Can you start at a lower weight (i.e. 1lb) then add more weights to increase the total weight?

Yes. You can start with just 1 bar if you want and add them back in gradually.

There are 10 weights, each one pound. So yes, you can start at one pound by putting one weight in each cuff.

yes -- there are 5 individual weights (1 lb each) that can be removed from the pouches

Yep. You'll need to purchase some washers from a hardware store to use as more weights though. Like 8 or 10.

yes. either bands or free weights. i find weights easier than the bands to use. you can start with something relatively light and buy more as you get stronger.

There are 4 levels of weight, from light to heavy (0 to 3). You can change it by yourself.

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

yes you sure can add weights differents than the gold gym's, bars are about 1 1/2 inch diameter

Yes. When you increase your strength with the workouts, you can gradually introduce a heavier kettle bell for parts of your workout. I started with a 5 lb and then gradually introduced a 7 lb. I am now working out with a 7 lb, but I have started using a 10 lb for a few of the exercises. Switching between two weights helps me to have a successful workout.

To your question, no. To the contrary, weights can be removed to make them lighter.

Yes you can,, it's adjustable,,,I removed about 20lbs,,,, I'm at about 35lbs currently,,, I'll add another 5lbs beginning of year,,, I'll gradually increase to the max weight,,,,,,,, the weighted bars are roughly 3lbs each

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.

Yes, buy the Body Solid Home Gym Extra Weight Stack as referenced in my review. It adds 50lbs to the included weights, which is plenty of weight for a large user. I suggest just getting it when you order the machine as the included weights are easy to outgrow. I am 200 lbs and pretty fit and with the extra weight pack, I cannot max out the machine. Hope this helps!

The elite also have 2 2.5lb add-in weights for each dumbbell. The classics do not. So you end up being able to create more dumbbell weight combinations.

You can, but it might require some reshuffling of weights as the expansion are single blocks of metal.

I believe that you can ... it is very sturdy and made to tolerate high weights. However, I see another person answered that there might be a "minimum" weight, so you have to just try it out. I have not tried to weigh anything except myself.

You are the weights. To increase the weight you raise the incline to increase the effort required to complete each exercise.

Yes, but that's the total amount of weights available to put on ONE weight. Amazon's version - the one I bought - says it goes to 8 lbs. Again, for one weight -not both of them that you'll typically need when you work out. For that, you can only put a max of 3 pounds on each weight. I really wanted 5 or 8 lbs to work out with per hand weight. That was a bummer. When I went to the website the kit recommends so I could just buy more disks to screw on the end to get the 8 per weight - geesh - they wanted about $26 to send 4 more! That's almost half the cost of what I got this entire kit for! Yes, but that's the total amount of weights available to put on ONE weight. Amazon's version - the one I bought - says it goes to 8 lbs.

Hello. You can do both to start the scale. I just step on and it works everytime.
