I'm talking more about the pure one arm variety.

I do them on occasion but its fun you brought this up. Just read an article about "circus dumbbell" (thats what they are called over here in strongman comps) and it got me hooked, doing em tomorrow in the shed.

Ignorant question here... Is there a functional difference between a "circus dumbbell" and a standard dumbbell of the same weight?

I use these every couple weeks as a way to help hit those stabilizer muscles real hard. I love 1 arm presses in the 100-140 pound range. I think it also helps that connection between legs and arms in the push press. |

I started doing one arms last year. Much more fun for me than trying to swing two heavy dumbbells up.

I've done these before and quite enjoyed them. I think I'll be trying them out again tomorrow after some front squats.
