Choose cast-iron discs over plastic or vinyl!
We'll tell you why:
Cast iron, because of its greater density than vinyl, makes it possible to increase the number of discs on the bar (up to 32 kg on a dumbbell, for example), making it easier to adjust the load and diversify exercises. Unlike plastic or vinyl weights, cast iron can last a lifetime.
What are the differences between vinyl and plastic?
- Cast iron is less sensitive to temperature variations, guaranteeing consistent use in different climatic environments.
- Compared to vinyl, cast iron is much more resistant to knocks, drops and crushing, offering up to five times greater strength.
- Its textured surface ensures excellent grip, even when hands are wet, unlike plastic which tends to slip.
How many kilos can I add, at most, on these dumbbells?
These dumbbells can support up to 30 kg each. As the bars and nuts weigh 2 kg, you'll be able to carry up to 32 kg per dumbbell, for a total of 64 kg.
If you're looking for weights to add to your dumbbells, our cast-iron 28 mm (1042303) bodybuilding discs will be perfect. From 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 to 20 kg, you can buy just the load you need.
Train safely with this dumbbell kit
The weights are attached to the threaded bar using the nut. This secures the weights, even when you're using the dumbbells vertically. If you're doing dynamic training, you'll need to check that the nuts are tight between 2 sets, if you hear the discs clattering.
That said, a little play is normal to keep the bar easy to thread.
Easy-to-store dumbbells
This dumbbell kit is particularly interesting if you want to keep your equipment out of sight after your workouts. Simply store the dumbbells and weights in their case and slip it under a bed or in a wardrobe.
The case also makes it easy to transport your entire kit.
How to maintain your dumbbell kit?
To preserve your dumbbell kit for as long as possible, there are a few simple steps you can take.
Before storing your equipment in its case, wipe the barbell and weights with a damp cloth.
Then place the various parts of the kit back in the slots provided in the case.
Then store the case in a dry place.
Moisture is the enemy of your kit, so never store it in a cellar or outdoors.
