Dumbbells are free weights used for weight training. They come in different shapes and sizes—from the classic cast iron dumbbells you see on weight racks at the gym to selectorized options that let you adjust your weight load in seconds.
Lifters often skip dumbbell exercises in favor of the barbell, which allows for bigger loads. But dumbbell training has its own set of advantages, including:
The heavier weights you lift, the more hand and wrist support you need. Look around at the gym and you’ll see lots of weightlifters using all kinds of straps, hooks, and gloves.
Many of the dumbbell straps you find online are simple pieces of sewn cloth or leather that loop around the wrist and the bar.
These products claim to make it easier to get control over heavy weights, but many are poorly designed. Low-quality dumbbell wrist straps are uncomfortable to use and may even increase the risk of injury.
There are dozens of dumbbell exercises, each targeting different areas of the body and specific muscles or muscle groups. We won’t list them all here, but here’s a sampling of some of the most popular exercises using dumbbells.
