If you have tried using both plated dumbbells and fixed weight, it won’t be hard for you to distinguish that it is much better to use fixed weights, especially in your home gym. There are advantages to using plates, one of them being their ability to take up lesser space. This is a feature that normally attracts customers to the plated dumbbells. Another attractive trait of plated dumbbells is also their affordability. But after these two aspects, there seems to be none left.
Fixed weights are more superior to plated dumbbells in several aspects. For one, plates always tend to come loose when you come to the middle of your set. This can be very troublesome and time-consuming since you will have to tighten it in between each exercise, instead of using the time for stretching or keeping your heart rate up. If you are also working out with another person, plates are absolutely a bad choice unless you share the same physical strength with your gym buddy. It is highly time-consuming to have to change the plates around after each exercise. This is already an inconvenience for one person, what more for two. Fixed weights will lift this burden off your shoulders.
With fixed weights, you will be able to have the convenience of putting down weights when you’re done with them and simply pick up another set. You can do your sets with lighter weights or heavier weights alternately without having to spend so much time replacing plates.
Fixed weights are also much less bulkier that plated dumbbells. If you try to do an overhead extension with big plates, you will see how uncomfortable it is. Fixed weights are also better in aesthetics. With a proper stand to set them on, you will find that it will look more professional than just your simple home gym. It is true that plates take up lesser space, but you will still have the plates to worry about and they always tend to end up scattered around the floor. You will definitely find a more organized home gym with a fixed weight set.
Investing on weights for your home gym is very convenient and it will definitely save you money in comparison to having to join a gym. Be sure that when you buy your weight set, be willing to spend a little more to be able to attain the most effective and most convenient weight set.
