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.

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!

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.

These dumbbells are pretty sturdy, with the ability to adjust to different weights. I especially like that they have the 2.5 and 1.25 lbs option. It comes in 2 separate boxes (1 per dumbbell), so the boxes might arrive several days apart. I had 2 different tracking numbers, one for each box. The seller was very responsive, and when I contacted them that only 1 dumbbell arrived, they gave me the second tracking number, but assured me that it was on the way. Great communication from the seller, and great product overall. Glad to be back to lifting!

They are solid dumbbells held back from the fact that the fake metal coating flakes over and I often get small metal burr splinters in my hands and fingers that are difficult to remove. There are metal flakes all over my gym floor.

The weights came in two separate boxes and were packaged well. I would highly recommend these for any basic setup at home. They might not be as comfortable as solid, one piece weights; however the convenience of adjusting the weight without having to purchase and keep 20 individual weights is awesome. Ive used them for about 6 months and am very happy with the durability and ease of use. Keeps ya in shape and are perfect given that your using them the right way xD. Thank you Amazon for another great product!
