Strength training is a vital component of any triathlete\u2019s training regime, helping with technique, performance and injury prevention, but too many of us neglect it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why many coaches recommend following a well-rounded strength and conditioning plan<\/a><\/strong> either at home or in the gym.<\/p>\n

Alongside resistance bands<\/a><\/strong> and kettlebells<\/a><\/strong>, adjustable dumbbells are one of the best pieces of kit to help you do exactly that. This is our guide for what to look out for, plus some options you may want to consider.<\/p>\n

Why buy an adjustable dumbbell?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the biggest advantage of gyms is the access you get to different weights, allowing you to progressively overload different movements and develop your strength by increasing how much you\u2019re lifting.<\/p>\n

But gyms can be expensive, busy and, if you don\u2019t live nearby, it can take up a lot of time getting to them. That\u2019s where adjustable dumbbells come in, as they allow you to work out at home, while still being able to increase the load you\u2019re lifting.<\/p>\n

Plus, rather than a clunky rack of expensive dumbbells, which take up space and mean you have to purchase a new pair every time you want to change weight, adjustable dumbbells fit a range of weights as a set of attachments.<\/p>\n

While they may appear expensive at first, the upfront cost will likely save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n

Types of adjustable dumbbells<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are a few different main types of adjustable dumbbells, varying based on the mechanism used.<\/p>\n

  • Dial<\/strong>: The dial mechanism is a contraption that allows you to spin a dial to select the specific weight. While the weight is racked, the correct number of plates will be selected for the necessary load.<\/li>\n
  • Digital<\/strong>: Is even turning a dial a little old school? The most technologically-advanced dumbbells take adjusting weight to a whole new level. The plates will automatically attach to the bar at the touch of a button, saving you precious energy between sets.<\/li>\n
  • Screw\/Spinlock<\/strong>: The traditional style of these dumbbells is often testament to their reliability and longevity. The task of loading up the plates and spinning on the screws can be arduous, but with a good pair can be versatile and good value for money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
