Best dumbbell exercises?

[Anonymous]

I've been planning on working out and so my dad bought me a dumbbell set. I was wondering what are some good dumbbell exercises and what muscles do they work out? My goal is to increase strength so any helpful tips on how to do it or certain things I should know would be greatly appreciated

Dumbell curls (biceps/triceps), dumbell flies (chest), and...I forget what it's called, but say you've got the dumbell in your right hand? You start out at the right hip and move it up across to your left shoulder. I usually do that one on my arm days.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You need to develop a little self-esteem. At the very least, stop referring to yourself as a dumbell

your best bet is to join a gym, you will have to work very hard to see any gains with just dumb bells alone, so join a gym and bulk up in weeks.
