Dumbbells are known as a universal training tool. They can be seen everywhere at home, at work, in offices, and in travel and rest places. Because they are easy to carry, they are very popular among fitness buddies.


Fixed dumbbells are very convenient to use. During exercise, you can use them anytime and anywhere without adjusting the weight plates and retaining rings, and you don’t need fitness friends to record the weight gain in their minds, especially if you choose the wrong one. In addition to the weight, it can be adjusted quickly.



An adjustable-weight dumbbell is a valuable tool for strong growth. Although it is troublesome to use, it is a symbol of the king of strength in the strength training of bodybuilders. By adding and removing weights, friends can clearly understand their own. What kind of height the weight-bearing level reaches is conducive to grasping the weight of muscle growth and has obvious advantages in exercise training for growing strong muscles.


Choosing the right dumbbell weight is very important, and this step cannot be ignored. Different exercise activities, skill levels, and physical conditions require different dumbbells. Every time you use dumbbells, you should start with low weights and work your way up. Using heavy dumbbells in the first place can lead to strain or injury.


Determine the purpose of your weightlifting exercise.


Are you training to target a single muscle group? Or want to increase your stamina? Setting goals allows you to choose dumbbells more specifically. Heavier weights are great for building muscle, while lighter dumbbells are better for stabilizing muscles and supporting tendons and joints.


Generally speaking, the larger the muscle group, the heavier the dumbbell can be lifted. Work your biceps, triceps, and deltoids with small to medium dumbbells, and work your chest, legs, and back muscles with medium to large dumbbells.


Before and during dumbbell training, write down your goals. This way, you can stay focused and revise or adjust your goal after it has been achieved. For example, you could write: "You hope that within the next two months, you will be able to complete sets of 8 bicep curls using 16kg dumbbells."


Choose the right dumbbell weight for your exercise and skill level.


You should probably use different weights of dumbbells for different exercises. For example, you might be able to lift a 7kg dumbbell when doing basic curls. However, when doing squats with dumbbells, you can choose between 9 and 11 kg dumbbells. Likewise, if you're learning a new exercise, start with lighter weights and focus on getting the right form before adding weights.


Don't settle for a pair of dumbbells. Prepare several weights of dumbbells to meet the weight requirements of the various exercises you want to complete. For this, most beginners should have three pairs of dumbbells—light, medium, and heavy.


When learning any new exercise, start with lighter-weight dumbbells to learn proper form and movement essentials. After two to four weeks of regular practice, you can try this exercise with heavier dumbbells.


Take a private lesson or take a fitness class.


Find a qualified professional trainer to assess your strength and advise on the right dumbbell weight for you. Many gyms and fitness classes have such professional trainers who can give you instructions and show you how to do a specific exercise correctly. Don't be embarrassed, just tell the trainer that you just started working out with dumbbells and want to ask them which dumbbells are best for you.
