My minor quibble would be the curl and press combo since for most people, they're way out of sync. Folks can either military press more or curl more. This makes the lesser exercise the limiting, so the stronger exercise will lag. I'd just do them separately, especially since you've added the thrusters for the shoulders which will have you sucking wind in a big way. But that's just me. Also, for anyone wanting a super challenge, try the old-fashioned Turkish get-up. It doesn't make most lists for whatever reason, but I love it. It requires coordination, shoulder stability, hip flexibility, quads, core, etc. It's a rare exercise that I've seen intermediate lifters who see me doing it struggle with 10-pound dumbbells due to the coordination it takes. Even a big, strong fella like myself can barely manage 70-pounders for ten or twelve reps... and I've been doing the move for decades since my buddy, a trainer at Gold's Gym, taught me it.

2:50 “I don’t care how you do it, it’s all in the technique.” 😂 Great video, and that really cracked me up. Yogi Berra level talk there.

Awesome !! Thanks jeff

[@bromajik5183]

Beautiful video well done everything explained properly and it like how you didn't drag it on you made it very simple and complete

[@stuartniven2401]

Great Video!! I’ve been missing a lot of these compound exercises! Thanks!

[@toddconover2148]

I really like the farmers carry. I’m going to add that to my workout.

[@Detman101]

Thank you for this. Purchased my dumbbells this afternoon, started with the curl and presses tonight. I'm beat...lol. More tomorrow!

[@JustFollowJesus]

How's your progress? Did you keep it up? See any gains?

[@Detman101]

Adventist Bible Study YES!!! I workout with my 25lb dumbbells every morning. 15 bicep curls, 20 lifts from waist to over the head, 20 situps with dumbbells curled to my chest, 20 pulls on each arm to workout my back (for archery), 20 chest presses from on my back. I'm seeing MUCH more definition, bulk and capability when out in the woods and on the archery range. I'm looking forward to greater gains once I get my food intake in order...I hate eating a lot.

[@JustFollowJesus]

+Detman101 man that's great to hear! Yesterday was my first session with these dumbbell exercises (plus bench and tricep push downs at my apt gym). I do a little archery myself with a recurve, good to hear it helps. Keep it up :-)

[@Detman101]

Adventist Bible Study Right on!!

[@Detman101]

***** Thank you, I'll take that advice to heart and modify my workout plan!

Train your grip strength

I've been performing this routine for almost 2 months now, after determining that I must be on the "fatish" side of "skinny fat": good BMI but still quite flabby. In this time I've seen noticeable improvements and I'm stoked about the future. It really does work. Thanks for posting this, as it was just what a noob like me needed.

[@achangedman2723]

How many reps/ sets and how many times a day? I'm interested in this and was curious about creating a routine. Thanks

[@primaltone]

@@achangedman2723 I do 3 times per week, once per day, and I split it into 3 "circuits". I repeat each circuit 3X before moving to the next, with about a 2 minute break b/w circuits. My routine looks like this: Circuit 1: Dumbbell Curl and Press, Crush Grip Goblet Squat, Dumbbell Pullover Circuit 2: Dumbbell Thruster, Farmers Carry, Arm Inclined Bench Circuit 3: Kettle bell Swing, Dumbell Tripod Row I have no idea if my routine is anywhere near optimal, but it does work. It's helped out my pushups immensely. I took a 1 month break on this routine and focused on pushups and planks, but I did 146 pushups today via 6 sets. Best I was doing this time last year was ~40 in a day. I took a break due to overextending and getting some elbow muscle fatigue. Jeff does a great video on how to prevent this, and I intend take greater care to prevent this when I start back, perhaps next week. Another key I've followed is to indeed exercise to fatigue. I shoot for ~10 reps per exercise, but if I can do 13, I increase the weight next time, shooting for 8-10 reps per set. Again, I am a complete noob, but it's worked for me.

[@achangedman2723]

@@primaltone hell yeah man. Thanks for all the info I really appreciate it. And keep up your great work. Sounds like you're nailing it to me. 👍
