When raising dumbells in front of you by using only the forearm, the pivot is the elbow joint; the load is the dumbells at the opposite ends of the arm from the elbow joint; and the position of the effort is where the muscles of the arm are attached by tendons to the arm bones near the wrist. This is a third class lever system.

What simple machine is a dumbell?

A dumbbell is considered a type of lever, specifically a class 1 lever. In this case, the fulcrum is the point where the dumbbell is held, the effort is the force applied by the person lifting the dumbbell, and the load is the weight of the dumbbell itself. By applying force at one end of the lever (lifting the dumbbell), the load (weight) at the other end can be moved, making it easier to perform exercises and build strength.
