The ‘Nubells’ room
Nubells are a uniquely biomechanic tool for developing strength. Compared to normal dumbbells, Nubells feel far more comfortable to handle, making workouts much more enjoyable and impactful. Medically, they are protective of our joints as humans. The circular rim of weight distribution around the loaded joint provides an environment of excellent biomechanical cartilage stimulation.
