A dumbbell exercise chart can be very useful for choosing the best exercises for your weight lifting program. If you’re serious about making progress, you need to choose only the best dumbell exercises.

Below, you’ll find a list of the best dumbbell exercises for each major muscle group:

Quadriceps: Dumbbell Squats

Hamstrings: Dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts

Legs: Dumbbell Lunges

Calves: Calf Raise

Chest: Incline Bench Press

Deltoids: Dumbell Overhead Press

Back: Rows

Biceps: Curls

Triceps: Extensions

Forearms: Pinwheel Curls

The dumbell exercises I’ve listed above are the absolute best compound weight lifting exercises that you can do with dumbbells. All you’ll need to do the exercises above are a good set of adjustable dumbells and an adjustable weight bench. That’s it.

You can build your own home gym in the corner of any room. And you can get a great workout with the exercises I’ve shown you. You don’t need much room at home, and the cost of the equipment is minimal.

You probably noticed that I didn’t include any exercises like dumbell chest flyes or front dumbbell raises. I didn’t include inferior exercises like those because they’re isolation exercises. Isolation exercises work a minimal amount of muscle mass compared to compound dumbbell exercises.

Compound exercises are more efficient. This means you get better results in less time. Stay away from isolation exercises unless you really need to improve a weakness in one of the major muscle groups.

You can see the entire dumbell exercise chart at the link below. The complete chart includes exercise videos. You’ll find out how to do each of the exercises in the list above.

You’ll even get more information about putting these exercises together to form a weight lifting program. Using an intelligently designed weightlifting program allows you to make progress and not waste your efforts in the gym. See the link below.
