I am a huge fan of free weights. I love using dumbbells and barbells while working out to maximize my time and my efficiency.

 

If you’re going to spend time and effort weight training there’s simply no more efficient way to do it.

This results in more muscle activity and a more efficient workout overall (I actually wrote a post on this topic – check out Free Weights vs Machines).

So grab your set of dumbbells and we’ll get to work!
