The Best Dumbbell Exercises for Your Arms
I’ve always had a thing for working my arms. For some reason, they’ve always just been the most responsive to strength training. My friend Sam jokes that she never sees in me in sleeves. She’s not wrong — I do love to show off my arms. Everybody’s got their thing, right?
With so much equipment out there, and new stuff being added all the time, dumbbells (here are our fave ones to use) are still the perfect tool to build your bi’s and tri’s. So here we go again, finding new purpose for an old favorite — this time we’re using them to boost them guns.
The Best Dumbbell Exercises for Your Arms
If you, like me, prefer working with a barbell on your heavy strength days, you may be limiting yourself without knowing it. When both of your arms share the load by holding one barbell, your stronger arm (and we all have one) will do more of the work. However, when you force them to do an equal amount of weight by evenly distributing the load among your two arms — well, that’s where the real magic happens.
Additionally, we use our arms to do a lot. And rarely are those tasks done from the same fixed arm/wrist position. And that’s where dumbbells really excel — multiple hand position and angle options hit the muscle fibers from all angles. It’s functional strength at its finest.
Dumbbells also provide the extra credit of working your grip and forearm strength — and being able to open jars that other people can’t budge is a real bonus!
Here are my picks for how to get the best bang for your buck outta those dumbbells when working your arms.

Awsome workouts. Thanks for sharing
Nice Info very healpfull
Nice!!! Exercise daily for at least an hour. You do not have to kill yourself from running, jogging, etc., but you should have some sort of moderate physical activity in your everyday life. If you’re looking to shed a few pounds fast, do a higher-level intensity workout.
Can a women begin with 5kg dumbbell?
Great share!! Dumbbells are often used for joint-isolation exercises such as biceps curls, chest flyes or shoulder raises. Using dumbbells for full-body, multiplanar movements, however, can provide a variety of different strength outcomes. It also offers many benefits for cardiorespiratory fitness and flexibility. It also helps in losing weight instantly. After my workout, I prefer to have xtremeno supplement because it is natural and does not cause any harm to the body. It’s a must try for every individual.
Healthy eating is very important and essential for our body. In addition, other harmful ingredients such as preservatives and trans fats make these foods even more damaging to the human body. Some of the most unhealthy foods in the world include high-sugar cereals, sugary coffee drinks, canned soup, margarine, soda, processed lunch meats, ice cream and frozen french fries. Also, prefer to use good supplement after the workout in order to increase hgh for bodybuilding.
Great explanation. The best exercise to keep strong your arms.
