David Otey, the inventor of the Loadable Dumbbell Cushion (L.D.C.), created this product to address a long-standing issue in weightlifting. As an advisor for Men's Health Magazine and a personal trainer with 15 years of experience, Otey has been lifting weights since he was 13 years old. His aspiration to build a strong physique, inspired by old-school bodybuilders, led him to serious training from a young age.
Growing up, Otey saved his money to invest in home gym equipment, including a bench press, preacher curl, and a 300 lb weight set. A Christmas gift of Loadable Olympic Dumbbells initially seemed like a breakthrough. However, he quickly discovered that using these dumbbells was incredibly painful, describing it as a "legitimate form of torture." This discomfort, a problem that persisted for nearly 20 years, lacked a viable solution until now.
The Loadable Dumbbell Cushion was developed to offer a safe, effective, and affordable option for lifters. It features increased cushioning and a wide base of support, providing a stable and comfortable experience for lifting. This design ensures that dumbbells can be used for their intended purpose: lifting, without the associated pain.
The continued existence of this problem was a disservice to fitness enthusiasts. The Loadable Dumbbell Cushion offers a clean design and a snug fit, providing a simple and effective answer to a time-tested issue. Weighing only 2 ounces, the cushion has no impact on the lifting experience. It can be easily slipped onto the end of loaded dumbbells, providing padding without affecting the amount of weight that can be lifted. This allows for a safer and more effective training session, as lifters can increase their weight without worrying about the dumbbells dropping hard on their thighs. The cushions are also easy to wipe down and clean after each use.
With the Loadable Dumbbell Cushion from AbMat, dumbbells that may have been underutilized due to discomfort can now be put back into service.
