Dumbbells

A dumbbell is a piece of equipment used in weight training. Dumbbells are a type of free weight. It is a weight that is usually held in one hand. Hence, dumbbells normally come in pairs.

Due to their flexibility, dumbbells can be used in all types of resistance weight training, but the most popular dumbbell exercises remain the Bench press and the Bicep curl. Using dumbbells (especially adjustable dumbbells) often without wearing weightlifting gloves causes calluses on the palm of the hand. They are not detrimental to weight training, but most users dislike them and hence the use of weight training gloves.
