    The looseness on the grip is to allow for the continual spin, the reason for the spin is to reduce or eliminate the rotational and inertia force that goes through your wrist and elbow on a traditional dumbbell

    Very good review. You addressed very specific questions I'd have with both of these dumbells. Great job, thank you 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

    Thanks for the video!! Exactly what I was hoping to find on RUclips. Decided to order the ELEIKO EVO Rotating ones. The Watson's are definitely beautiful, but think the ELEIKO's are a bit next level and the 1.5" grip a bit more of a better size than the 2". Still going to order a couple pairs of Watsons just to have though :)

    I think the “looseness” of the Watson handles is what accommodates its smooth rotation - that’s also why the Eleiko ones don’t rotate as smoothly.

      I advise you from experience that you should take the Watson Dumbbells as an extra addition to Dumbbells with a smaller diameter. If you had to choose, I would now, on closer inspection, opt for a grip diameter of +/- 35 mm.

      @@_Sam62 cost aside it comes down to the purpose, Iv used the thick handle dumbbells for years with all of my clients from gen pop to athletes and there is plenty of carry over, in addition to the research of training grip strength and the health benefits, as grip strength is a predictor for longevity of life.

      @@jamesburr25 If one performs a heavy dumbbell curl or a heavy one arm row, it primarily concerns the biceps and the lats (hypertrophy) and not the grip. With a dumbbell with a smaller diameter, one can take considerably more weight than with a fat grip, so the focus will then be on the actual muscle group to be trained. You can train grip with other exercises.
      But, as you indicate, a fat grip is very suitable for other sports. For example in martial arts, an average wrist circumference is also 16 cm (50 mm diameter is +/- 16 cm circumference)💪🏼👍

      @@_Sam62 Larger handles can also reduce wrist and elbow pain when doing heavy pressing and in that case the grip isn't as much of a limiting factor. So that is also something to consider. Ideally you'd get both sets of dumbbells since they serve two different purposes but that is obviously a ridiculously expensive option.

    If you only do bench presses, rows, lateral raises, french press and spider/incline curls which one of the two EVOs would you pick, the fixed one or the rotating one? May I guess you’d choose the fixed one?

    • @zealfittv3348
      @zealfittv3348  2 года назад +2

      I'd pick the fixed on because I don't like the thick handles. But for movements with rotational inertia, then I'd use the rotating ones. - AZ

      We can't say for sure. They're sold in equal amount we would say. Rotating dumbbells has its place. It does feel weird at the beginning, but you'll get used to it. Most importantly, you need to get used to the thicker grip.

    Thanks man! The difference in color between the grip of the EVO fixed and EVO rotating is due to the difference in material. The fixed is chrome-plated steel and the rotating grip is made of stainless steel. And you are right, the grip of the rotating Watson dumbbells is less pleasant for some exercises. Here a video regarding the quality of the EVO. ruclips.net/video/KZ_0_RyJHuI/видео.html
