There are many effective ways to build strength. Some methods of building strength are much more effective than others. In this article we will be discussing the superiority of the dumbbell power-lifting over other methods of strength building. Dumbbells offer many more benefits than barbells, body-weight exercises, and weight-lifting machines. There is less risk of injury with dumbbells than there is with barbells, because if you drop dumbbells on a bench press, there is a good chance that they will fall to the sides of your body, as opposed to a bar which would land on your neck. Dumbbells require less reps and sets than body-weight exercises, thereby allowing you to be more efficient with your workout time. And finally, dumbbells are superior to weight-lifting machines because dumbbells require the use of, and thus train, many stabilizer muscles, whereas machines tend to isolate individual muscles and avoid secondary and stabilizer muscles.
The power-lifting method of increasing strength with dumbbells is as follows: Find the greatest amount weight that you are comfortable doing 4 sets of 4 reps. Only do 4 sets on any particular station. If you find that you can do more reps or more sets, then you need to increase the weight that you are lifting. Say that you are comfortable doing 4 sets of 4 reps with 60 lbs weights on a bench press. When you feel that you are ready to increase the weight, increase the weight of your 2nd set by 5 lbs. On your next weight increase, increase the weight of the 3rd set by 5 lbs. On your next weight increase, increase the 1st set by 5lbs. And lastly, increase the 4th set by 5 lbs.
