Fundamental Principles that Produce Results

Creating the body you want through dumbbell exercise, starts with understanding 5 key principles. These principles will not only help you achieve your goals, but enable you to train safely.

Principle 1 - Form is more important than weight

Making proper form a priority over the amount of resistance you use will give you far better results in the long run. This can be a problem especially for beginners, who in their enthusiasm, can overestimate their strength levels.

For example:

In a biceps curl, only your arms should be moving - bending at the elbow. However, too much weight can cause your elbows to come forward, the arching of your back, or even swinging of the weight.

Principle 2 - Begin with lighter weights

When you do an exercise for the first time, start with a light weight. This will enable your body to learn to do it correctly. Just like learning to ride a bike, your body needs time to learn how to do each exercise correctly.

Principle 3 - Too much of a good thing can be bad

Dumbbell exercises can be very effective at toning or developing your body. However, on occasion, individuals can get caught up in the idea that if doing 3 sets produces results, than doing 6 sets will produce even better results.

The truth is your body has a limited ability to adapt to your workouts, whether that be losing fat, burning calories or building strength/muscle.

Principle 4 - Variety is the Spice of Exercise

Selecting new dumbbell exercises every 3-4 weeks can keep your workouts fun, fresh, and productive.

Principle 5 - The Turtle, Not the Rabbit, Wins the Race

If you were to get only 1 thing from this page, please remember that consistency in your workouts will be far more important than how much you do in your workouts.

Example:
If you did a 20min workout, 3 times a week, you would get far better results than if you did a 1 hour workout 1 to 2 times a week.

Even if you can only workout 10min, 3 times a week, you will still get better results than trying to do a “mega” 3 hour workout once a week.
