Home training is a good alternative for those people who lead a very busy lifestyle and can not afford to attend various fitness clubs or gyms. However, good activities require the appropriate equipment of a personal corner for physical exertion on your living space. The latter, in addition to having sufficient space for equipment, requires the introduction of tangible financial resources, which not everyone has or who not everyone who is willing to invest in this business is willing to invest. The best that a person can afford in such a situation, without affecting his budget and maintaining a pretty good training efficiency, is collapsible dumbbells.
Classes with the latter are so effective that they can replace a whole room, stuffed with the latest power equipment. It is not difficult to guess that collapsible dumbbells, the price of which can vary widely, have different manufacturers. For example, there are both expensive versions of these shells with fully chrome parts, and cheap, without any coatings. Of course, for someone, cleanliness, comfort, and convenience are important, but for someone, just two pieces of iron and a basement are enough to conduct a really high-intensity training.
Of course, collapsible dumbbells are a good choice for those people who always or more time train at home, but what are their advantages compared to other equipment? Firstly, they make it possible to perform a wide range of movements. For example, with them you can do exercises for the bottom, and for the top of the muscles. Secondly, discreteness of the set load. This means that collapsible dumbbells can be loaded so that their weight changes in steps from the smallest to the largest value. For example, in light exercises such as concentrated bending of the arms, discs can be set so that the mass of the projectile changes by 100 grams or less.
On the other hand, during squats or deadlifts, you can change this parameter up to several tens of kilograms. Thirdly, collapsible dumbbells are a great chance to increase coordination and balance in the development of muscles as quickly as possible. The load is distributed on each side separately, due to which its uniform effect on the muscles occurs. Fourth, this is convenience. The use of such a projectile as a bar implies the presence of a power frame or racks on which it is placed at the end of the approach. Collapsible dumbbells at the end of the approach can simply be thrown to the floor, without fear of being crushed by exorbitant weight, if it suddenly turns out to be so.
What weight should this type of apparatus be for the initial training? As a rule, collapsible dumbbells, 20 kg of which are more than enough for both men and women, are used from the very first days of classes in the gym. Since at this stage of training, there is more training in the technique of movements in basic exercises, their weight should be sufficient to feel that there is heaviness in the hands and a certain load on the muscles is created. However, in no case can you use too massive dumbbells, otherwise, at best, you can disrupt the
trajectory, and in the worst, get injured.
