Say goodbye to your old adjustable dumbbells

Say goodbye to your old adjustable dumbbells

The benefits of strength training and hypertrophy have become common knowledge in recent years.
With gyms on every corner and influencers on every smartphone, the chances are that you have
been involved in some form of membership or routine. Whether it’s for getting stronger, improving
appearance, increasing serotonin and testosterone or even just as a fun hobby, everybody is getting
in on the act.
However, the whole industry transformed overnight with the Covid-19 pandemic. With governments
closing parks and fitness centres, people were left with a kettlebell-shaped hole in their lives.
Henceforth the emergence of the workout at home phenomena. The likes of Athlean X, Joe Wicks,
Lucy Mecklenburgh turned inwards and began to focus on how people could build their dream
bodies and stay healthy in the comfort of their own homes.
This new market of locked-up bodybuilders created opportunities for trendy home workout
equipment pieces and exercise routines. Prior to this, homework outs were limited to body-weight
routines… You know, the good old press-ups, sit-ups and planks! But times have changed, with
influencers and gym enthusiasts banding together on Tik Tok and other social media platforms to
come up with new, innovative ways to make gains at home.
The best, most efficient piece of equipment is the adjustable dumbbells. An ingenious idea that
brings all the endless weight categories into two easy-to-use dumbbells. They are an absolute Godsend if you are looking for budget-friendly, space-saving, convenient equipment that provides small
weight increments and comes in great variety. You can literally demand your chosen weight for each
exercise at the turn of a cog.

This is perfect because different exercises require different weight levels. For example, on a push
day you may be looking for 25kg in each hand for a flat bench exercise, yet for lateral shoulder raises
you could be looking at 3-5kg. What the adjustable dumbbells do is provide both of those weights
for you, without you having to go and buy multiple different sets of weights. Otherwise, you would
be endlessly kitting out your house with more and more dumbbells through your progressive
overloading journey and could end up spending a significant amount. So be smart with your decision
to work out at home and get yourself some adjustable dumbbells.
Furthermore, the industry’s new outlook on working out at home hasn't disappeared with the end of
the pandemic. Obviously, the gym is great and it’s a healthy place to spend your time and socialise
with like-minded people, but in this day and age it’s not always possible to get to your local fitness
centre every day. Working from 9-5 (not including commutes) makes it harder to then sacrifice
another hour and a half in the evening or morning to head out again to the gym. Whereas, with
items such as the adjustable dumbbells people can simply come in from work, get into the gym kit
and make some gains all in the comfort of being at home. Saving time with a cost-efficient solution.
