The
dumbbell
weight
has been
set to 20 lbs on one
side
and
30 lbs on the other.
The
total weight
of the dumbbell
is therefore
2,5 lbs. This 25 lb dumbbell
has the weight
dis-
tributed
such that there
are 10 lbs on one side and
15 lbs on
the other
for a total of 2,5 lbs.
With
the dumbbell
weight
configured
as defined
above,
the
user
should
grip the dumbbell
with
20 lbs on the thumb
side of the hand
and
the 30 lbs on the little finger
side of
the hand.
Start tile biceps curl with a neutral wrist and forearm posi-
tion (palm facing leg). As tile curl progresses from tile start
to finish position, tile wrist should be rotated progressively
outward
(palm up). During
this curl tile user will be lifting
the weight of tile dumbbell
(2,5 lbs) with tile biceps but also
lifting the offset weight of ,5 lbs with wrist rotation
(supina-
tion). Unlike a conventional
dumbbell
that is balanced
end
to end, this offset weight will require more muscle activation
and therefore
develop tile forearm and wrist.
Below you will find some helpful charts that will provide the
total dumbbell
weight for various
combinations
of weight
settings.
This
is just
one
example
of the
off-
set weight
settings
you
may
use.
The
weight
combinations
and
totals
are
quite
extensive
given
the
adjustment
options
of the
SelectTech
T"Dumbbell.

Use the matrix
above
to quickly
determine
the
offset
weight
selection
total
for your
dumbbell
The chart to the right is a quick reference
to determine
the amount of weight offset
to one side of the dumbbell.
The symbol
A indicates
the diflerence
between
the two weights
selected
with the
dumbbell
adjustment
knob
The symbol + indicates
the amount
of offset weight on the heavier
side of the
dumbbell.
Although you can continue to increase the amount of weight offset, it is not gener-
ally necessary to offset the weight more than 20 lbs.
