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

Good price ,will be a few on gumtree for a tenner by march though.:wink:

​And award for moronic post with absolutely no point or relevance got to this clown.
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.

12.5k? Ok for girls I suppose.

But I'm a pro! I only want "pro" fitness stuff!
What's the alternative to "pro" fitness anyway? Are they selling a line of adjustable baked beans cans?

doesn't seem to be stock anywhere in the country?

For ladies only

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.

£40 off was before Christmas think it's now only £20 unfortunately :disappointed:

Can only find £20 off not 20% making 2 £179.97. Am I missing something?

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:

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!).

I do. Thanks for asking.

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

Out of stock in East London

I find decathlon ones quite fast to change, don't tighten them too much (don't needed for the amount of weight) and in 10sec you'll manage.
20kg kit with suitcase = £29.99 http://www.decathlon.co.uk/20kg-suitcase-kit-body-training-id_8018574.html
10kg kit = £9.99 http://www.decathlon.co.uk/10-kg-dumbbells-set-id_1042451.html

I still don't get how these work. How does the weight adjust to heavy and lighter if it's all one unit??

Stock In Harlow, Essex

Only shirts , does that count ?

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

Out of stock everywhere. Should be marked as expired

​you sound like you're in the middle of a mid life crisis, son.

wind it in.

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...

Great price if you're not bothered about the low weight limit.

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.

"A whopping 12.5kg". Was this sarcasm?

I wouldn't waste my time.

Weights for ladies. Cute.

Heat added as it's a good deal

12.5kg is ideal for the average 12 year old. get some heat!

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.

Wrong adjective.

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

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.

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.

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.

OOS

do you even lift bro

Just to put this into context, if you wanted a 24kg pair of Bowflex ones you're looking at £400..

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..

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!

can't find any stock from Kent to London :disappointed:

Screw ones are always cheapest :/

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.

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.

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?

No stock Glasgow. I checked last week and there was loads, must have sold a wad the last week or so >>>

decathlon do a really good set of 2x10kg for around £20 last I checked; so long as you don't mind the screw on style

£1 per kg is a good price for plates, these are gimmicky and overpriced

cold no stock anywhere

Good price ,will be a few on gumtree for a tenner by march though.:wink:

That's a dead good price. Massive heat for finding it

Peng deal brah
