Strength training exercises make up a major portion of some of your favorite workouts. Personal trainers also use weight training as a key component when designing their clients’ programs. Power Systems has many options available for strength training exercises; from kettlebells to resistance bands, dumbbells to barbells. However, if we were to make a suggestion, a cardio barbell set is a great option for a dynamic and adaptable strength training tool.
While smaller in size than the Olympic barbell and plates, a cardio barbell set still allows the user to customize the weight of the bar based the exercise or the goal. The “standard” size weight plates are smaller and easy to hold, allowing the user to use the plates off the bar as free weights for upper body and core strength training. Lastly, a beginner to strength training might view a cardio barbell as a less intimidating option than the large Olympic bars and plates.
Power Systems offers several weighted cardio bars and barbell sets to choose from. Let’s break down two of our most popular: the Deluxe CardioBarbell Set vs. the Cardio Barbell Pump Set.
