Double the Gains: 10 Superset Exercises Using Adjustable Dumbbells

Double the Gains: 10 Superset Exercises Using Adjustable Dumbbells

Squeezing in a full-body workout feels impossible especially when you have a busy life and work schedule. Between work, family and other extracurricular activies, where can you find the time for your gym sessions? Enter supersets – the ultimate time-saver that pairs exercise back-to-back without rest. 

Combine this with adjustable dumbbells, and you’ve got a recipe for efficient muscle-building. Are you ready to transform your home gym routine? Let’s dive in.

Why Supersets Work

Superset training burns more calories, builds endurance and saves time by targeting multiple muscle groups in quick succession. Adjustable dumbbells make this possible by letting you switch weights rapidly between exercises. 

No more fumbling with fixed weights or bulky racks – just seamless transitions from curls to presses, lunges to rows.

10 Superset Exercises for Maximum Results

1. Dumbbell Floor Press & Alternating Bent-Over Row

Start flat on your back with dumbbells above your chest. Press upwards, then flip over for bent-over rows. This combo blasts your chest, shoulders and back while engaging your core. Adjustable dumbbells let you fine-tune weights for each movement – go heavier for presses, and lighter for rows.

2. Goblet Squat & Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift

Hold a dumbbell at your chest for deep squats, then shift to single-leg deadlifts. The goblet squat improves posture, while the deadlift hammers hamstrings and glutes. Use incremental weight adjustments to challenge balance as you progress.

3. Hammer Curl & Overhead Tricep Extension

Target arms with this classic pairing. Hammer curls build brachialis muscles, while overhead extensions isolate the triceps. Adjustable dumbbells let you quickly shift between weights – perfect for drop sets to failure.

4. Dumbbell Thruster & Shoulder Press

Explode from a squat into a shoulder press for full-body power. Thrusters boost cardio, while presses sculpt deltoids. The compact design of adjustable dumbbells prevents handle collisions during dynamic moves.

5. Walking Lunge & Renegade Row

Step forward with weighted lunges, then drop into plank position for renegade rows. This duo torches legs, core and upper back. Adjustable plates stay secure during floor work, avoiding rattling mid-set.

6. Incline Chest Fly & Pull-Over

Lie on a bench for chest flies, then transition to pullovers for your lats. This superset stretches the pectorals while enhancing ribcage expansion. A 2.5kg increment option allows precise load adjustments for hypertrophy.

7. Lateral Raise & Front Raise

Isolate shoulder muscles with lateral raises (arms out) followed by front raises (arms forward). Smaller weight increments (1.5kg) help avoid shoulder strain while maintaining tension.

8. Sumo Squat & Upright Row

Wide-stance squats target the inner thighs, while upright rows hit traps. Adjustable dumbbells with flat bases stay stable during sumo stances.

9. Deadlift & Shrug

Hinge at the hips for deadlifts, then finish with shrugs for trapezius development. Textured grips on quality dumbbells prevent slippage during high-rep sets.

10. Skull Crusher & Spider Curl

Lie back for tricep skull crushers, then flip over for spider curls. This brutal finisher maximises the pump in your arm. Quick-adjust mechanisms let you drop weight mid-superset as fatigue sets in.
