Dumbbell exercises that suit beginners
The aim for beginners to weight training must be to lay the foundations for the intensive workouts that their bodies will eventually be
subjected to. Obviously successful bodybuilding involves bringing together disparate elements such as nutrition and rest but choosing the right
exercises is crucial. In this article we'll outline the dumbbell exercises that will enable new bodybuilders to develop the general strength and
body conditioning needed.
Initially beginners should aim to complete two sets of ten to twelve reps but after a few weeks, when you have developed
sufficient control and basic strength, experiment with one set of six to eight reps to failure. This will maximize your muscle growth and give
you the impetus to move on to the next stage of development. Before long you'll find the use of this single piece of equipment restricting, so
later in this series of articles we'll pull together a muscle boosting program that utilizes other equipment to take you to the intermediate
level. In the meantime, get to work with these exercises in order to get used to working your muscles.
Start off training four days per week and work body parts on the following basis not forgetting to incorporate rest days:
Day 1 - Biceps, Back, Abs
Day 2- Hamstrings, Shoulders, Abs
Day 3 - Quads, Forearms, Calves
Day 4 - Triceps, Chest, Abs
The exercises recommended for beginners are as follows:
CHEST: Bench press, flyes
UPPER BACK: Prone reverse flye, seated reverse flye, bent over row, pullover
SHOULDER: Lateral raise, shoulder press, upright row
TRICEPS: Lying triceps extension
BICEPS: Curl, concentration curl
FOREARMS: Wrist curl, wrist extension
LEGS: Squat, leg curl, calf raise

Don't forget to check out this week's recommended bodybuilding article entitled What causes muscle growth?
1. Stimulus - exercise is needed to make the muscles work, use energy and cause microscopic damage to the
fibers.
2. Nutrition - after intense exercise the muscles need to replenish their stores of
fuel.
3. Rest - it is during the rest or recovery phase that the muscles repair the microscopic
damage and grow.
Muscle size increases due to hypertrophic adaptation and an increase in the cross section area
of individual muscle fibers. Intensive exercise impacts more on the strength influencing fast twitch type II fibers, therefore
the increase in muscle size is accompanied by greater strength. . . .
