Amazon pls introduce a No star or red star review option for such bad products.. i got the 45lbs pack n then started my math journey. It comes with 4 discs each of 2.75, 3.5 n 4.5 lbs. That totals to 43 lbs not 45. Then comes the issue of equal distribution of the weights to reach 8, 12, 15, 20 lbs of dumbbell weight for each hand. With the given discs weights you can make 7 or 9 or 12.5 or 14.5 or 21.5 lbs each to reach the closest to your needed regular weights.
Here comes the next issue. The plastic screws to tighten d weights to d dumbbells r so bad, its literally a forearm workout by the time you fix the second one. Also note the length of the dumbell bar. Pics attached. If you have to put only one disc on either side, the time it takes to screw it tight is crazy. Not to mention it hurts your thumb on the inner side n fingers. Now to change the weight you have to repeat the d whole process twice, first to remove the screws then to put them back on. There go your 5-7 mins between sets. I kid you not abt this number. Its that inconvenient. N doing it mid workout means your palms r already warm n sweaty. Now you have to unscrew n screw back. Its stupid.
Now look at the length of the dumbell rod n a 10lbs dumbbell. The pictures i have shared are 10lbs dumbbells each. Look at d heigh difference between the two coz of the disc diameter and look at d length of the dumbbell with the rod protruding outward as its meant for 3 discs to be stacked together. Now here comes d risk of injury. Bent over flye, supine flyes or reach or anything like that means d rods poking n scraping the legs n hitting the floor when handling in supine workouts. You dont get the correct position to lift these well for the fear of hurting yourself. You also are better off using gloves while lifting even the dumbbells.
I did not even bother with the barbell connect. I thought it wld be convenient to change d weights. But its not. N I don't find it any space saving either. I donot see any meaning to buying these n leaving them as either just barbell or set of dumbbells coz moving between the weights is not convenient by any means. N who works out with weird dumbbell sets like 21.5 lbs each which is what the weight distribution is when u put each disc on either side of d dumbbell, using up all the given 4 discs of each weight. I rather straight just buy a set of 20lbs or 25 lbs dumbbell.
