Wrist Weights

Find all the information you need concerning the best wrist weights to use for any situation, be it running, light jogging, or simply to workout.


A weight set refers to several free weights grouped together, either in a rack or simply on the ground. While some people want to slowly purchase weights as their needs improve, which seems to be a cheaper alternative from the get go, nothing is farther from the truth. Similarly to any other product, if you buy by the bulk, you will most likely get a considerable discount if you wish to purchase more weights right off the bat.

Some manufacturers offer this alternative by providing weight sets, which are sets of weights ranging from 2lbs to 15lbs generally, however we have seen an adjustable weight which could be considered a weight set on its own, the Powerblock. This magnificient piece of art will allow you to go from 10lbs to 50lbs on each dumbbell, and is considered a weight set on its own. Should you desire more flexibility, there is an add-on available, which will provide for you that 60 to 100 lbs range. We have those at home, and have been using them for various circuit trainings which require weights, and for both fat loss and muscle gain objectives.

If you’re willing to invest several hundreds however, you can find professionnal weight sets, similar to those found in gyms, which generally come with a weight rack and can be fixed to the ground or not, at your convenience. While alluring, this option is expensive. You can also go for the adujstable weight sets, which generally include a large barbell and free weight plates that you can manually screw on and adjust at your convenience. This is the “old school” alternative.

If you are willing to go this route, we definately recommend extensive shopping and price hunting, as a lot of people are competing to sell you these. Make sure you prevail yourself of some special offer, otherwise it is probably not worth it to front all of this money right off the bat to purchase the entire weight set, it is probably preferable to purchase weights one by one.
