First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzfaq.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

@@omp365 That's an excellent idea. I personally started doing that for biceps hypertrophy. The one thing I would say is pay close attention to your form on EZ bar curls and do them as strict as possible. Cheat EZ bar curls are fairly useless IMO since the double hand position on the barbell makes it easy to turn the lift into a supinated clean. I like to stay in the 3 to 7 reps for heavy work and do my volume with 8 to 12 reps.
@carlosmorris4510 4 жыл бұрын
This could be because there's more flexibility with dumbbells; when using them the biceps are forced to work separately - there's no assistance from the other bicep as when you're performing barbell curls, for example... Strict, unassisted isolation of each bicep. Using a regular split, I've found in the past that I like to work them out this way; performing dumbbell curls first before performing (bicep assisted) barbell curls. A highly concentrated pump this way too. Once they've been targeted this way, anything can be used as a finisher - icing on the cake.

Dumbbells can be occasionally helpful. Take a dumbbell bench press for example, it allows you to go beyond the natural range of motion of a bench press - not only can you lower the weights further, but you can also bring your hands together at the top which increases the range of shoulder flexion
@AlexLeonidas 4 жыл бұрын
For sure they can be helpful, I wish I had a 120-150 set. That said I disagree that you get more range of motion, when you're lifting very heavy dumbbells they get bulkier which takes away from that effect.

The grip on the dumbbell can be unforgiving. I remember Brian Alsruhe saying that he prefers farmers walk handles over dumbbells as they are easier to grip.

Great points. The "exercise variation" aspect and its associated contribution to providing a novel training stimulus has never been unique and inherent to dumbbells. However, as you covered in other videos, we should note that the loading capacity of dumbbells is not comparable to barbell's and for long term strength/hypertrophy outcomes, we _have_ to include barbells (or some other form of more highly loadable apparatus). The same cannot be said for dumbbells, however.

Pretty much agree, it's for variation and keeping things fresh and new stimuli to adapt to. I have Ironmaster dumbbells in my homegym with 2" handle and 120lb expansion, there is another that can take them to 165. Don't really need that as I only use them for my accessory work outside of pullups (ohp, high pulls, alternating calf raises, farmers). Very much enjoy them and the grip strength I'm developing but probably would have gone with an olympic db handle if I had to do it over for cost benefit reasons.

I love dumbbells for the stabilizing factor. My barbell bench press is slightly stronger than my dumbbell press as I feel better balance with the bar. Barbell benching 275 is no problem, for 6-8. But damn when I pick up the 135's or 140's, balancing those betches can be tough and my stabilizers works work much harder. One thing though, I felt that as my dumbbell press got stronger, it carried over to my barbell press improving. It never occured the other way around. One thing which I did start doing is incline pressing with cables. I train mostly for hypertrophy so the tension is a must for me. It's so difficult especially as you get heavier.

This is very late, but for many of us, DBs just fit our bodies better because they allow us to change to a more natural grip angle for pressing movements. I got sick and tired of shoulder and elbow pain during BB BPs. Switching to DBs completely solved the problem. I press 100lb DBs now and have no intention of going heavier. The stretch is unreal! I progress by slowing the eccentric and shortening rest periods.

make sure you are still in caloric surplus bro. as u pack on muscle, your TDEE goes up as well. basically u have to eat more to maintain the same surplus
