Getting started in weight lifting inevitably means that you’ll quickly have to make a decision about what dumbbells you are going to buy.

However, there is still a massive variety to choose from when it comes to adjustable dumbbells so it is imperative to do your research before you make a final selection.

Is Weightlifting Safe?

There has been much debate over the years as to exactly how safe the practice of weightlifting is. The reputation of the sport has been tarnished with assumptions of its dangers over the years, but to understand this reputation you would have to look deep into these claims.
