Build a ripped athletic body with just a few dumbbells
http://athleanx.com/x/perfect-home-workout-program
Dumbbells are definitely one of the best form of workout equipment due to their ability to be used in small spaces and their high degree of athletic carryover. With their three dimensional freedom, dumbbells allow you to workout in all planes of motion and require a great deal of core strength and stability to use them properly. That said, choosing the best dumbbell exercises ever can be quite a challenge since there are so many to choose from. In this video, I picked the 8 best exercises with dumbbells and give you a reason why each has earned its spot.
To begin, lets take a look at the best dumbbell exercises. They are:
Dumbbell Curl and Press
Crush Grip Goblet Squats
Thrusters
Farmers Carries
One Arm DB Incline Bench Press
DB Pullovers
Swings
Tripod Dumbbell Rows
Each of these exercises require either just a single dumbbell or two dumbbells. They were chosen given their ability to work multiple muscle groups in one dumbbell only workout. The more muscles you can train in one workout the quicker your training session will be and the more impact you can have on your body in a shorter period of time.
Dumbbell only workouts can be incredibly challenging. In fact, some people think that you can’t effectively train your legs with db’s since you aren’t able to load up the weight high enough. That’s not true at all. You can choose exercises that you load with even 100lb dumbbells and perform on a single leg and you are sure to be pushing yourself to your limits.
The same can be said for dumbbell chest workouts and dumbbell back and arm workouts. The fact that you aren’t using a barbell does not sacrifice the quality or effectiveness of the training session. That said, you cannot continue to lift light dumbbells and think that you are going to get a great enough workout. Even if you are training at home, aim to lift the heaviest dumbbells that you can lift if you want to build muscle in your workouts.
If you are looking for a complete workout program that uses just a few dumbbells, a bench, a pullup bar and a resistance band then head to http://athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. By using equipment like dumbbells in your workouts, you’re training your body to move and look like an athlete.

Walking no faster than 3mph but with high elevation settings.

Tried it today and it crushed me ✌️..I am including this in my full body workout.
Can we do this every day
How many reps for each of the workouts in the video? Saying I would do them all in one workout
Excellent Video, even by Jeff's normal high standards.
do we do these exercises every day, or every second/alternate day?
pull up your shorts dude
Try wide dumbbell row for your back work.
Thank you. The last one is going to help me out with my rows.
wow absolutely brilliant. These exercises are revolutionizing my training! Jeff Caveliere passion is just so motivating. He really knows what he is doing!
Whose watching in the current year?
How many times a week? How many reps to see results?
lotta body on that first exercise
What weight do you use for all these I do them all with ease with a 30lb not sure if I want to get a 45 or 50lb for my next jump up in weight
Jeff looks like a lego man when he do them farmer carries
This was not bad at all when starting out from several years of undisciplined behaviour. Now all i need is some good meal plan
I'm 58 and work out 3 times a week. I am fortunate to have a good space, with two benches. I find doing strictly dumbbell workout in cold weather works best for me. A bad knee and iffy hip. Lol
I'm going to incorporate a couple of your 8 exercises. Thanks!
What about how many sets?

It must be washing day again for Jeff, all his shirts are in the wash.
Anyone try doing swings with bow flex adjustable dumbbells?
Whose watching this in 2024?
ik that most people wont care and some might think that it doesn't work, but I honestly think that for even a little more burn when doing the pullover, you can utilize the crush grip as well. its helped me in my workouts and i hope it does the same for whoever that tries it.
Who else is a fatass just watching this thinking about losing weight and building or keeping muscle but you know your not gonna do it ever
Good great vidio
thanks Chael Sonnen
Is that farmers walk exercise something you can do daily?
Hiw many sets am I goin do like so many till I can't move
Excellent video! Love it! So good and helpful, especially since I only have dumbbells for weights.
Do you have any "Best Dumbbell Exercises for Over 40" or over 50? If not, can you please do one? Also, a key part of this or a separate video could be important tips and techniques for dumbbells over 50. What changes should be made, or what things should be avoided over 50 (with dumbbells)?
Thanks so much for your excellent and helpful videos!!
