BESCHRIJVING

This 15 kg cast iron dumbbell is ideal for developing muscle strength. You can adjust the dumbbell to your own level, as it comes with four 2.5 kg plates and two 1.25 kg plates. The plates are securely fastened with the screw collars, which complete the total weight of 15 kg.



Too light or too heavy?



A familiar sight in every gym is the following: enthusiastic, often still somewhat inexperienced gym-goers perform exercises—such as 'bicep curls'—with weights that are far too heavy. Their whole body shakes back and forth to lift the dumbbell. This completely defeats the purpose of the exercise: isolating a single muscle group. Back injuries are lurking! If you consider that the world's most famous bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger, performed a large part of his bicep training with 8, 10, 12, and 14 kg weights, you will realize that 15 kg per arm is more than enough weight for most people for the time being, and often too much rather than too little. Should you still want to train heavier, you can of course purchase a few extra weight plates for a song, which you can effortlessly slide onto the dumbbell bars.

Various exercises



With dumbbells, countless exercises are possible, allowing you to train almost every muscle group. To name a few examples: bicep curls and tricep extensions for your arms, dumbbell presses, upright rows, and lateral side raises for your shoulders, or dumbbell squats for your legs.



Dumbbells vs machines



The main reason why many professional athletes choose to train with free weights, such as dumbbells, is the endless variety and the fact that the body is not 'assisted' by a machine that limits the range of motion. Furthermore, when training on machines, the muscle attachments tend to lag behind in development.
