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.





Train with purpose,
