Adjustable Weight Cast Iron Dumbbells Set 105lbs

What a great set! Beautifully finished, the spin on the nuts is flawless. Besides the obvious strength-building, I learned such a cool exercise from Dr John Bergman (on youtube) that is fixing my recurring shoulder pain from a rotator cuff tear and surgery about 10 years ago. You should hold just enough weight to pull your affected shoulder back down (if your problem is weak/fragile supraspinatus, like mine), in both hands with your thumbs forward (rotating that cuff into neutral), then just very gently swing your arms at your sides just a little bit. Your goal is to go no further forward nor backward than the depth of your thighs. This pumps the tissues around the supraspinatus, the muscle that stretches from the top of the back face of your shoulder blade (right next to the spine), under the hard edge of the scapula (you can feel when your reach over your shoulder) to connect to the tip of your upper arm bone. This is healing in a mechanical way, increasing the fluid that surrounds the tendons and fills the shoulder joint. He calls it a "super filtrate of blood." The ONLY way that filtration happens is through movement. When we limit our movements to what is required most of the time our tendons literally dry out. Then they become inflamed and we are off to the races. I find that the rods alone are heavy enough to do the job. I stand with my shoulders back and ears over them, hold the rods in line with my arms, so they act like 6th fingers as I gently swing my arms subtly. You have to go slowly, giving time for the alternating pressure to squeeze molecules of plasma between the collagen fibers, which are tightly packed in a tendon sheath. You will learn all about the muscles that stabilize your stance, too, as you challenge them to hold you still against this strangely oscillating force. You want to remain aware throughout the exercise that the object is not to increase intensity in any way. I find myself giving in, sometimes, to the rhythm and exceeding the parameters. You just want to accomplish the pumping action. Not to say, after, it's not wonderful to throw an appropriate amount of weights on and enjoy them in the conventional way! (For the shoulder fix Dr John recommends kettle bells, easy to hold in the neutral position, 5 lb or so, whatever passively returns the shoulder to neutral for women and up to 20 lb for men. I'm sure those are available here on amazon, too!) At 2.5 lb, the rods alone are fine for me. It has greatly reduced my pain, both working and sleeping. And I'm starting to really feel strong in my frame, again.

Great set of free weights for the price and worth the money

Some of the plates had their paint chipped during shipping but overall their good weights for a price you can’t beat.

Good adjustable dumbbell set just some things to note, I received the package 4 days late and when I did get it the plates were a little scratched up and flakey but it doesn't really bother me. Also the grip on th e handle was a little rough for my liking but other than that pretty good value dumbells especially since I got these for only 138 bucks.

The weight is accurate and they feel very sturdy. The locking clip things work very well and definitely won’t come loose. The grips are great and feel solid. The material is great it definitely could have a bit better finish but that’s not a big deal. If you wanted you could also sandwich a bigger weight plate in between two of the smaller ones that come with those to go even heavier if you wanted. Overall these work and look great. I’m definitely very happy with them!

The weight is accurate as advertised but it looks beat up. Weights have chipped and wildly uneven coating. The handle itself has dents. I feel like I paid the price of a high end product but instead got a used item. Maybe it was from weights shifting around during shipment. If it was, they need to develop a new packaging because as you can see in the photo that packaging is horrendous. The plastic wrap on each part does nothing but adds trash for me to throw away later. Other than that, It feels like one whole solid piece when assembled. Seems durable and comes with extra rubber for the collars. It does the job. If you read other comments about receiving only one package. That’s true. If they left a 1 star because of it, they’re idi0ts for not reading the product description. If you don’t receive them at the same time, email customer service and they’ll help you get the status of the second package. A guy named James responded to me quickly and gave me the information I needed. If you don’t care how it looks. Get it. It does what it’s made to do. But if you don’t want anyone saying “you paid $200+ for this???” then get something else from some company with quality control. That’s basically my first impression, if I see/experience more things about it I’ll update this review. Meanwhile, I’ll be waiting for the second package.

They are solid dumbbells. My second pair. Not really worth this price, but you can't find anything better priced due to pandemic supply and demand. I bought an identical pair in 2016 and paid $100 for the set plus shipping. Pros: Will last forever if taken care of. Somewhat cheaper than modern quick adjustable dumbbells. Quick free shipping. Cons: Anything but convenient to adjust weights. Black rustproof enamel was all flaking off upon arrival, making a mess with use and not protecting anything. The threaded plate guards come slightly undone each set, so double check each time. Regarding seller: They arrived in separate boxes, days apart, which was a little concerning. When contacting the seller, I never heard back.

Pretty good weights. Ordered them from a third party on Amazon because everything else was sold out. Saw them cheaper a week later directly from Amazon. If you can wait for a better price, do so. Other than that the weights have been great for super sets. I'll do straight bar benching then dumbbell presses to failure. They also work on my cable machine. They're basic, but what do you really need? The paint has chipped a little, but so what. You could easily touch up the paint with a spray can. I'd purchase again, but I'd wait for a better price (yes for all brand)
