​Key benefits of training with Dumbbells

When it comes to getting the most out of your training, it's important to keep things varied and fresh! Thankfully, there are lots of ways you can train the same muscle groups. For example, are barbell rows the same as dumbbell rows? Or do they have different benefits? What about dumbbell shoulder presses? Are they better than barbell overhead presses? Read below as to why you should train with dumbbells..
 
Dumbbells are most commonly used for isolation exercises and are great for upper body work as well as exercises such as lunges, walks and carries. The main benefits of using dumbbells are. 
 
1. Ease of use
Dumbbells don’t take up much space and you don’t need a Squat Rack to use them. So, if you’re looking to get a decent strength workout in at home, then dumbbells are a great way to train! 
 
2. Training efficiency 
Dumbbells are much quicker to change over than loading and unloading a barbell. So, in terms of getting in more reps, dumbbells can be really advantageous.  
 
3. Muscle Imbalances
Dumbbells are perfect for isolation work. And because you’re using your arms independently, there’s no risk of your stronger side carrying the weaker side. This is beneficial for anyone wanting to keep an eye on any imbalances they have.  
 
4. Flexibility 
Using dumbbells gives you a little more flexibility in terms of choosing the angles that you train at. This can be great for anyone who struggles with joint mobility as you can maintain a more neutral grip. Dumbbells allow you to move more naturally, which is not only more comfortable but will also optimize your workouts.
