First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzfaq.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

Even though it might be a bit more challenging because they’re indavidual pieces, I use these; as a skinnier newbie to lifting I find this exercise amazing for me because I can use lighter dumbbells, normal barbells usually weigh around 20 kilos and my chest cannot handle these (keeping proper form) on an incline so these are amazing, if you’re a newbie and wanna build up to using a barbell I would recommend these highly

Idk man… I became obsessed about keeping those blades pinched back on all press moves. But specifically through incline movements I created a horrific shoulder impingement (by not allowing the shoulders to roll forward at all). Took months to recoup and workout without funky pain. Decline, straight presses, totally fine. But be super careful pinching shoulders back when doing incline presses.

@MindPumpTV 6 жыл бұрын

Calvin Cooley depends what you mean by “great deal” . It’s at a 30 degree incline to the chest to shoulder ratio is probably close to 70/30 split . A flat bench would be even more chest . A steeper incline would be even more shoulder . It’s all relative to the angle of the bench and it’s impossible to isolate the chest. The shoulders will always play a role

@calvincooley1074 6 жыл бұрын

Mind Pump TV If the bells are always kept at a 90 degree angle during any Dbell chest movement the shoulder involvement can be reduced by approximately 95% IMO. In this video I'm noticing that at your profile shots show your elbows lining up more above the nipple line closer to the shoulder line, indicating more shoulder involvement. If the elbows are always lined up with the nipple line on on all Dbell chest press movements then the energy has a better flow through the shoulders to the chest. "Straight across" (as if grabbing a straight bar) Dbell grip/alignment allows the elbows to creep back to line up with the shoulders, thus sending energy to and not through the rotator. 27 plus years of weight training with no training related injuries. I'll also add that I'm a paraplegic of 30 years as of 8.10.18. so I'm sure that you'll get how important it is that I protect my shoulders. Thank you.
