Do the collars stay locked pretty well? One of the complaints of most standard dumbbells is that the collars loosen during sets...

I haven't had a problem with them. I always double check on each set just in case. I use these dumbells all the time, very happy with them.

Remember that you are dealing with adjustable plates as long as you tighten them hard they should stay but always make sure after each set they are firm to prevent serious injury.

Yeah they loosen up but not during sets. You have to to re tighten them often but it only takes a second. They are definitely worth the buy.

I have had the dumbbells for nearly a year and I am having racking problems out of the pair; they hang up, weights fall off, or just will not pull out when you adjust weight settings.

I'm not 100% sure! I think if the dumbbells are flipped over, you should be okay! They just slide off if they are in the position to switch them...at least that is what I have experienced!

They have large hooks that hang rom the barbell like say, in the bench press position allowing you to position and ready yourself to lift off just as in a normal barbell bench press. vs. the old school way of kick ing them up and balancing them before you even begin to press. A real energy saver if and when you begin to start using heavy dumbbells for workouts.

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

Yes, the dumbbell bar would hold. It would probably consist of 4 ten pound plates on each side with the remaining plates and bar and collars adding up to 100 pounds.

I have had them for about a month and a half and been doing p90x with them. I have had no problem with them and no injuries. I would not drop them but on the other hand you shouldn't drop any dumbbells. I am glad I bought them.

It does, for me. I use double bands on mine. When I do the reps, I feel tension on my neck. Tightens the neck muscles and skin in my case.

I have not made the collar tight enough to stay on the back of the neck. The collar migrates to underneath the neck while the dogs are playing. I think they respond well because it is not painful but irritating. They can't quite figure it out so they just mind your command and continue playing.

Sure, there is a low pulley on the back of the machine where you can do low rows. It comes with a 20 inch straight bar for your seated rows. The Olympic set comes with collars, yes. Just let me know if I can be of more help. Best Regards, Andy

No. They do not.I use it with Pilates and in place of some exercises that I would normally use dumbbells.

I have had these dumbbells for over 4 months. They are heavily used, and I have had no chipping and have seen no black paint. The chemical smell they have when you first open disappeared in a couple of days after airing out in my garage. Very pleased with them. You can't beat them for the price.

Why wouldn't they be? I think they're safer than not using hooks at all. You don't have to kick the dumbbells up with your knees over your body just to get your bench press started. They're already up there. There's less chance of injuring your shoulders or your elbows. I share mine with other guys every week using different weights. I've never seen or heard any comments one way or the other. We usually alternate, using the barbells one day and the dumbbells the next time.

They do stay secure in a gym. I work out three times a week with them and they're great. I recommend them.

I'm in the gym about 6 days/week doing weights and 45 min. cardio sessions, and they've held up pretty well. I'm a heavy sweater and haven't had any problems. I've had them about a month.

No, the dumbell comes with a pair of collars, which you can kinda see in the picture.

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking if the dumbbells are fragile - no. Prone to injuries - no more than any other use of free weights. But these dumbbells are larger and a little more awkward to use than individual weight dumbbells. This is because you have the option to have s weight from 5 to 50 lbs on one bar.
