Some of the Best Dumbbells We've Tested Are on Sale Now

We've kicked off a new year which means new workouts, new goals and maybe some new equipment for your home gym, so you can tone and muscle up without leaving the house. Dumbbells are one piece of equipment that's pretty much necessary to make progress against your strength training goals without heading out to the gym. In fact, if used correctly, you may not need much else on hand. Not to mention, they're super easy to keep at home.

“There’s a reason dumbbells are in every single big-box gym,” says Men's Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S., who created an arm-focused muscle-building program, All Out Arms, based heavily around dumbbells. “If you want targeted muscle—and that’s what all guys want—then you want dumbbells.”

The weights are ideal for upper body work like presses, pulls, curls, and more, and they're much easier to wield than long, heavy barbells. They come in many different styles and weight ranges, and many sets are even adjustable—meaning that there's a dumbbell out there for all abilities and goals. Practically speaking, they also take up very little space and are relatively cost-efficient, making them perfect for anyone who's limited on space or doesn't want to shell out thousands for a full home gym setup.
