How gymnasts train with dumbbells?
Wait, do gymnasts train with weights at all?
Of course they do.
Gymnasts use weights as well, however not necessarily the same way as weight lifters or body builders, but they do use weights.
And in this video, we’re going to take a look how, focusing on the dumbbell exercises.
First of all, let’s clarify: in gymnastics, weight training is not primary.
It’s obvious that gymnastics is all about bodyweight strength.
As i’ve mentioned in my previous video, gymnasts don’t aim to build more muscle than what is needed. They don’t need any extra muscle and bodyweight since that would make their routines harder.
This is why you’ll never see a gymnast to do deadlift or squat with heavy weights, they won’t have thick legs either, it’s time to accept this and get over it.
Since in this sport is all about relative strength, they only need the muscle mass that they can move easliy and do their routines the most optimal way.
The principle of specificity also applies here: if you want to train and develop bodyweight exercises and skill as effectively as possible, you need to do specific progressions with your bodyweight.
However, this doesn’t mean that there is no place for weight training in gymnastics.
Let's see how gymnasts use dumbbells!
