Whether you have plans of building muscles, losing weight, becoming a better runner, or anything that you want to achieve, it is crucial that you find the right weight dumbbells for strength training. But if you have never bought one before, getting confused about making the right choice is often an issue. There would be so many questions in your mind and the available options might confuse you about making the decision. But no matter what, if you are going to buy dumbbells, make sure that they are the right size or don’t buy them at all because you might not use them ever.

Although there is no exact weight range for every person, there are a few general rules that you can follow to make sure that the weight isn’t too light or too heavy for you. So, here we are with a few points that will help you buy dumbbells so that you can get the best results you anticipate.

• **You should be able to work for the last few reps.**When you are going to buy the right pair of dumbbells for you, you must consider it as a fitness experiment. It may take a few sets to find your sweet spot but when you know it, you will be able to easily find the right weights for your needs. The weight is heavy enough if you struggle to complete the last few reps and you may feel like ending the workout even before you planned to do so. Also, the weight is too heavy if you struggle to maintain proper form or can’t hit the number of repetitions set out in the workout. Not to forget, a weight that is too heavy can also be injurious to your body.
• It should not be very easy for you to perform during the last few reps. Remember that the weight is too light if can easily perform all your routine reps without struggling in the last few reps. Not only this, but you have more strength than you can do some more repetitions sets. There are chances that with light weights also, you may feel the burn and that the things are working but it doesn’t mean that the weight is challenging. The weight should be heavy enough that you feel the weight from the very first set. But if you think that you won’t have any problem, in the end, the weight is too light for you.
• Consider the exercise you are doing. The choice of the right weight depends on the strength of the muscles that you will be working on. For instance, your glutes are quite powerful and you can go with heavyweights with a squat or deadlift. But if you are working the back of your shoulder with a posterior fly, you need to choose lighter weights because it is a weak smaller muscle group. Make sure that you consider the muscle group that you are working on and make sure that you choose the weights that challenge your muscle without compromising the form.
