Why train with dumbbells?
'Why would you choose fitness dumbbells when there are also barbells and machines? Simple: dumbbells are flexible and accessible to everyone. This is due to:'
- A free movement path: Machines force you into a fixed position, dumbbells allow you to move naturally. Better for your muscles and joints.
- More muscle activation: Because you have to control the stability yourself, you train more muscle fibers per exercise.
- Compact & versatile: You don't need complicated devices, just a set of dumbbells and you can get started.
- Perfect for home: No space for a home gym? No problem. Dumbbells take up hardly any space and are ideal for full-body workouts.
Do you want to get even more out of your strength training? Then combine your dumbbells with a solid holder bank for extra possibilities.
Buying dumbbells: what should you pay attention to?
If you are looking for the perfect dumbbell sets, there are a few important points to consider:
1. Weight
Just starting? Choose a lighter weight and work your way up gradually. Advanced? Then you need heavier sets. The ZEUZ dumbbells range from 1 to 40 kg.
2. Wide or adjustable?
Fixed dumbbells are robust and ready for use right away. Adjustable dumbbells save space and are convenient if you need multiple weights.
3. Grip & material
A firm grip is very important. Choose a dumbbell with a comfortable, non-slip handle for maximum control during your lifts.
4. Sustainability
Cheap dumbbells wear out quickly. Opt for sturdy, rubber or metal dumbbells that last long and protect the floor.
Do you want more variety in your strength training? Combine your dumbbells with kettlebells for some extra exercises.
How do you get the most out of your dumbbell training?
Dumbbells are super simple to use, but that doesn't mean there aren't ways to use them even more effectively. A few tips:
1. Keep your technique tight
"No hasty repetitions or sloppy form. Focus on execution."
2. Vary in exercises
"Don't just train your arms. Also do squats, lunges, shoulder presses, and rows. This way, you'll make better use of your dumbbells."
3. Combine strength with endurance
Alternate heavy sets with lighter weights and higher repetitions. This way, you work on both strength and endurance.
4. Use a sports towel
Do you train intensively? Then it is a sports towel no unnecessary luxury. Keep your grip dry and your training area tidy.
5. Plan your progression
More weight, more reps, or more sets? Gradually increase your training for maximum results.
