Product Information

However, the barbell squat is generally better for strength and power training and is considered superior for lower body exercises. It’s also easier lifting heavier loads with a barbell squat, where the bar is resting on the rear shoulder muscles. When it comes to using dumbbells, you can isolate muscle groups in a way you can’t with a barbell and you can stimulate muscle growth by engaging intermuscular and intramuscular coordination.

Cast iron weights are the most popular form of weight plate. Their low manufacturing costs helps keep the price low in comparison to other types of weights. Bumper Grip Weights Compared to barbells, which are mainly used for compound exercises, with dumbbells you have more flexibility to target smaller muscles – particularly the stabilizers in a dumbbell bench press, which will help correct any muscle imbalances and strengthen the core.

Using dumbbells, you can more effectively overload muscles by using single limbs and you also have the benefit of being able to work more through certain injuries, which might not be possible with a barbell or weight machine. They also provide a better range of motion than a barbell. Is It OK to Lift Dumbbells Every Day? Fully machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, the Rogue 10KG Junior Bar is a beginner’s/technique barbell manufactured with the same quality and precision as our standard competition bars. Alongside this, a key element found in muscle is protein, so you will need to significantly increase your protein intake – both through liquids in protein powder and food. Alongside a good training program and recovery periods, it is recommended that you aim to have 0.7-1 grams of protein per pound of body weight (around 1.2-1.7 grams per kilogram). Standard weights are smaller in comparison to Olympic weights and are recommended for the novice/beginner. Standard weights have a 1" diameter hole in the centre of the weight plate. Standard weight plates come in the following sizes: 0.5kg, 1.25kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg 25kg. A standard barbell maximum weight is around 120kg. Once you are lifting near this limit, you will need to consider Olympic weights. Olympic Weights Rubber encased weights are cast iron weights that are covered/enclosed by rubber. The rubber coating helps protect the weight from chipping and also reduces the chances of floor surfaces scratching or damaging. What Fitness Superstore Offers You

Equally, the main focus primarily should be on properly establishing your mind-muscle control and correct technique when lifting, rather than trying to rush to the next weight up. Couple this with the right amount of tension on the targeted muscle/s and the intensity to match, you will build strength and muscle at a faster rate – though this process can take months, depending on the aforementioned variables. Conclusion The 10KG Junior Performance Training Bar is of the same precision quality and construction as some of our most elite barbells. This is an excellent tool for the junior or beginning lifter and can be used for a variety of training applications. The distance between the collars is the same as a competition barbell, so there's a smoother transition as the lifter advances. The bar shaft and sleeves are coated in hard chrome for added durability. The Junior Bar is built with quality bronze bushings and a snap ring design comparable to our original Rogue Bar and Bella Bar. If you want a beginner's or youth barbell that delivers the durability and reliable spin of the best bars in the industry, this is your choice. However, a proper all-round training plan should still incorporate progressive overload and the use of increasingly heavier weights over time – if done safely and correctly. Weight Plates and Barbells, whether that's the Olympic, Standard or Studio variety, are favoured by the most experienced bodybuilders and weightlifters throughout the world over weight machines (such as Multi Gyms or Cable Machines). This is because weight machines are more restrictive. Whilst weight machines are still an important part of any strength training routine, they do not offer the same benefits as free weights.

Fundamentally, to build muscle, you need to put sustained pressure on said muscle and force your body to adapt. There is far less chance of injury with lighter weights, which can prevent sustained exercise. The manner in which you modify each lift can equally determine how hard an exercise is. Changing the angle, speed, and position can make even 10kg dumbbells seem heavier and still create that ‘failure’ to develop muscle growth. If you can lift more and want to build power and strength, then the average woman should aim to use dumbbells around 5-8lbs(2-3.5kgs) to start and men should aim for 8-10lbs(3.5-4.5kgs). Aim for around 15 reps over 3-4 sets, then increase over time – doing fewer reps with higher weights. How Heavy Should Dumbbells Be For You to Gain Muscle? Again, this will vary from person to person and your gender – depending on your natural strength to begin with. Barbells are a very popular form of weight training equipment. Professional bodybuilders to fitness enthusiasts in gyms, fitness classes and at home use barbells with weight plates to support their strength training goals, whether that be to build muscle or generally tone. Used with weight plates, barbells are highly effective in building your strength as they require you to utilise your stabilising muscles to lift the weights, rather than rely on weight machines, which can also be restrictive. You have to use your own power. Training with barbells also provides you with more natural movement so you can perform a wider range of exercises. Additionally, barbells are far more space efficient than weight machines, making them very handy for using at home. Olympic Barbells
