Dumbell Excercises

donone · 02-20-2006, 06:20 AM

G'day Sherdogs, long time reader first time poster.

I want to increase my upper body strength but would rather do it from home instead of a gym for a number of reasons, the main one being that I work full time and would find it much more convienient.

I got a plenty of dumbells with plenty of weights, and can get a bench press bench - but I don't know all the excercises I can do with dumbells to work all the muscles in my upper body.

All I do now is bicep curls, lifting heavier dumbells straight off the ground to nipple height, and standing flys.

Could someone give me a list of more excercises to do, or even better post a link to a site which shows you all the ways you can use dumbells (and a bench press if need be) to work a range of muscles?

Thanks

For a long time reader you ain't been taking too much fucking heed eh?

First of all, this ought to be in the strength and power discussion.

Second, read the stickies therein; all will be revealed.

Thirdly, this is the least inflammatory reply you're likely to get.

Firstly, I'm terribly sorry I mistook 'strength and power' for conditioning - I mean I understand there is a tremendously big difference just like there is between you and an inanimate fucking rock.

Secondly don't try to act like a tough guy on the internet because you are a weedly nerd bitch in real life. A) it won't help, and B) you're shit at it.

Thirdly, fuck you.

Firstly, I was being nice, not aggressive. There's a tremendously big difference between the two, like the difference between you and an inanimate rock.

Just to clarify for you, here's what the terms mean:
Conditioning: Running and fitness
Strength and power: Strength and power

There is an enormous difference between them. Notice how runners tend to be skinny and weak? How strength and power people tend to be strong and powerful but usually aren't too good at running? A long time reader would have no problem discerning the difference. But that's ok. I don't mind. I can field lazy questions from lazy people all day. It's part of my aggressive, big-man internet persona.

"I want to increase my upper body STRENGTH"

Secondly, to reiterate for you: STRENGTH AND POWER, love. It's not my fault that people like me have to point this out to people like you who REFUSE TO APPLY THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF EFFORT REQUIRED AND THEN EXPECT A READY MADE WORKOUT TO POP INTO THEIR LAP.

Thirdly...have you read the stickies?

Nae aggro, dude.
