Not really, if someone can get a few inches off their waist, where is the waste?

Lift them up, and put them down.

It was tiring enough just writing that.

Then I don't think you know how exercise actually works. If you build or tone any muscle mass. It will use more energy at rest than any untrained muscle.
So even though these weights won't have anyone benching a car or squatting like a sumo. They will get people started. Certainly heavier than a tin of beans and at less than a third of a months Gym membership what is their to lose? An Indian for one costs more.
Even if people use these to practice form, then it's worth 10 quid. You see so many people at gyms who don't follow the right methods. Best example is always the cross trainer where it looks like a Meerkat look out had bred with Zebidee.

Not iron plates, the pro beefcakes won't like them and like most stuff bought in here will gather dust under a pile of other crud bought through HUKD.
Voted hot for cheap, burnt money.

I think you really dont know what these are used for then, if you think its going to reduce your waist size. It's more likely to gain muscle in bicep, triceps and peks,
But less than 7.5kg per dumbell, i cant see how effective this is going to be.

If anything, buy two sets of these and you'll be sorted. If you've ever tried something like p90x, you'll see guys & girls with muscles the size of trucks using 15/20kg weights because it's not about using the biggest weight possible but using the right work out with the weights you have.
This is a great price, I remember having to pay at least £35 for one set of 30kg weights....

You guys with your logic. Of course this is a good deal, and as mentioned -- form is everything, and anyone with half a brain will know more reps with lighter weights can be most advantageous.
But you're always going to get the meatheads who will criticise them being 'light' weights (when in actuality, they're pretty decent; not least as you can load up one weight). I'm also waiting for the inevitable "do you even lift, bro" comments.
Ignore them, and pick yourself up a bargain.

nice deal, someone mentioned them a few days ago in 'ask' and i was surprised at the value
they are pretty light... even i can lift them!!
but as you say can easily get more weights on them
bars are 18inch too which is a nice change (and almost needed if only using vinyl^^)
some people are strong in muscle but weak in mind so people need to think for themselves if these are a 'waist' or not
