Dumbbells - the all-rounder in strength training
Dumbbells are available in different designs, variations and materials. A common question when buying dumbbells is, which version is suitable for me and meets my requirements? The classic among dumbbells is the old-school variant, the CHD dumbbell. This dumbbell consists of an ergonomically shaped solid steel handle with non-slip knurling. Cast iron plates or rubber plates are fixed at the two ends of the grip width and thus form a complete dumbbell. The Hex Dumbbell, on the other hand, has a hexagonal shape. Due to its six-sided shape, the dumbbell has flat sides and can therefore be easily and controllably put down, as the dumbbell does not roll. The Hex Dumbbells from motion sports comply with the REACH regulation!
Our compact dumbbells are made entirely of solid steel and are mechanically connected to form a single component. The compact dumbbell is available with a rubber coating, certified according to the REACH regulation - PRO-Style Rubber Dumbbells or with a urethane coating - ATX Urethane Dumbbells. The high-quality polyurethane compound has an optimal hardness while being elastic, thus the PU coating has extremely high tear strength and is extremely insensitive and resistant to impacts, abrasion, scratches or chipping.
Buy dumbbell sets at a special price
A dumbbell set consists of various pairs of dumbbells. Basically, these start at 5 kg in 2.5 kg increments or at 4 kg in 2 kg increments. The dumbbell sets are variable, depending on the application, up to our dumbbell maximum of 100 kg. The common dumbbell sets are 5 to 20, 30 or 40 kg. The different weights allow the right training weight for every strength exercise.
In combination with the right dumbbell rack, every dumbbell set enhances the visual appeal of fitness rooms. Ideally, the dumbbell set is positioned in front of a mirror. For round dumbbells, we recommend a rack with storage cradles and for hex dumbbells a rack with a flat support surface.
Due to the volume purchased, dumbbell sets are available at a special price at motion sports.
Dumbbells - versatile training and exercises
What makes dumbbells so special? Well, their versatility is unsurpassed. With dumbbells, you can train your entire body. Their use in combination with a weight bench is particularly effective – allowing you to perform bench presses, flyes, shoulder presses, and many other exercises in an optimal position. We have compiled some of the most popular dumbbell exercises for you:
Dumbbell Bench Press: The dumbbell bench press is one of the most popular exercises in strength training and primarily targets the chest muscles. At the same time, the shoulders and triceps are engaged. You can perform the bench press flat, inclined, or declined to activate different muscle groups. Pay attention to the correct arm position: your palms should be over your chest and your elbows slightly bent.
Dumbbell Bicep Curls: The classic among bicep exercises. The exercise is often performed according to the athlete's preference, often standing, but sometimes also sitting. The dumbbells can be guided with open palms or in a hammer grip.
Dumbbell Shoulder Press: For building strong deltoid muscles, the shoulder press with dumbbells is ideally suited. The exercise can be performed sitting or standing. The dumbbells are gripped in a hammer grip. When performing the overhead press, ensure a clean execution.
Dumbbell Lunges: You can perform lunges statically in place or dynamically while walking.
Advantages of dumbbell exercises over guided movements
The freedom of movement during dumbbell training promotes ergonomic and natural ranges of motion. This allows every body size and arm length to achieve the ideal execution. This optimally promotes the stabilizing work of the muscles on each side of the body. This results in balanced muscle growth and prevents the formation of imbalances.
Buying dumbbells – Hints and tips
When buying your dumbbells, you should pay attention to quality, robustness and, if necessary, required certifications.
