That being said, you need to focus on compound movements such as deadlifts, squats, bench presses and pull - ups, since they stimulate
greater fat loss and ignite growth in more
muscle groups
than isolation exercises.
The exercises are usually compound lifts, since they promote
greater gains by hitting more
than one group of
muscles at a time, compared to isolation movements.
The main benefit of using dumbbells is that it requires you to engage a
greater number of
muscles compared to the barbell and machine variant and actually activates the lower fibers of the chest press better
than a barbell press — since your hands are free to move across your body when you use dumbbells, the lower pecs get a better workout.
So even though theoretically the high bar squat hits your quads better, the low bar position allows for a
greater load placement on the quad
muscles and therefore results with more overall quad
muscle recruitment
than the high bar position.
In the bodybuilding community, the rest - pause method is considered as an effective way to fatigue the
muscle fibers more deeply and stimulate a
greater force production
than you would during a straight set.
To enable maximum tension on the targeted
muscle, you need to make sure that your pecs are doing the majority of work during every single rep. Dumbbells have the ability to place slightly more tension on the chest

greater range of motion, so consider incorporating dumbbell presses to your chest routine to reap this benefit and exhaust your pecs more thoroughly.
