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.

I am 255 lbs , 30 lbs dumbbell's in each hand. That's 315 lbs total . Seems to be no problem.HO

The weight is accurate. Mislabeling and inaccurate distribution are actually illegal and punishable by law, so most of these companies work really hard to maintain correct packaging and labeling, though I'm sure there is an occasional manufacturing error.

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...

My wife used 3 lb dumbbells and thought they were too light so she upped to 5 lb weights and they seemed to do the trick. Hope that helps.

these start out 4 lb then next increment is 10, then 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 ,40 and 45. The plates on eachside are even, for ten lbs, each plate on each side is 5lbs. I am a female and have not gone above the 25 lbs for squats . the only downside is these are a little awkward in doing a bicept standing curl, I could always sit and do the curls that way. I ordered when it was free shipping and got the stand, the price could not be beat, as this set was over 100lbs delivered to my door step

I ordered 3 lbs dumbbells and that is what I received. They are 3 lbs each.

I just bought this set of weights and tried the lightest one. Not only does it not work for me, unlike you, I don't like these. I have the brand new set purchased two weeks ago. You are welcome to contact me at 920-379-9541. I'd be happy to sell you the weight you are looking for. Joan

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.

No, it's not upside down, it look like upside down because of the thumb holes. I bought these for my coin before and it work fine.

These would honestly not hold up if you ever dropped them. I wouldn't drop them from even a couple of inches from the ground, then traditional weights which are more robust and again these only go up to 90 lbs. anyways. Besides if your dropping weight then your only dropping them from a couple of inches anyways and you are obviously not playing around at Planet Fitness you actually are challenging yourself. I like these dumbbells for cutting season or for my wife to use.

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 ...

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

I actually bought my first set in 2004 the classic set and I bought the bar just to take a chance I planned on buying a new set of dumbbells but the bar actually worked with my old set which surprised me I've been in the business for over 30 years and I've never been so happy with anything as I am with powerblocks products they really take a beating I ordered the ez curl bar used from amazon to save 12 bucks and it looks like it was never used I hope this helps you just remember they only make the bars for the classic and urethane sets

I, too, have the same question as Joshia -- is it just one 25-pound adjustable dumbbell or or a 50-pound set of two? The price of $83.99 is unbeatable for a set. I thought about getting the powerblock sport 2.4 but it is too pricey. If I order it via Amazon, I WILL get a pair, right?

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!

We have weighed at home and then went directly to our gym and weighed on their balance scale. The weights "seem" to agree. We have done this several times with the same results.
