You only have dumbells so that means you only have a certain amount of weight. And yet you are practising continuous overload. So you squeeze out 12 instead of 10. Then what? Add a set? Where does it stop? 20 sets of 12? And when that doesn't work you change the exercise since your muscles must be bored and so you have to shock them. And then they say, wow, I'm really excited now at this change of pace, I think I shall grow. Whatever floats your boat.

If you ask a question based on an assumption with the purpose of having everyone back up what you already believe...why bother? Tell you what, why don't you use the limited weight at your disposal and keep thinking up ways to shock your muscles with it for a couple of years and then come back on and tell us how that's working for you. BTW, try bad language and racy jokes in case your muscles are prudish.

The key to ANY type of adaptive process in the body is progression. You have to introduce a stimulus that is greater than the stimulus before. At the same time it has to be similar enough to force your body to adapt in a SPECIFIC way. The body doesn't adapt to random inputs. If fact the body has NO NEED to adapt to random inputs.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
