a. Dumbbells are two independent instruments, so single arm or alternating training can be chosen, such as alternating curls and alternating shoulder push.
Independent training of both arms is also more targeted, as they can hold the same weight on both sides, which can help correct power imbalance, and can also independently train weaker unilateral muscles.
For example, if the left side of your chest is larger than the right side, you can use one arm push to correct this muscle imbalance. Alternatively, one side of the arm can be thinner, and one-sided training can also be performed.
b. More flexibility, providing a larger range of motion and amplitude, which stimulates the muscles at more angles and promotes muscle growth. For example, when practicing the deltoids and biceps of the shoulder, multiple angles of movement can be chosen.
c. The safety of practicing dumbbells at home may be higher, and it is more convenient to pick up and put them down. For example, when dumbbells cannot be moved, they can be thrown away.
d. To better exercise core stability, you must control the independent arm movements on both sides, rather than using both arms at the same time. This will require your muscles to do more work during dumbbell training to maintain the stability of your body and training muscle groups.
e. Dumbbells have high degrees of freedom, so the number of movements will be much greater. For example, when practicing shoulder lifts, only dumbbells can do it, and barbells cannot do it. For example, when bending over a flying bird to practice shoulder leashes, this action can only be done with dumbbells, and barbells cannot do it.
f. Dumbbells require less space, while barbells require a larger space and higher safety requirements. At home, some movements of barbells may press down on the body or cause wrist injuries, while dumbbells do not, such as practicing bench press on a yoga mat at home.
