Hex Dumbbell Set 2.5-12.5kg with Rack and Bench: Full Body Workout Guide

Learn how to use the Northern Hex Dumbbell Set 2.5-12.5kg with rack and bench for a complete home gym workout. Covers exercises, weight progression, and setup tips.

What This Bundle Lets You Do

The Northern Hex Dumbbell Set 2.5-12.5kg with 5-Tier Rack & Bench is a complete three-piece home gym: a full dumbbell progression from 2.5kg to 12.5kg, a tiered rack to keep them organized, and a folding adjustable bench for pressing, rowing, and more. This guide shows you what you can actually train with it, from upper body to legs, and how to use the bench and rack effectively.

  • Hex Dumbbell Set 2.5-12.5kg with 5-Tier Rack & Bench: Includes a folding adjustable incline/decline bench and a 5-tier dumbbell rack. The bench supports flat, incline, and decline positions for chest, shoulder, and core work. The rack keeps every pair visible and easy to grab between sets, saving floor space.
  • Hex Dumbbell Set 2.5-12.5kg with 5-Tier Rack & Bench: Resistance bands are included with the bench. Adds extra training options beyond the dumbbells alone, such as banded presses, rows, or leg work, without buying additional equipment.

Upper Body: Chest, Shoulders, and Arms

With the adjustable bench, you can do flat dumbbell presses, incline presses (for upper chest), and decline presses (for lower chest). The hex shape prevents the dumbbells from rolling, so they stay put on the bench or floor. For shoulders, use seated dumbbell presses on the bench (flat or incline) or standing lateral raises. Biceps curls, triceps extensions, and rows are all possible with the 2.5-12.5kg range—enough for most beginners to intermediate lifters.

Lower Body: Legs and Glutes

Don't skip leg day. You can perform dumbbell squats, lunges, and step-ups using the bench. The 12.5kg dumbbells (25kg total) provide enough resistance for many lower-body exercises, especially for beginners or those focusing on higher reps. The bench also supports glute bridges and single-leg hip thrusts. The rack keeps the heavier pairs within easy reach so you don't waste time searching for weights.

Core and Full Body

The bench's decline position allows for decline sit-ups or leg raises. Use the dumbbells for weighted Russian twists or side bends. For a full-body move, try dumbbell clean and press or thrusters—both combine a squat with an overhead press. The resistance bands included with the bench add variety: banded presses, rows, or band walks for glute activation.

Setting Up for Success

Place the 5-tier rack near your bench so you can quickly switch weights between sets. The hex dumbbells won't roll away, so you can safely leave them on the floor. The bench folds flat for storage when not in use. Start with lighter pairs (2.5-5kg) for warm-ups, then progress to 7.5-12.5kg for working sets. This bundle gives you everything you need to start training at home without piecing it together yourself.
