If your goal is to gain strength, develop power, reshape your body or prevent injuries by strengthening the stabilising muscles around your joints - free weight training will be your most effective workout.
Compared to a conventional exercise machine free weights provide more stimulus to both your muscular and neurological systems. With free weights your body must continuously contract other supportive muscles to stabilise and coordinate the lift. There are two basic types of dumbbells: fixed-weight and adjustable-weight. Fixed-weight dumbbells are the type that you find in commercial gyms. To accommodate the needs of different exercises, it’s necessary to have fixed-weight dumbbells of many different sizes. Sets of fixed-weight dumbbells are typically arranged in long racks, use up a considerable amount of floor space and can cost several thousand pounds to purchase a complete set. Adjustable-weight dumbbells allow their weights to be changed through the addition or removal of individual weight plates.
Designed and assembled in the USA, the PowerBlock brand has been the world’s leading adjustable dumbbell since 1993. The patented selector pin speeds up weight selection and delivers a more balanced and compact dumbbell than any other brand. Many customers prefer the feel of PowerBlocks to traditional fixed-weight dumbbells.
If you’re setting up a home gym a PowerBlock adjustable dumbbell system is the first training tool you should invest in. All home models come with a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty and the Flex U-90 Club Set also carries the additional 3-year commercial warranty. This level of confidence in the quality and durability of the PowerBlock adjustable dumbbell system is unrivalled in the dumbbell market and ensure total peace of mind and life-long support for customers.
