1. Barbells, Dumbbells, Olympic Barbells:
Your weight lifting workouts are solely dependent on what type of weights you are using. At first, work your way up with the standard dumbbells and barbells of regular weights.Once you are in tune with these basic weight lifts, you can take it to the next level of powerful deadlifts, using olympic barbells.
Olympic barbells are longer and heavier, and meant to utilise more strength out of your body. Only the experienced lifters know how these olympic barbells are excellent fat burners as well.
Our Gym Olympic Weights Pack will give you the necessary back up!
2. Smith Machine:
Barbell squats can be dangerous if you, by any chance, drop the bar on your head or shoulders! No doubt, weight lifting is pretty risky!
A Smith Machine helps you to do weight squats, safely and efficiently. They are compact, compared to other racks, and has holders to mount the barbell, in case you seem to stagger under pressure.
Our latest HD Smith machine is made from tough materials, and has excellent durability; that too at an affordable price. It is the perfect choice for you!
3. Power Racks:
When performing strong deadlifts, or tough bench presses, a power rack is a must have equipment.These racks have holders and height controllers, so that you can mount your barbell at your convenient height.
They are excellent for all types of weight lifting exercises. Some of them also come with pull up bars. And, needless to say, you can also safely rep up heavy weight squats in them.
We offer power racks as an inclusion in our gymware packages.
4. Cable Machine:
Stacked up with adjustable weight plates, the cable machine is second to none, when you are keen on exerting tension in your muscles.
The continuous pulls will be addressing your muscles like no other exercises.
Plus, these cable machines can be customised to be used for suspension training as well. Our single cable station is bound to get you started with cable exercises, at a pocket friendly price.
5. Adjustable Bench:
Next in line, you need to have a multipurpose adjustable bench, for doing all the presses, without changing the benches!Imagine how annoying it would be, to switch benches in between exercises, with heavy barbells over you!
It's very old school to do your workouts like that. Our auto adjustable decline bench will give you the power to do all sorts of bench workouts, without compromising your comfort.
And, don't forget to use your body weight.
Finally, your weight training must include core body weight strength exercises, like lunges, free hand squats, press ups, burpees and so on.
The main motive of weight training is to strengthen your core. Seriously, anyone can do a dead lift or a heavy bench press, within a few days of working out.
But lifting is not everything. Preparing yourself for those hard dead lifts, during workouts, is really what matters!
As a final note, always begin your exercises with free hand warm ups, and end your sessions with cool down workouts!
