if i just put two 30 pound dumbells together would it be the same as using these push up bars?

Similar but not the same. First, The dumbbells will hurt your floor. Second, The handles have a small incline that make them more comfortable and are slightly padded.

Don't know for sure, you basically have 4-5 "slots" for ingots of metal to be inserted. So, in theory if you had bigger ingots you could at least marginally increase the weights. Would suggest buying something that is above your weight range, use fewer ingots to start and work your way up. Myself, I'm fairly clumsy, so putting the things on tight enough to keep on was a problem. A better cinching solution would be needed to make them usable for me.

Don't get them man, They're really very awkward. (try to imagine how long each bar is. They're both made to hold 100lbs in plates!) 18-20 inches long. If you're used to extending to where the weights almost touch you will dislike them. If you go straight up and down like a robot then I def recommend them. Start buying sold dumbbells one by one. It will be worth the money.

Max is 300lbs so combine your weight and whatever the amount you're putting on the bar.

Yes, they are made to work together and work just fine. I would recommend also having a deadlock, as you can't lock the push bar from the inside (for before or after your location is open to the public, but you are in the building).

If you combine all 3 bands it will provide 250 pounds of resistance or assistance. I have ordered 2 sets of these bands for my gym so far and love them - will definitely be ordering more.

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.

i have a pair of 50lbs plates i put on the bar along with a pair of 25lbs...im guessing the bar can hold up to 250lbs, but dont quote me on that

You should be able to do that. However, if you tow something heavy, the bar might get damaged.

It's not really set up for them, no. If you are a smaller frame guy u can kinda cheat and make it work. I personally use dumbells for them.

The 40lb includes the bars and other parts of the set. So when you have both in hand, all weights on the bars, you are holding in your hands 40lb. So, the 40lb is not the measurement of the weights themselves, that would make it a 30lb set, but you wouldn't be taking into account the weight of the bars which do have some weight to them. Since I had skinny arms, I had considered just starting out lifting the bars alone because they have some weight to them.

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.

It all depends on what your doing. The lower the center of gravity the higher the weight you can use. It's gets a little tipsy with sitting shoulder press but everything else seems fine. If you read the reviews i think someone claimed to put 400 or 600 lbs for a bench press. I don't see why it would be a problem unless the bar starts bowing.

Before using these, and I still do, I use vinyl-covered hex-ended dumbells to do pushups with mostly in fitness classes and at the gym. Personally it is more comfortable to be able to put your hands at an angle that you like or want to work with. I have sort of bad wrists, and doing pushups with my hands flat on the ground is not comfortable for more than a few pushups. I can do far more with my hands wrapped around a handle like these or on dumbells.

You could stack them if they were contained in a frame. But you'd probably have to weigh more than 300 pounds get some benefit by having more than one extra one. Perhaps we don't understand the question and you mean side-by-side. And again it would work if there was something to hold them in place. They are good but they should be because they aren't cheap. They're priced fairly - but not necessarily a bargain.

I don't know. I didn't check on any of the details for the chin-up bar being how I'm substituting it with resistance bands. Sorry.

yes, it will not be a problem. A good idea would be to distribute the weight among multiple support bars, not just one.
