5 great reasons to buy adjustable dumbbells

Imagine if you could replace a room full of weight machines with a single piece of exercise equipment without costing you an arm or a leg! Well, adjustable dumbbells could be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Adjustable dumbbells are one of the best investments you can make in your home gym. If you still need convincing, check out the following 5 reasons why you need to pick up your own adjustable dumbbell set.

1. Range of exercises

One of the main advantages of dumbbells over traditional weight machines is that you can perform a number of different exercises without changing machines. You can easily switch from doing bicep curls to tricep kickbacks simply by changing your body position. So instead of buying 4 different machines to get a full body workout, you just need one set of adjustable dumbbells.

2. Price

If you look around you today, you could easily spend thousands of dollars on different exercise equipment just to work different muscle groups. Surprisingly, you can get an adjustable dumbbell set for just $200-$300, depending on the weight of the set. Considering the variety of exercises you can perform, this is excellent value for money!

Compare this price to your local gym membership and you’ll quickly see why this is such a good value.

3. Adjustability convenience

This is what makes adjustable dumbbells so great and what sets them apart from traditional dumbbells. By using a simple quick-change pin, you can instantly switch from one dumbbell weight to the next. Think of it like a weight machine loaded with pins but with dumbbells. Because you shift the weight of the dumbbell with a pin, you don’t need a room full of dumbbells that can get in the way and cost a lot of money.

4.Space

Unlike traditional dumbbells that need a dumbbell rack and plenty of storage space, adjustable dumbbells sit on a rack so they can be stored in the corner of a room. That way you can leave more room for larger fitness equipment like elliptical machines or treadmills.

If you’ve been putting off building your home gym due to lack of space, now you have no excuse!

5. Maximum muscle development

Dumbbells, also known as free weights, are best for maximizing muscle development. Because they are less stable than machine weights, you need to use more muscles (stabilizing muscles) to help support the weight and exercise with proper form. If you’ve tried both a traditional bench press and a dumbbell press, you’ll know that using dumbbells is much more difficult.

A person who can bench press 200lbs x 8 reps with a traditional barbell could only do 160lbs (80lbs per hand) x 8 reps with dumbbells because they have to work harder to stabilize the weight.

So there you have it. What excuses do you have now? Make a smart move and put adjustable weights at the top of your home gym priority list.
