Why use a threaded 45 cm dumbbell bar?
A threaded bar lets you load more weight than a non-threaded bar which requires disc stoppers. A smart disc stopper, for example, has a max load of 15 kg in a vertical position, while a threaded bar with locknuts has a max load of 30 kg per side. This bar measures 45 cm, which allows you to load up to 60 kg on your dumbbell!
How to use your threaded bar safely.
- Do not place more than the 60 kg max load on the bar. - Make sure to tighten the screws before lifting, and to re-tighten them between sets, especially if you're doing very active exercises. - It is perfectly normal for the screws to become a bit loose as you move the bar around.
Which weights can you use with this threaded bar?
This threaded bar takes any of our 28 mm weights. Cast iron weights:
- 0.5 to 20 kg (ref: 1042303)
Rubber coated weights:
- 1.25 kg (ref: 8388222)
- 2.5 kg (ref: 8388695)
- 5 kg (ref: 8388696)
- 10 kg (ref: 8388223)
- 20 kg (ref: 8388237)
The locknuts that come with the bar keep the weights from falling off, so no disc stoppers are needed.
Store your dumbbell in a dry place!
To enjoy your threaded bar for a long time, keep it stored (with its locknuts) in a dry place. To clean it after your session simply wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Some advice from our coach on how to train with this bar
Muscle building: - Dumbbell bench press: 4 × 8-10 reps
- Dumbbell seated bench press: 3 x 8-10 reps
- Dumbbell lunge: 3 × 10 reps per leg
Toning:
- Goblet squat: 3 × 12-15 reps
- Lateral lift: 3 × 15-20 reps
- Neck extension: 3 × 15-20 reps
Always keep a 2 rep margin (from your max) and increase by one rep a week. Once you reach to the max number of reps, increase the weight instead.
