10.Rear Delt Bent Over Dumbbell Raises

Answer 2

Dumbbells are primarily for strengthening the small balancing muscles that surround the bigger muscles. If you want big arms, do stipulated alternating curls along with tricep extensions. These both will add enormous size and make you look badass.

Answer 3

Curls are a good dumbbell exercise to do, because they strengthen your biceps, which is one of the main muscles in your upper arm. To strengthen your triceps, try extension exercises, where you lift the dumbbell straight up in the air and bring it down. Risk of injury is high with dumbbell exercises, so take care.

Answer 4

Use equal weights in each hand. You can slowly raise the dumbbells over your head and bring them back to your side. Then you can try lying on the floor and slowly raise up the weights and bring them back down to the side.
