I ordered a pair of these from Walmart twice and the number stamped (35lbs) was upside down. I returned them. My question is the stamping facing the correct way/ consistent with all other dumbbells.

i bought a bunch of them, different weight, and did not see any irregularity on them. They are really nice and sturdy. i Love them and I have about 15 pleope training on them and they still look like new and everybody "enjoys" working with these.

The ones (10, 15, 25 lbs) I ordered from Amazon were all facing the correct direction/orientation. They came as single, so I had to order two of each, but all six are consistent.

Mine was even, but you use the dumbbell weights so if those are off balance it will only continue.

Mine came straight as well. I think these are cheaper than bent ones as I ordered two brands, one straight and this one supposed to be bent. Going to talk to customer service and get the either replaced or returned. The SKU number is different on the picture and on the package I received. Very disappointing!!! Feeling like doing single star review...

I use the following: Stamina 50-Pound Versa-Bell II Adjustable Dumbbell PairI purchased these from Amazon. They randomly go on sale for $189.99, which is a steal.Use nukeprice.com to keep an eye on it.

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!

There not what you think. There not the quick adjustable ones. I ordered these and got a bunch of boxes with regular weights, bars, and locking nuts. Just like regular Dumbbells. Spin off the nut remove desired weights and spin nut back on.

Why should you not could make plank row type exercise with these water filled dumbbells? But maybe they are not that handy for they are quite big when filled up. The waterfilled dumbells may be inappropriate for this type exercise, because small light dumbells are what the most people choose to use. To get the right amount of weight you may have adust the 4 dumbells to exact the same, this can be tricky.If they would break or leak? I guess not. They are what they are, and the quality of them are quite good. I use them only when i´m travelling. Cheers

I used a pair of 90 lb. dumbbells and there was no issue. However, using the hooks takes some practice. Like any new exercise, start with lighter weights until you get used to the range of motion. I found that putting the hooks back on the bar was awkward at first. Sighting the bar and aligning the hooks takes some practice.

The shipping weight is 25 lbs., which would mean one dumbbell. I just checked and in 2010, I purchased a set, which was two of these, for what they are asking for one. Obviously, the recession is over!

Mine wasn't upside down but it was crooked inside the box. It still worked though.

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.

The padding are not that thick, but they do a good job of padding your palm and help with griping. I haven't notice any issues with dumbbells or barbells during my work out. Hope this help narrow you in the right direction.

I have tested this to 8,000 pounds and it holds. For heavier dumbbells I puff up my lats and rest my arms against them for the perfect support. You should be fine, go for it.

What I do is tilt the dumbbells at about a 45 degree angle so I can set them on my lap. That way the locking mechanism doesn't really dig in in an uncomfortable way. Maybe that'll work for you too?

You'd have to call them and ask. I've thought of it myself when I bought it, and it has holes for a second one, at least mine does. I was going to see if they'd send a new chin up bar if I claimed the one I had was warped, but after I got it I didn't find it necessary, and the one that's there I occasionally bang my head on when racking and unracking a squat, so it'd be an issue every time you got into the rack even for average height. The overall structure of the unit is pretty good without an extra chin up bar. I've had 500lbs racked without problem, and I've also done dips with my 330lb body on it by placing two barbells across the safety pins with no complaints, I've also turned the existing chin bar there into an adjustable lat/ab/tricept pull down cable machine by attaching pulleys to it. No complaints whatsoever. As long as you dont do plank pullup side twists with the bar, which would be hard to do with the rack, it will hold.

There are two options to buy - in one option the heaviest is 25 pounds per dumbbell and in the other, it goes up to 50 pounds. I have the lighter ones and am considering the heavier ones for my husband. LOVE THEM!

Hi, porchpotato. I don't own and haven't used this product, but I own a pair of similar RAWBuiltTech standard-size barbell collars. I don't have one of those interchangeable-plates dumbbell sets, but I can say this much: even a 25 LB (old) Weider weight plate and a pair of (much newer) 5 LB Weider plates (or "disks") press against the clamped-on barbell collar (when the barbell is tilted even moderately). The 35 LB weight-plate trio then causes the barbell collar to shift toward the end of the barbell sleeve, if only by a fraction of an inch. Oh, I know that virtually no-one is tough enough (or dexterous enough) to try handling and curling a 70 LB dumbbell set made with 25 LB weight plates, but I hope my reply is a bit useful ...
