1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Many fans admit to ''not'' skipping [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULjbIMvP6A0 the opening theme]] when watching the series, thanks to the energetic and catchy lyrics:
2	--> ''Please Muscle! I want to be popular!\
3	Please Muscle! I want to be thin, Yes!\
4	Please Muscle! Because I want to be popular!\
5	Oh! (It's Beautiful) Ha! (It's Beautiful) I want Muscles!''
6	* BrokenBase: The English dub. Some have praised it for being an example of SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing due to the {{Woolseyism}}s and the performance of the cast, while others believe that it suffers from bad dialogue and {{Dub Personality Change}}s due to the script changes.
7	* CrossoverShip: Hibiki x [[Manga/KenganAshura Ohma]] has a small following after the two face off against each other in an eating contest during an official CrossOver bonus chapter.
8	* {{Fanon}}: Fans often joke about the possibility of the characters in the series secretly being a Kengan fighter. Machio is a favourite target, especially since he's also good friends with the wealthy Ibuki, who's sometimes speculated to be a Kengan Association member himself.
9	* FanNickname: The series is referred to as "''Do You Even Lift, Girl?''" by more fitness savvy fans, referencing a famous meme from online fitness communities.
10	* FriendlyFandoms: People who tend to read ''Dumbbells'' also are very fond of ''Manga/KenganAshura'', made by the same author and even being part of a shared universe.
11	* HollywoodPudgy: Hibiki is constantly made out to be overweight, even though her body mass index is only 21.6 (which is well within the healthy range and is actually around the national average for women), but it shown that her body fat percentage is at 35% (which is actually slightly above the healthy percentage for women). Still, she is drawn to look only slightly thicker then the rest of the cast and nowhere as big as she's made out to be.
12	* MemeticMutation: A Website/{{YouTube}}r made an hilarious [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfHvgPJPMXk montage]] of the series' opening with dancing scenes of real life bodybuilder Hwang Chul-soon, who is memetic himself for his showmanship and dances on the stage. Hwang himself is now considered the real life version of Machio due to his similar combination of hulking muscles and friendly face.
13	* NightmareFuel: Yakusha Kure is secretly a highly skilled assassin, coming from the same Kure Clan of ''Kengan Ashura''... And sometimes the characters enrage her. Thankfully, not enough for her to actually ''act'' on it... Until Jason in chapter 93. [[NeckLift She nearly kills him]].
14	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The ED takes cues from [[Music/VillagePeople "Macho Man"]].
