Checklist For Dumbbells
- There are a variety of different dumbbell models that can be used to work out different muscle groups.
- Dumbbells are classic fitness equipment. With them, you can train different muscle groups, because they have high freedom of movement.
- With a curl dumbbell you can train especially the arms. The curved dumbbell bar offers numerous grip options, so that arm exercises are possible with minimal strain on the wrists. Otherwise, this model is very limited in use.
- A barbell, on the other hand, is suitable for demanding exercises and higher weights. It is much more flexible than a curl bar and can be used for numerous muscle groups.
- Depending on the type of dumbbell you choose, you can choose from materials such as iron, plastic, or rubber.
- Dumbbell models, where the weight is fixed, are usually made of rubber. These are particularly suitable for training strength endurance and less for muscle building.
- Dumbbells that can be equipped with additional weight plates should be made of a high-quality material such as iron. Also with the additional weights you should pay attention to a material like iron.
- In order to use the dumbbells and the additional weights effectively, you should pay attention to the diameter of the dumbbell bar as well as the hole diameter of the additional weights.
- A common measurement for home use is a diameter of 30/31 millimeters.
- You can use the additional weights for any type of dumbbell.
- Safety is always a priority during training. To prevent you from slipping with sweaty hands, the handle should be non-slip. With iron models, this is done via a grooved surface.
- The weights are secured by screw or spring lock s.
- For barbells, spring locks are worthwhile because you can quickly remove and insert them by simply squeezing them together.
- For dumbbells you should rather pay attention to star locks. These are screwed on at the ends and sit more firmly than a spring lock.
