This price makes the premium chrome version of these weights more reasonable.

What a load of utter rubbish!
Matt.Wild
22 Mar 17#58
Again, utter untrue. Read the fecking studies, they disprove your theory.
I work with George Farah.
You know who he is right? He gets me doing 25 reps with legs... and sometimes more.
The science tells us:
Forty-nine resistance-trained men (mean ± SEM, 23 ± 1 y) performed 12 wk of whole-body RT. Subjects were randomly allocated into a higher-repetition (HR) group who lifted loads of ~30-50% of their maximal strength (1RM) for 20-25 repetitions/set (n=24) or a lower-repetition (LR) group (~75-90% 1RM, 8-12 repetitions/set, n=25), with all sets being performed to volitional failure. Skeletal muscle biopsies, strength testing, DXA scans, and acute changes in systemic hormone concentrations were examined pre- and post-training.
No significant correlations between the acute post-exercise rise in any purported anabolic hormone and the change in strength or hypertrophy were found.
Just give it up!

Like I said, an excess amount of reps would only help burn fat by burning extra calories, excess reps do not tear enough muscle fibre to promote muscle gain, doing that many reps will cause you to stop when short of physical energy, not when the given muscle is fatigued. You will not find a single proven workout plan designed by a professional bodybuilder with that many reps in the plan, and unless taking steroids no gains would be made in this way.

Any advice for looking after joints?
Matt.Wild
22 Mar 17#55
Sorry, not true. You are barking at the wrong dog fella. What you are saying, shows a complete lack of understanding of muscle fibres, and indeed the science the backs my statement.
Fat burning is simply taking in less calories than you are burning off, you don't directly target fat by doing high reps or anything daft as you suggest.
I coach people world wide, this is my job, and these are a few of our clients.
Look nice but not for me. I can't grip much for a few mins before the arthritis pain starts. Currently trying kettle bells because they naturally self center so I don't need to grip them hard for a few things, instead letting them rest on my palms.

don't need to go heavy on small muscle groups to get strong... strong is not necessarily gained from bulking...
Ego-X to great-deals

I agree; do the compound stuff and you work out the small muscles for free.

21 Mar 17#52
You clearly have NO fecking idea what you're talking about.
'Strong' is gained from heavy weight compound (google it - you need to) moves. Just because you've gone up from 2kg to 5kg bicep curls doesn't mean you have any authority on this subject.

21 Mar 17#50
OK I will look into it. At the mo going with the stuff above plus now slow release vit c and chondroitin. I hope this will reduce its spread by keeping the joints supplied and 'healing' as best they can while they are complete. It may be all
^^^that stuff has limited efficacy in people with arthritis because the joint is too far gone. Hope springs eternal and all that. Also going to limit myself to low weight high reps which can favor joints to heal vs heavier weights that cause damage. Will re try heavier weights in a few months when all this is in my system. Its not just my hands but elbow shoulder and...well now my lower back is aching without me doing anything to cause it.
Thanks for the lead anyway.

U mirin brah?? As someone who went to different gyms in past 8 years, tried all sorts of training programs, mainly inspired by YouTube channels, all I'm gonna say is... There is a bit more to life, than fitting in your skinny jeans and tensing your biceps in front of a mirror.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people who use enhancement drugs to get big, ripped and so on. I admire their dedication, amount of money they spent every single month on both food and roids but it is important to keep it real. You will never look anywhere near as good as those guys on the cover of Mens Health and all these YouTube idols if you want to do it naturally. You can gain strength and stamina but not muscles... seen loads of lads in the gym who been going there for years and you could hardly tell, unless you seen them squatting and deadlifting 150kg plus.
Long story short, yes you can spend £24.99 on these dumbells hoping that you will bulk up for the summer etc, but you are much better of signing up for local gym, where you will see loads of young lasses, make friends and who knows what else.

When used with extra plates these will be fine for a quick interim workout at home to supplement gym visits. You can do a useful workout in 20 minutes. I also tend to more cardio work in the gym on equipment I can't have @ home; rowing machine, stationary bike etc.
beltabry
20 Mar 17#45
Although you are correct with using different rep ranges, your suggested rep ranges are crazy, 20-25 reps would do nothing more than help burn fat. Best rep ranges are 3-6, 6-8 and 8-10 for compound lifts, and 8-10, 10-12 and 12-15 for isolation lifts. Calfs and abs are the only muscles which would benefit from over 15 reps. Often it is best to use Time Under Tension rather than rep ranges.

I haven't. There are so many 'ideas' out there it is hard to know what is worth trying. I am trying things that are OK to not much cop according to arthritis research uk such as devil's claw, glucosamine, omega fish oils. Where pain is concerned every little helps.

For those who show off and laugh at 15kg dumbell weights.
I hear that it still remains debatable whether increasing weights is better than increasing reps. Of course it does also depend on what outcome you are after, whether that be getting leaner or bulkier or just improving strength. I know people say how if you want to get bulkier quicker then try heavier weights. But not everyone wants to just get bigger. Especially with dumbells and doing bicep curls. if you keep increasing the mass of your biceps... eventually you will have problems buying shirts lol
Matt.Wild to raschoudhury
20 Mar 171#38
Actually you have type i, type ii and type iib muscle fibres.
Essentially to hit all muscle fibres you need to train at vary rep ranges, week to week to ensure all fibres are hit so you grow optimally.
I'd recommend ranges of around 6-10, 14-18 and 20-25. Legs can be even higher.

Not bad for consumer grade. But believe me, you'll out do these weights quickly. Best bet is to look on gumtree or local pickups on ebay for some used ones. Not bad for beginner though.

You could buy extra plates from ebay. Sometimes its easier to fit in a quick work out at home as well as going to a gym; all depends how much time you have.

Good value but with these weights i would suggest to put blu tack between the plates and lock (if you are not changing the plates) as it loosens very easily.

I don't even boast about lifting, mainly because I passed puberty quite a few years ago. Even so, if this is 15KG total as implied - this isn't a good price any day.
Join a local friendly gym and use their gear. I pay £200 a year for any time and all classes.
That works out at £3.85 a week or 55p a day. Non members pay £5 a session.
