Dynamic Weight Control

Dynamic Weight Control was invented by Arnaud van der Veere and Henk van der Stoep in the Netherlands (The Hague, 2003). Dynamic Weight Control or in short DWC is a fitness related exercise program with free weights. The program is based on the use of 1 fixed weight plate varying in weight from 5 till 20 kg with two hand grips depending on the strength of the participant. Each movement is functional and related to daily movements or from different sports. A training session takes around 30 minutes.

Movements The weight plate follows the direction of a specific movement. We can differentiate in direct straight lines, half circles and full circles.

Speed variations DWC has 3 different speed levels. The basic movements are all done in a controlled motion, often starting slow to adjust the body to the direction and target of the movement. After the movement is perfected speeds can vary from slow to as fast as possible. An important speed variation only allowed under guidance of a controlling professionals are the so called "drops". A drop refers to a movement whereas the weight leaves the hands in a free fall and catch at the end of the movement just before hitting the ground.

Functional movements for use of recuperation and training Each movement can be used for functional and recuperative training purpose. The program supports the recovery from back, shoulder and arm & leg injuries.

Publication of this program can be found in Body Biz (January 2008)
