Are men's fitness dumbbells effective?

Dumbbells are a type of exercise equipment used to strengthen the body. Nowadays, many men like to use dumbbells to exercise the strength of their arm muscles. However, some people can't help but ask, is it really useful for men to use dumbbells to exercise? Let’s take a look at the opinions and relevant knowledge of professional fitness people.

Using dumbbells scientifically can indeed achieve good training results. Some information says that Schwarzenegger's muscular body was mainly obtained through dumbbell training. However, many people do not increase their strength or become toned after exercising with dumbbells, and often become discouraged. The dumbbells are put aside and even become a substitute for hammers. In fact, there is a lot to learn about dumbbell fitness. If it is not implemented, the exercise results will often be unsatisfactory.

Before exercising, the first thing we need to be clear about is whether strength training or bodybuilding is our favorite. There are two main ways to exercise muscles: one is to increase the number of muscle fibers; the other is to increase the volume of muscle fibers. The first way can improve the strength of the exerciser, but the bodybuilding effect is relatively not obvious, so it is suitable for professional weightlifters; the second way can significantly increase muscle volume, but the increase in strength is relatively small, so it is suitable for bodybuilders or general fitness enthusiasts. Fitness enthusiasts usually regard bodybuilding as their main goal. When exercising with dumbbells for this purpose, the following rules must be followed.

Before training, you should first choose dumbbells of appropriate weight. Generally, you need to choose dumbbells with a load of 65%-85%. The so-called load refers to the maximum weight that can be lifted. For example, if the maximum weight that can be lifted each time is 10 kg, you need to choose dumbbells weighing 6.5-8.5 kg for exercise. For the average fitness enthusiast, it is enough to have two or three pairs of dumbbells of different weights and stick to exercising. When exercising, do 6-8 lifts each time, repeat 8-12 times in each set. The movement speed should not be too fast, and there should be 2-3 minutes interval between each set. If the load is too large or too small, or the interval is too short or too long, the effect will not be good.
