you need to lower/raise dumbell upto a particular point

[tufguy]

Can we say someone in the gym "While performing a particular exercise you need to lower/raise dumbell upto a particular point"?

 

[emsr2d2]

Are you or are you not talking about a specific dumbbell?

There is a preposition missing near the start. There is a comma missing inside the quote.

There's also a space missing between two prepositions.

In addition, we would not lower a dumbbell up to a particular point.

Can we say to someone in the gym "You need to lower/raise dumbbell up to a particular point"?

What else do we need to say?

We lower it to a point. Am I correct?

Can we say to someone in the gym ...

or

Can we tell [STRIKE]say[/STRIKE] someone in the gym ...

 

[tufguy]

or

Can we say "Bring it till your ear/knee and lift it again"?

 

[teechar]

No, try "to ear level" instead of "till your ear".

You should raise/lift the dumbbell to (your) chest/shoulder/waist/ear/knee level.

You should raise/lift the dumbbell to (your) chest/shoulder/waist/ear/knee level.

Can we say "Bring it to your knee/ear or knee/ear level"?

Can we say "Bring it to your knee/ear or knee/ear level"?

Tufguy, we've told you before that your use of slash marks and your habit of putting all your suggestions inside one set of quotation marks make it very hard to make sense of what you're trying to say. Your last post suggests that someone would say all ten of those words in one sentence to someone. That would be ridiculous. I'm going to suggest, again, that you give all your suggestions in separate sentences. Here is how I would lay out your post:

Can I say the following?

1. Bring it to your knee.
2. Bring it to your ear.
3. Bring it to knee level.
4. Bring it to ear level.

Sorry, but are these correct?

Numbers 3 and 4 are understandable, but it's more natural to say lift it or lower it.

In a gym or other exercise setting, I find "bring" OK. I have certainly heard things like "Bring the weight to shoulder height then slowly back to the starting point".
