Boasting 5 different weights in one dumbbell, from 2.5kg through to a whopping 12.5kg, this set has everything you need to strengthen and tone your body.
reduced to £32.99 for one, but you save another £20 when you purchase 2, so 2 for £45.98
good for a beginner

Most dumbbell sets are adjustable, you shouldn't have to pay anything close to 45 quid for 2 x 12.5kg dumbells.

Go send your essay to the teacher as I couldn't give a toss.
These weights are light and overpriced especially when you can get plates for under a tenner and as I stated adjustables are great for space saving so sit down, now off you pop professor.

Find a cheaper deal for ones as good as this then.

it is all about timing. in those you can change weight in 3 to 6 seconds between exercises.
with classic ones you will need to full assembly.
have similar model with double weight of that one. very happy

£1 per kg is a good price for plates, these are gimmicky and overpriced
Danze1984
7 Jan 171#10
What's the deal with these? They are just quicker to change than a standard plate? You tend to get a minute between sets anyway, so don't get why changing the weights needs to be so fast? And double the price of a normal set of dumbbells, are they really worth it?
afroylnt to Danze1984
7 Jan 17#12
changing plates is a pain so they are worth it but the drawback that 12.5 isn't that much so you would most likely need one heavier set anyway. Still its a great price if you can find some.

adjustable are excellent for saving time but more important space but these are very light and never seen ones so light . A good pair should cost you from at least £200 up to over a thousand for top of the range.
These are to light for a man but maybe ok for light lifting for women.
Oneday77 to nexus76

And the Sterotype of the year award goes to....Nexus76.
Just because a lifter would find these light after a while. Many people would still have a use for them. They are ideal for any gender, especially anyone wanting to get a little definition or anyone doing some physical rehabilitation.
Also if used properly with correct form they will last longer. Doing it right is harder but doesn't have the same bragging rights for heavier weights.
I should also add. These while not in use are safer than a small stack of loose plates. Anyone with kids will appreciate that.

With spin locks or normal bar and collar weights you need to store the weight plates which takes up space and you also have to go about changing the weight with every workout. Going from heavy weight to light weights can be annoying when you get more advanced. Adjustables are generally compact and easy to use, there well worth it if your serious about working out but for me personally the weight on these is to low but would be a good investment for someone who is just getting started.

Not trying to discredit this deal, I voted hot for what they are, but just another option for those that are in look for cheaper all metal weights. I too would agree that the screw ones are really poor and continually need tightening.

12.5kg is no way near heavy enough for any kind of progression, I would imagine a lot of people would out grow this weight quite quickly.
DocRobotnik to paperwings
8 Jan 171#27
Not at all. Not everyone wants to look beefcake. The are great for toning
York so some but they are cheap imitations and get very rusty on the handles from sweating.
There's a stand you can get which is recommended and holds the weights at waist height for you.
Even with the best ones you have to get used to lifting them out correctly to get the plates to latch on as they should.
I decided against them when I found that I couldn't be bothered to use my home gym and the membership was the better route.
I'd make sure I had a wide range of dumbbells and was seriously into working out at home with a decent of period of time before taking the plunge. They do hold their value well though on eBay if you were to sell them off.
For £46 even as a way of getting shot of your 4 lightest set of dumbbells and to see whether this kind of setup suits it's a throwaway price comparatively.
The obvious drawback is the resetting time needed which can mess with your flow if you're doing quick circuits or supersets though.
Also I wouldn't want to toss these on the floor after a heavy set if I've paid £700 for them!

I don't think it's too much of a stereotype to say these weights are not meant for male adults. Nexus probably wasn't thinking about use for rehabilitation.
These dumbbells are great for a home gym though. Easy and tidy.

Wrong adjective.
Hand to replace the little weights and you can always buy some proper ones later I suppose.

I suspect the vast majority of people do not train regularly and therefore this weight done with proper technique would be fine for most e.g. no rocking, arching the back or rotating the shoulder for a curl.
They of course could also be used for reverse curls and tricep throwbacks for example and i reckon Joe Average would struggle with thise exercises at this weight. Ideal for ladies i guess.
I have a set of Powerblock U90s (mega bucks) but find it a pain to keep changing the weights and so I also have fixed dumbbells. Personally I prefer a fixed weights but you would have to fill your house with various sets and quality dumbbells cost hundreds as the weight increases.

These are a waste of money for the Kg's included. When would you realistically use anything below 10kg? I'd use these for rear delts and thats about it as they require tiny weights.

Good deal, they don't have any in my area, which is probably good as I already have the 25kg adjustable ones but still would have been tempted to buy these as they are so cheap...

This weight is ok, if done with high reps of 30 reps or more. But the price for this is id good, but i would opt for getting a set of dumbbells for £20 less for same weight

I still don't get how these work. How does the weight adjust to heavy and lighter if it's all one unit??
brilly to Eez1
11 Jan 17#45
its separate pieces, depending on weight selected it picks up different amounts of the weights
edit; looks like you can only choose mutliples of 2.5kg though so perhaps more limited use than previously thought
tbh its a decent deal if you can live with those weights, 25kg for 46quid is more than a usual hot deal for regular adjustable types but its not outrageous.
these are only suitable for women I would say, too light for guys, I'm a gal and I use anything from 5kg to 28kg in a dumbell and I'm not using them regulary either so it's not that I have built in my ability to lift these over time, weights are often an exercise I often pick up and put down...get it lol

Mens Health 25kg ones are £99.99 but £159.98 for 2 (buy 2 save 20%) for the next week.
Know that's in a different league to £45 but for those that say this is too light (and it is for lots of people and exercises but you can to good shoulder and tricep work with lower weights), this seems like a great deal (I've gradually started commenting more but have never put a deal up myself and not about to start now!).

Would highly recommend these (deal on with if you get two get £20 off ) http://www.argos.co.uk/product/2391054 expensive but it's much needed for that extra kg. 12.5kg is not good for tall/heavy guys to be honest. I'm 6ft 4 at 16.5 stone and 25kg is perfect for everything then dropping down to 20kg for triceps and that. Perfect for a pump before hitting the gym :smiley:

There's 5 special offers on the right of the page. £20 off, floor mat discount and so on. 4th one is 20% off. To be honest going that way was a bit tricky. just to try and get it to work I stuck 2 in the trolley and it worked it out. Now I have to justify them before clicking the button.

You're likely to want 41kg in all honestly if you're wanting to do chest and back exercises with it as they should give you a decent progression without running out of weight, but they're around £700..
