Any man dreams to look like Apollo. Unfortunately you don’t come to this word looking like this, but fortunately you can become one with the help of trainings in gyms or at home. Dumbbells will be a Super Gift for your Man. But how to know which are the good ones?

When choosing dumbbells, weigh disks and bars, first pay attention to the diameter of the plate and the clip. Among the clips, main representatives are threaded ones, those with springs or screw stops. What to choose depends on your personal preferences. Normally all of them are equally safe.

An important characteristic is precision of foundry. When you train with relatively small weighs these deviations are almost unnoticeable, but during the competitions when people compete for every gram, one needs very precise weigh of disks. Professional dumbbells are several times more expensive, than normal ones, so buying ultra precise weights for trainings is senseless.

One more distinguishing property of the disks is their protective surface. On its quality depends durability of your dumbbells. For, no one wants go wash hands from rust or see his disks go rusty. To avoid this, manufacturers use three types of surface: chromium-plating, painting and rubber lining. You can also find plastic disks with different filling, but this is a whole talk apart.

Chromium-plating of good quality is one of the most lasting. Its mirror surface gives to your gym the air of posh and cleanness.

Painted disks look some simpler and are sold lower price level. And they are the most vulnerable as for longevity. First of all pay attention to the quality of painting. If you have some doubt or paint is peeled off in some places, than choose the item of better quality of another label. Nobody likes old-looking stuff.

Rubber lining is the most popular type of surface. Such disks can be seen even in the oldest gyms and they look like new. Their advantage is soft surface that doesn’t damage floor, they last long and tidy look. Bright colours may give positive air to your gym. But be careful even with them. When buying unknown labels, pay attention to the quality if the rubber. Pinchers shouldn’t stay after you press it and parts of rubber shouldn’t stick off.

Bars. This is the most important part of such apparatus as weight and dumbbell. Their choice is very numerous. Beside weigh and size they can also differ in sling-dog. This is necessary for work on different muscle groups. Generally they are chromium-plated and have cuts not to slide during exercise performance. Before buying dumbbells, check if they are convenient to hold. Dumbbells with flat plastic-covered handle will soon slide out of hands. Rugged handles are more reliable, but can provoke corns. To avoid corns, use weigh-lifting gloves, that also fix wrists.

Muscles grow thanks to the load that body receives in the exercise. If after certain number of turns you don’t feel that muscles are tired, so increase the load. So, sportsmen with big ambitions buy dumbbells with a set of disks of different mass. To increase load progressively, you will need disks weighting 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 kg. For the complex training of all the groups of muscles of the body when you need to change loads for every group. The quickest dumbbells to change are those with spring clips. Though, in difference to other less convenient clips that are screwed on the bars or fixed with a special key, they are quickly worn out and need regular replacement.

Dumbbells is a Super Gift for Men. But the main thing is presenting them in such a way for him not to think you consider Him weak. Switch on your imagination. Or better go and buy them together (not every lady will be able to bring them even to the car, believe me.
