In a world where everyone is looking for a perfect workout plan, it’s important to stay on top of your progress.
With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of some of the best dumbbell sets you can do at the gym.
Here are our top tips for getting the most bang for your buck.
1.
Get to the gym early The average gym session lasts about 20 minutes, so it’s good to make sure you arrive at the building before the start of the session.
It’s a good idea to get to the office and get your computer setup so that you can get into the gym and start working.
If you’re a little bit more time-conscious, try to arrive at least 15 minutes early for your first workout.
This way you can spend less time at the office during your workout and more time on the mat, where you’ll have more time to work on your core.
2.
Use a dumbbell for each exercise Once you’ve set your mind to getting to the max, start doing the exercises.
Start with the core, then work your way up to the other arm.
Make sure you get the exercise in and out of the hips as quickly as possible.
Don’t be afraid to try to push your arms a little farther forward for the upper back and neck movements.
Make the exercises as simple as possible, because the more reps you can complete, the more your muscles will be primed to work.
If your goal is to develop good hip and knee mobility, work the abs first and the core last.
If that’s not possible, you can try to start with the lower back, working your way from the lower triceps to the deltoids, then slowly work your upper back, from the abs to the glutes.
3.
Choose a strength exercise If you can’t get to a gym, make sure to choose one of the strength exercises that you want to use as your starting point.
The one you decide on will depend on what exercises you’re going to be doing in your routine.
If it’s just a dumb-bell curl, make a full-body dumbbell push-up.
If its just a chest press, do a front squats or triceps extension.
It doesn’t have to be a particular exercise, but the more you can achieve, the better your progress will be. 4.
Focus on one exercise for each muscle group When you’re first starting out, it might be easier to start by doing just one exercise, because you can work on each muscle by focusing on one movement.
But if you’re struggling with one muscle group, make some changes to your routine to focus on the rest of the body.
For example, if you are having trouble with the abs, try working on the biceps.
Or if you have trouble with your glutes, try going with the triceps extensions.
When you get to more advanced exercises, like the barbell curl or deadlifts, it may be a good time to go with a strength movement, which will help you focus on one specific muscle group.
If doing the dumbbell curl is too difficult, try doing a full body push-ups or tricep curls instead.
5.
Use your dumb-bills for strength training Once you get into a groove, you’ll want to move onto other exercises.
For most people, the dumb-bars work for all the core muscles, and the bench press and dumbbell curls are good for the gluteals.
When it comes to the dumb exercises, the one you choose will depend a lot on how you feel after doing them.
If working out on the bench is more your thing, try the dumb bar rows.
But for some people, they might prefer to do dumbbell chin-ups, which can help them increase their gluteal strength.
If not, there’s always the bar chest press.
It should only be done if you can reach a plateau and can no longer do the exercise.
6.
Use dumbbell extensions and dumb-bar rows as a strength program After you’ve started working on your dumb exercises and working on other strength-related muscle groups, you might be thinking, “Okay, I can’t do all of my strength work at once, but I can do some of it with dumb-dumb-bar-rows.”
You could do this with the dumbbar rows and dumbbar extensions, or you can go with the bench presses and dumb bar curls as a whole.
It depends on your goals.
For some people it’s okay to use dumbbell presses as a main strength-building exercise, and others don’t.
However, it should be your main exercise program for the entire week.
If one of your muscles is weak, you could try working with dumbbell squats, but if your other muscles are strong, the bench or barbell rows can be used to strengthen your shoulders and delts.
For those with weaker back muscles, they
