Your strength training dumbbells workouts must follow a few simple guidelines if you want to get the best results possible in the least amount of time.
If you want to burn off pounds of body fat, sculpt lean, sexy muscle, and therefore transform your body as fast as possible, make sure you follow and apply these tips and try out the sample strength training dumbbells workout.
Do Not Use Bodybuilding Splits
Traditional bodybuilding splits are useless for helping you transform your body in the least amount of time possible. The best way to get more results in less time is to use total body workouts. By using total body workouts you will only have to workout three days per week, on non-consecutive days.
This way you can workout on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or a similar split.
The reason total body workouts are more effect than bodybuilding splits is because you will burn a lot more calories during the workout and your metabolism will be elevated for up to 36 hours after the workout is finished. Most bodybuilding workouts consist of isolation and machine exercises. Those don't burn many calories at all, let alone put your metabolism on full blast.
Furthermore, you can get a lot more accomplished working out three days a week as opposed to five or more that bodybuilding splits require. More results in less time - I can't think of anything better than that.
Use Compound Exercises
The absolute best way to get leaner, bigger, and/or stronger is to use big, compound exercises. These exercises allow you to use more weight than isolation exercises (compare a dumbbell chest press to a dumbbell fly). This allows you to burn more calories while you exercise, and compound exercises are more effective for jacking up your fat burning metabolism. Not only will those exercises help you to burn off pounds of body fat, but they are significantly more effective for helping you to build lean muscle and increase your strength levels.
