Can I build body just with dumbbells?
Yes, so long as you increase the weight over time.
You can absolutely bulk up with dumbbells, but you’re going to hit a wall if you don’t keep adding weight. Every few weeks, increase the amount of weight you’re lifting by 5–10 lb (2.3–4.5 kg) or so to keep those gains going.
How should a woman start lifting dumbbells?
You want to start with a weight that you can lift 10 to 15 times with proper form. Begin with 1 or 2 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions, and slowly progress to 3 sets or more. Gradually increase the weight. When you can easily do the recommended number of sets and reps, increase the weight by 5 to 10 percent.
