Thread: Dumbbell swings

everything. especial. lower back, hamys, ass, abs, and shoulders

hips

o yah i forgot hips. but it is an entire body excrrcise it works prety mcuh everything

Nice exercise to add at the end of a routine.

Posterior chain/hips.

I could see my grip failing and throwing a dumbbell.

Primarily hips. If you do it for reps rather than weight it really works your shoulder and lat endurance, just make sure you keep your shoulder 'sucked in'

Works the whole body, this is the exercise I do for warm ups before lifting

i do them as a squat/deadlift accessory movement but not like that..i hold the dumbbell by the handle palm down and do them one arm at a time. I've worked my way up to using the 110's.

my advice..learn the form to make it all flow and have a good grip..if you don't have a good grip use straps..the momentum makes that dumbbell want to visit the moon on the way up.

110's 1-armed are impressive. how's your shoulder with that kind of weight?
