Dumbbells - the all-rounder in strength training
Dumbbells are available in different designs, variants and materials. A common question that arises when buying dumbbells is which variant 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 discs or rubber discs are fixed at the two ends of the handle width, thus forming a complete dumbbell. The hex dumbbell, on the other hand, has a hexagonal shape. Due to the hexagonal shape, the dumbbell has straight sides and can therefore be put down easily and in a controlled manner because the dumbbell does not roll. The hexagonal rubber coatings on the ends of the dumbbell handles are certified in accordance with the so-called REACH regulation on high-quality dumbbells. This regulation determines, among other things, whether the rubber used is approved. 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 mixture has an optimal degree of hardness and at the same time elastic properties, so the PU coating has an extremely high tear resistance and is extremely insensitive and resistant to impacts, abrasion, scratches or chipping. Depending on the use, buying urethane dumbbells can therefore make sense.
Buy dumbbell set at a special price
A dumbbell set consists of different pairs of dumbbells. These generally 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 use, up to our maximum dumbbell of 100 kg. The most common dumbbell sets are 5 to 20, 30 or 40 kg. The different weights enable the right training weight for every strength exercise.
In combination with the right dumbbell rack, every dumbbell set visually enhances fitness rooms. Ideally, the dumbbell set is positioned in front of a mirror. This makes the training area appear larger and the exercise execution can be monitored and adjusted if necessary. For round dumbbells, we recommend a rack with storage trays and for hex dumbbells, a rack with a flat support surface .
Due to the purchase volume, the dumbbell sets can be purchased at motion sports at a special price.
Dumbbells - versatile training and exercises
What does What makes dumbbells so special? Well, their versatility is unmatched. You can train your entire body with dumbbells. The best thing about it is that you can quickly and individually adjust the intensity of your exercises. We have put together a few 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 mainly targets the chest muscles. At the same time, the shoulders and triceps are used. You can perform the bench press flat, inclined or negative to activate different muscle groups. Make sure you have the correct arm position: your palms should be above your chest and your elbows should be slightly bent.
Dumbbell bicep curls: The classic bicep exercise. The exercise is often performed according to the athlete's preference, often standing, but sometimes sitting. The dumbbells can be held with open palms or in a hammer grip.
Dumbbell shoulder press: Shoulder presses with dumbbells are ideal for building strong deltoid muscles. The exercise can be performed sitting or standing. The dumbbells are held in a hammer grip. Make sure you perform the overhead press cleanly.
Dumbbell lunges: You can perform the selection step statically on the spot or dynamically while walking.
Advantages of dumbbell exercises over guided exercises
The freedom of movement during dumbbell training promotes ergonomic and natural ranges of motion. This means that every body size and arm length can perform the ideal exercise. This optimally promotes the stabilizing work of the muscles on each side of the body. This results in balanced muscle growth and avoids the formation of imbalances.
