Why does it say 40 pound Dumbell set when the total weights add up to 30 pounds?

I own two of these sets. Each bar+collar weighs 3.5 lbs so the total weight of plates, bars and collars is 37 lbs.

I put a bar with collars on a kitchen scale: 3.5 pounds. So the total set is 37 pounds. The only way you get close to 40 is to put everything in the case and carry that, which is pretty silly. So it's really false advertising.

I just weighed the two handles and they weigh exactly 5.4 Lbs. That leaves us with 4.6 Lbs to account for. That's all I got.Actually, I just weighed the full set in the box and it totals 41.8 Lbs. And the handles with the collars total exactly 7 Lbs. Again... It doesn't answer the question fully, but it gives you something to think about while you lift those 40 Lbs. Or 41.8... Or 37.. Or whatever.

I didn't do any of the weighing myself but going off of what everyone said I see it like this: 1 Handle(5lbs)+2 Weights @ 2.5lb's(5lb's)+2 Weights @ 5lb's(10lb's)= 20lb's Per Dumbbell. Left Dumbbell is 20lb's and Right Dumbbell is 20lb's. Adding the collars would actually make each dumbbell weigh 24lb's each. Again I didn't weigh anything I don't even own them....yet.

The reason is because it's 40 lbs worth of stuff. 2x 5lb bar (10lbs), 4x 2.5lb plates (10lbs), 4x 5lb plates (20lbs). Sadly that's misleading because the most you can ever have on one dumbell is 5 + 10 + 20 = 35lbs, not the full 40lbs. Someone stated that the collars add another 2 lbs, so you're looking at 37lbs max from this kit.

Probably the bar & star-lock collars are 5 pounds each; that's what I figure looking at other sets. Should total 40 lbs of lifting weight.

The weight capacity is approximately 30lbs as long as it is evenly distributed.

Each dumbell goes as 4 - 10 - 15 - 20...45. So yes; if you think about using them as a balanced set it would be 8 - 20 - 30 - 40....90. However just to be clear there are PLENTY of workout types where you use only one dumbell and not both. So I wouldn't necessarily call them increments of 10.

No idea. I weigh about 200lbs and I use 50-75lb dumbells and have no issues.

16 five pound plates, four 2.5 pound plates, and four 1.25 pound plates, plus the dumbbell and collar nut, which apparently add up to 52 pounds per dumbbell.

I am not sure, but one of the items you input when you set it up is your weight.

Yes, you can add 40 pounds (for total of 140lbs). You can buy them on the MIR website. I think its around $60-$70 for the extra 40 lbs.

No. They each max out at 100lbs per dumbbell. You have a total of 200lbs when both are assembled.

Sorry, its out of the box long time ago. Since its unassembled the box is not big at all. Should not be more than 30lbs

Sorry, I haven't used it in quite a while. But the weights are different sizes so you always have the option of making it heavier.

it was stated to the right of the picture in smaller print. On display is 1 pound weights. it isn't in the title but I double checked before I clicked on it to purchase it.

I guess by replacing the small weights on each dumbell ( 5 + 5 + 2.5 + 2.5 ) with ( 10 + 10 ) lb , you would get 10 extra lb making it 110 lb.

Choose a weight for the dumbells i.e. 25lbs per dumbell and place them on the ground, one at each end of the curling bar. Then disconnect the weights from the dumbell handle and drop the end of the curling bar into the weights and lock them in.

I have stood on it before without qualm and I weigh ~165 Lbs. (74 kg) (12 stone). It is relatively short and wide, therefore has good support. The individual drawers however probably shouldn't exceed 40 Lbs. (18 kg) (2.3 stone) and while i have never tested 40 pounds, I had a set of 15 Lbs. dumbbells equal to thirty pounds in a drawer for a short time.

it says 30lb for all the options... they probably didn't update it for every option

The ad at this link (http://myfitnessgalaxy.com/marcy-club-revolution-cycle-review/) states that it is 40 pounds. Seems about right from what I can tell.
