20KG Dumbbell Set

Product Information

Holding a dumbbell in each hand as though you’ve just finished a bicep curl, and with your palms facing your shoulders, push the dumbbells up over your head while rotating your arms until your palms face away from you. Straighten your arms, pause, then reverse the movement and repeat. The latest evolution of the humble dumbbell, these innovative bits of kit allow you to change the resistance of your weights with minimal effort (just what you want between energy-sapping sets).

In fact, dumbbells are tested in a home environment to ensure they perform well in the surroundings they are supposed to be used. We look at performance details as well as how convenient it is to use and store the dumbbells. How to buy the best dumbbells for you For cardio or HIIT workouts where you’re looking to torch fat and use weights as part of the exercises, the Domyos Threaded Weight Kit is ideal. It provides plenty of options to thread your own choice of weights on, up to 10kg per dumbbell, and then use them as part of a workout.

Typically, a dumbbell will either be rounded or hexagonal, the latter being the smart choice as it doesn't roll away when you put it down. It's also perfect if you fancy using a dumbbell for press-up variations. Secondly, the weight is particularly important, especially if you opt for a fixed dumbbell system, which can't be adjusted or added to.

Around 50% of adults say that they don’t have time to go to the gym regularly. This means that almost half of the population are missing out on the excellent benefits that come with being a gym-goer. So what's the solution? One option is to bring the gym to you at home! EXERCISE AT HOMEEqually, loosening the weights is a breeze, and the collars take just a few seconds to undo. In fact, I timed how long it took to add one 1kg weight on to each side of the bar – 37 seconds in total to undo both collars, add the weight and re-tighten the collars. You can do so much more than just curls with the best dumbbells. Most people will probably associate dumbbells with bicep curls, but these weights can train so much more than just the front of your upper arm. Biceps are overrated, hear us out! Below, our expert testers at the Men's Health Lab and our own experienced editors have compiled a list of their best adjustable dumbbells for building muscle, strength, endurance and power from the relative comfort (if you'll allow us to call it that) of your living room. Don't say we don't spoil you. The Domyos Threaded Weight Kit comes in a plastic carry case that holds all the parts in a moulded interior. Open it up and inside you get 4 x 2kg weights, 8 x 1kg weights, plus two bars (2kg each) and 4 x rubberised collars to hold the weights in place on the bar.

The build quality of this weights kit is high. It may not be the most expensive on the market but, as they are cast-iron weights, you can see and feel the quality. The adjustable dumbbells that passed our rigorous testing are stamped with our MH Lab Approved badge. The other entries have been carefully chosen by our editors after impressing them during home gym pump sessions. Then, let’s talk about the weight-changing mechanisms. Some adjustable weights allow you to change the weight using additional plates that can be fixed to the bar as needed, whereas others have an adjustable plate system built in that uses a dial to alter the required weight before you curl or lift easily. The second option is more efficient (you won’t have to stop mid-workout to screw and unscrew plates off and on), but they cost more. FAQ Are adjustable dumbbells a good investment? The SelectTech 552 are our favourite adjustable dumbbells out there simply because they offer weightlifters everything they need, especially those into fast-paced HIIT or intense'drop set' workouts.

The other problem with cast iron dumbbells, as mentioned, is their potential for damaging hard floors – in particular wooden, tiled or linoleum surfaces. If they slip out of your hand, or you drop them from a height, you could cause damage to the floor and potentially the weights.
