Gyronetics Dumbbell Set 30 kg Cast Iron (25 mm)

This 30 kg (25 mm!) barbell set is ideal for building muscle strength. You can adjust the barbell set to your own level, as it comes with eight 2.5 kg plates, four 1.25 kg plates, and two barbells. The plates are securely fastened with metal screw rings, which complete the total weight of 30 kg.

Too light or too heavy?

A common phenomenon in every gym is this: Fanatical, often somewhat inexperienced gym-goers perform exercises—like bicep curls—with weights that are far too heavy. Their entire body shakes back and forth to lift the dumbbell. This completely defeats the purpose of the exercise: isolating a single muscle group. Back injuries are a real risk! Considering that the world's most famous bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger, performed a large portion of his biceps training with weights of 8, 10, 12, and 14 kg, you'll realize that 15 kg per arm is more than enough weight for most people for the time being, and more likely to be too much than too little. If you do want to train heavier, you can, of course, purchase a few extra weight plates for next to nothing, which you can easily slide onto the barbells.

Various exercises

Dumbbells offer countless exercises that allow you to train virtually every muscle group. To name a few: bicep curls and triceps extensions for your arms, dumbbell presses, upright rows, and lateral side raises for your shoulders, or dumbbell squats for your legs.

Dumbbells vs. machines

The main reason many professional athletes choose to train with free weights, such as dumbbells, is the endless variety and the fact that the body isn't "assisted" by a machine, which restricts its range of motion. Moreover, when training on machines, muscle attachments lag behind in development.

The barbell set allows you to train efficiently, so that your muscles develop symmetrically.

NB: This Gyronetics barbell set consists of weight plates with an opening of approximately 25 mm and barbells with a 25 mm diameter. This size differs from the regular Gorilla Sports range, which consists of 31 mm/50 mm plates and bars.
