The Clubbell Buyer's Guide

I want to begin Circule Strength Training®. Which Clubbell® weight and materials should I purchase?

Ask your physician permission to begin this type of strenuous and circular resistance exercise. Physically fit adult males get started with the Big Book of Clubbell® Training, the Encyclopedia of Clubbell® Training, and a pair of 15lbs. Clubbells. Physically fit adult females get started with the Big Book of Clubbell® Training, the Encyclopedia of Clubbell® Training, and a pair of 10lbs. Clubbells. For both men and women, these weight selections have been challenging at first but they adapted over the first two weeks or so and some were even ready for a heavier size within the first month or two.

Men with thorough strength training experience and above average strength have begun with a pair of 20lbs. Clubbells and women - a pair of 15lbs Clubbells. Competitive male power-lifters, Olympic style lifters, or experienced Iron Game athletes have begun with a pair of 25lbs. Clubbells. We would not recommend starting with anything larger than 20lbs. Clubbells regardless of your background since you will always use for lighter Clubbells in your training.

I already own my first Clubbell®. Which should I purchase next; another of the same weight or heavier weight?

The usual guideline for adult men and women building a home gym is to own at least one pair of any weight for the complex combination routines and to own at least one each of the 5-25lbs. Clubbells. After that, start over from the bottom, working on your second pair, and purchase another of each weight to complete your gym. Clubbells pairs add variety, challenge and significant gains to your programs. You can and should begin with a pair of Clubbells. Different weights help you progress in strength and fitness.

The exception to this general guideline is the person who is focused more on coordination, agility, and strength-endurance than on explosive/ballistic strength. It is perfectly possible for a male tennis player, baseball player, or wrestler to do all their work with a pair of 15lbs. Clubbells and never use a larger size. It's equally fine to stop with a pair of 20lbs. Clubbells, though the physiological and psychological benefits of incrementally increasing heavier weight should not be underestimated. Some people prefer to own the heaviest Clubbells they can manage, even if for only low repetitions.

What about the 45lbs. Clubells?

No one will use all weights immediately, so in that regard you only ever begin with one particular weight of Clubbells. However, these questions only comprise a general guideline. There is no way to compare with dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells weights, since Clubbells involve not linear strength, but elicit the unique three-dimensional, multi-planar development known as Circular Strength Training®. Therefore, without a certified instructor or coach present, you must guess which weight you can handle. The advantage of purchasing a Clubbell® Total Gym or Clubbell® PRO Gym is the ability to personally discover which weight you need to start; plus you can as work incrementally as possible through each weight division immediately as your strength and fitness skyrocket. Additionally, you will save a considerable amount of money in both cost and shipping by outfitting your personal home fitness with a complete Clubbell® gym.

Anything else I should purchase?

Can I use lightweight Clubbells with Intu-Flow® and Prasara Body-Flow™?

Intu-Flow® instructs exactly how the 3 Wings of CST fit perfectly, synergistically together, including answering this question.
