115lbs vs 100lb dumbbell ✨

That weight doesn’t care how small you are, so why should you? Go for it. Train like you mean it. Train like you own it 💪🏼

💡A few tips

- use slight pause at the bottom

-grip the dumbbell tight / keep core tight

-slightly turn out your toes and find your natural stance width

-don’t chase weight, chase form. Strength will follow if you stay consistent👌🏼

... Read moreWhen it comes to strength training, many individuals focus heavily on weights rather than technique, but it's vital to remember that size doesn’t dictate strength. It's the mindset and approach to training that truly matters. Exercising with purposely chosen weights can enhance your journey, whether it's 115lbs or 100lbs. Proper form is essential to avoid injuries and achieve the best results. Incorporating a mix of both weights in your workout routine might be beneficial. The 115lb dumbbell can be used for more advanced exercises, providing a challenge, while the 100lb can aid in perfecting form, especially for beginners. Always prioritize a slow, controlled movement over sheer weight. This not only helps with muscle growth but encourages a safer training experience. The principle of gradual progression is key; never push yourself too hard too soon. It's important to build a solid foundation before increasing weights. Consider coupling your workouts with bodyweight exercises to enhance muscle engagement and control. Consult fitness professionals if you're unsure about your techniques and choices, to maintain a safe and effective workout plan. Lastly, stay consistent! Progress takes time, but with determination and the right tools, you can reach your fitness goals.
