      can tell hes more of an engineer than a gym goer which is fair to be honest. Feel like marketing had a say in making starting weight 2kg, he seems to have wanted a heavier starting weight.

    “NÜO Athletics started in 1997 by Tomas Svenberg who was a rower on Sweden’s national team. He realized that to reach peak performance, he had to work out at home as well. However, gym equipment didn’t meet the professional standard he needed to push his physical limits. So, he sketched the blueprints for a dumbbell that could replace an entire set of fixed dumbbells while avoiding complex weight changes - and with that, Nuobell was born.”

    Wow amazing honesty! 2.0 look really good too. I now feel a bit bad for buying cheaper Chinese copies of the 1.0, but every penny counts when you're starting a home gym. I'll buy genuine if I upgrade.

    I agree on this man’s character! Would love to have more product builders be like him.
    I prefer the original design over this new one.

    Great interview, Coop! Marketing crew looked like they were keeping a close eye 👀 on things but kudos for pushing.
