Getting a complete workout doesn’t require an entire gym full of equipment!
A set of adjustable dumbbells can support any exercise routine you have in mind. Being able to select the weight gives you the flexibility to change the resistance level and workout any part of your body
The best part is that adjustable dumbbells are compact. You don’t need a rack full of different weights – just a single pair of dumbbells that’s suitable for home gyms of every size.
What Are Adjustable Dumbbells?
An adjustable dumbbell is a type of dumbbell that allows you to change the weight using a knob, dial or pin.
Each dumbbell is the size of a normal dumbbell. It slots into an interconnected set of weights, and you can adjust the weight up and down as needed. The process only takes a few seconds and you don’t need to worry about adding or removing plates and collars to the bar.
Adjustable dumbbell sets typically come in pairs with a maximum weight of 40kg - 70kg. High quality sets also allow you to choose the weight increment of each plate, giving you more control over how much you’re lifting.
Get a Full Body Workout With Adjustable Dumbbells
Adjustable dumbbells are the most versatile piece of equipment in your home gym. They’re perfect if you’re looking for a full-body workout, and they can be combined with equipment like an adjustable bench for even more flexibility.
Here’s a short list of the exercises you can do with adjustable dumbbells:
- Dumbbell squats
- Goblet squats
- Dumbbell deadlift and stiff legged deadlift
- Bent over dumbbell row
- Dumbbell bench press and floor press
- Lateral raises
- Curls
- Lying dumbbell extension
- Dumbbell lunges
- Dumbbell flys
- Dumbbell step up
- And many more
If you’re looking to build strength, adjust the weight until you can complete 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps in each exercise. Increase or decrease the weight to find the correct resistance level.
If you’re looking to build muscle, adjust the weight until you can complete 3-5 sets of 10-15 reps in each exercise. This causes hypertrophy and increases muscle mass.
The best part of adjustable dumbbells is that you can increase the weight for progressive overload. Once you can complete your sets, simply add more weight to the dumbbells to increase the resistance!
Benefits of Adjustable Dumbbells
Adjustable dumbbells are one of the most versatile pieces of equipment you’ll ever own. They are perfect for people at every fitness level, and they offer a range of benefits, including:
- Compact – The biggest benefit of adjustable dumbbells is their size. A pair of adjustable dumbbells has the same footprint as a pair of large dumbbells. That makes them perfect for home gyms where space comes at a premium!
- Affordable – Buying an entire set of traditional dumbbells is an expensive exercise. Adjustable dumbbells can replace dozens of individual dumbbells and are usually more affordable to purchase.
- Weight range – Adjustable dumbbells come in a variety of weight ranges, typically up to 72kg. Depending on the set, the weight can be increased in 2kg or 4kg increments, so they’re suitable for all fitness goals.
