A 7.5 kg dumbbell is one of the heaviest weights that are available in the market. They feature knurled steel grips for a secure hold. The protective, rubberised end is designed for durability and protection. The hexagonal ends have been shaped to stop weights from rolling. It is difficult to find work outs that will challenge this weight, limiting its usage to specific exercises. The weight tends to get slipped and choked, so it cannot be used without assistance while exercising through movements like bicep curls or triceps pushdowns. Yes, but more importantly, using 7.5kg dumbbells is excellent for working on and perfecting your technique. When you are doing exercises correctly, you will more likely avoid injury and, in turn, have a better workout! Resulting in more efficient strength and muscle building.

Run some tap water over it afterwards, dry off and let air-dry for a few hours before putting it away in its storage bag. Now, you've probably sussed that this won't be the same weight for everyone and you're right. Depending on your strength abilities and weight training experience, it's probably better to plump for something slightly lighter – up to 5kg range – if you want to try something slightly heavier you can always hold both in one hand and perform single arm movements.
