All beginners know that dumbbells are used in bodybuilding workouts to build biceps while performing exercises on a preacher. That is the most common use of dumbbells. The second most popular is a series for a chest workout. 9 examples of workouts for pectoral muscles building useful also to get rid of man boobs are: a bench press (with or without neutral grip), incline bench press (with or without neutral grip), decline bench press, lying fly, incline fly, straight-arm pullover, bent-arm pullover. Let’s look closer to 2 of the most important of them: incline fly and bench press. To do both of them you need a fitness bench.

Incline fly

Lie down on your back on an incline bench and grab one dumbbell with each hand at body height, elbows just slightly arched. Keep your back straight and your feet planted firmly on the ground. Hold the weight straight above you with your arms fully extended. The dumbbells should be positioned so that your hands are making a direct vertical line with your neck with your palms facing one another. When you are lowering the dumbbells keep your elbows slightly bent. The important moment is when you again reach the point where your elbows and chest form a horizontal line. You shouldn’t continue the motion behind this point. When you reach this stage, arms should be stretched out, elbows slightly bent. From here, you begin the backward motion until dumbbells are side by side on top of you. Take a short break and repeat the sequence. As usually it is recommended to make 3 series of 8 to 12 repetitions.

Bench press

Lie down on the bench with your dumbbells and hold them at chest level along your body, palms facing your feet. Your arms should rest bent under each dumbbell. Raise the dumbbells straight up until your elbows are extended. After a short pause lower the weight to the sides of the upper chest, slowly, until a slight stretch is felt in the chest or shoulder area. Repeat as usual. Exhale when rising and inhale when lowering.

These are only the simplest examples of over 70 different workouts you can perform with dumbbells. You don’t need any kind of home gym machines. Besides a dumbbell set, all you really need is a simple or inclined bench.

If you are a newcomer to the world of weight lifting, and would like to learn which exercises can be easily performed with regular dumbell weights in order to develop fresh muscle gains, then the following information will be beneficial to you. There are two important major exercises that can be performed from the comfort of home with nothing more than a pair of dumbell weights and a simple bench. One of these will be more difficult to carry out than the other, but both of them are excellent for beginner level weight trainers interested in seeing first-time muscular development.

One of the fundamental pressing exercises that forms a part of weight-training is the bench press. The bench press is performed by laying on your back, preferably on a bench. The exercise is initiated by hoisting the weight into an upright position where both both dumbells are above you and your arms are extended into an elbow-locked position. You will then lower the weight to your chest slowly, and press it back up in an explosive movement. You can repeat the movement until failure.

Another good exercise that you can perform with dumbells is the dumbell squat. You can do this by standing with your feet positioned at shoulder-width. With the dumbells weights in either hand, lower your body until your knees are at a 45 degree angle. Then, push the weight back up using your leg muscles while keeping your back straight and firm at all times. The squat is an excellent exercise for building the muscles in your lower body, and by using dumbell weight you can avoid injury much easier than if you were to use a barbell.

In conclusion, using weights and dumbells to improve your physique through muscle gain is the ideal choice for beginners, as a dumbell weight set is much easier to handle than other free weight systems. The bench press is easier to perform than the squat, but over time you can learn to carry out both exercises with perfect form and heavier weight. Many home gym machines include a weight system.
