In contrast, dumbbells
allow complete freedom of movement and are the ultimately adaptable
tools to allow for not just person-to-person differences in body build
and musculoskeletal capacities, but also for variations from one side of
your body to the other. They also allow the greatest range of motion and
the potential for horizontal abduction - moving the arms from in front
of the body to the sides - as the arms are raised .
Particularly important
in terms of bodybuilding injury, dumbbells ( and some machines ) allow you to press
with wrists in a neutral position (palms facing one another). This can
help you keep your arms and shoulders in the correct groove and reduce
the risk of impingement. Dumbbells are what most athletes and
bodybuilders usually use after generally beginning with barbells and
later incorporating machines to add variety and isolation movements.
