Which Adjustable Dumbbells To Buy?

Which Adjustable Dumbbells To Buy?


Kyle,

Thanks for your response. It tells me I need to buy your book to
guide me along the home gym maze of confusion -- which I
planned to do anyway. It also tells me that my most recent
thoughts about buying a set of adjustable dumbbells might be
the best place to start because I'll end up using these no matter
what I add to the room later on.

So, would you have any personal perferences toward any of the
several manufacturer's of adjustable dumbbells out there right
now? I'm leaning toward the Powerblock type.

Which begs the question, which of the Powerblock models would
you buy ... or should I buy? One last question --- would you
recommend buying a bench also, or to rely solely on the swiss
ball as a complete replacement for bench-type exercises?

Thank you very much for your help. I think you've cleared my
head a bit on this issue.

Ken,

Thanks for the question.

There are many types of adjustable dumbbells on the market but my two favorite are the Powerblocks and then more recently, the new Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbells.

One of my home gym training clients recently turned me onto the Bowflex version and although I was initially skeptical of them I must say that I actually like them now. Either way, they are both quality products and you can't go wrong with either model.

I have no idea of your strength levels or your goals so I would recommend picking what ever size you feel is appropriate for your needs. I am pretty sure that you can buy the extra weight for the power blocks at a later time if need be.

To answer your question about a bench, you could simply start by using a Stability Ball for your bench pressing needs to get you started as shown below.

This will certainly get you started and if space and money are an issue then this would be a great way to start!

I cover this topic in depth along with many other similar space and money saving ideas in my Home Gym Secrets E-Book.

I hope that helps Ken.

Space and Cost Saving Ideas for Your Home Gym?

A Question on Space and Cost Saving Ideas For A Home Gym!


Hi Kyle,

I think this question is probably one that many people have. (You may have already answered this in your ebook - I haven't purchased it yet.)

I have limited space for a home gym as I live in a tiny apartment. If a home gym set up is limited to very few (and space-saving) items, what would you recommend in order to get a challenging, but effective workout in. I'll be happy to follow through if you can give me ideas on a cost-effective, and high-variety workout?

Thanks,

Tera

Tera,

Yes, I definitely do cover this in my Home Gym Secrets book but I'll be happy to give you a couple of ideas to get you started. :)

-A set of adjustable dummbbells, a pair of regular dumbbells, or kettlebells that can be tucked in the corner are great pieces of equipment that you can use, relatively cheap too. I actually have a small apartment and my home gym consists these pieces of equipment that I just mentioned. You can tuck them in the corner or under a bed after you are done training with them.

-Your own bodyweight for bodyweight exercises is a tool that you already have at you disposal. Performing squats, lunges, push-ups, planks, and body weight calisthenics can give you phenomenal results without spending a dime on any equipment!

-The most important ingredient is a your Mind (you must follow a sound training and nutritional program in order to see results). It is really not about the equipment at all and that is a point that I stress in my e-book. The equipment is just an addedd detail that can offer more variety and fun. The real results are due to the plan that you follow! :)

Get a great training program and start with that. I cover the pros and cons of various pieces of home gym training equipment in my e-book and recommend many useful training resources as well.

Remember, the plan is where the results are to be found.

Train with purpose,
