how much pounds are the weights
@Teekay Y I bought a 40kgs set and then got 20kgs to add.
Can this be used for squats or deadlifts?
The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.
My review:
I’ve had this product for a few months, works perfectly. I did accidentally break the handle a bit, but still functions.
It works exactly as you expect, although I’ve reached the point where the weights aren’t enough (especially for DB bench press and squats).
Conclude: definitely recommend, but do spend the extra money for the higher weights, it will come useful later.
10/10 for value
The creator of this video says it’s a bit shit quality but has good value. I’d say it’s good quality as well as good value.
It doesn’t slip, it’s not too short, it’s just perfect. I have pretty big hands as well.
wow thanks. could you possibly send the link of the dumbells you bought as not all of them on ebay are good quality despite looking the same
Im thinking of buying 20kg one.
@@ahmedaiman5258 i bought 35kg from argos for 35£ and they are amazing but idky it takes quite a long time to load on the plates and take them off
@@ahmedaiman5258 I'd suggest saving and getting a couple hundred kg olympic lifting set.
I bought a power rack with 200kg of weights to save time traveling to the gym and its one of the best investments I made.
The screwlocks at the end are on the wrong way, thats why they "fall" off easily.
You have the face of the screwlock with the most surface area facing the weight, it should be facing out wards.
1) You need the extra leverage of the wide part to screw them as tight as possible.
2) Having the small ring contacting the weight means 2 things. The gripping resistance as you tighten up the lock is lower because less material is in contact, this leads to the leverage you create from the screw being more effective.
3)Also because of these points, the turning force of the weights as you move them during exercise against the locks is less and a force lower than the one use to "lock" them in.
Thank you for explain this 🙌🏾
I bought a 40kg set for like 18 pounds, delivery included. Very good value. When I was in the UK couldn't find anything that good that cheap, glad I'm in Vietnam now which is near to China, every shit is cheap lol
Yeah you can tell that these UK sellers are literally importing it from China and bumping the price up massively
link?
18??? its like 100€ in my country
He sadly takes 4:30 to open the package
😂
Thanks.
As A person that also has ADHD, thank you
Thank you
Thaaank u
I bought those weights and the red screws don’t slide down as easily as seen in the video. I actually had to use abit of force to screw it in. So the weights are actually very secured In.
the dumb bells are metal covered in plastic and they have oil to protect the metal from rust
I think its concrete
@@uchihamadara1036 yea concrete
It has sand inside ..
Well then why do the plates have sand caps on?
@@maseratifan5941 the concrete is poured in as a mix and then is left to set inside the plastic case. The cap is where the concrete was poured in.
Theres no oil in the compartments, it's cement! My Question: Do your's leak? Do you see grey powder coming out occasionally? I had to seal mine to make sure they don't lose weight over time!
Fr Mine kinda broke and now that shit is leasing how did you seal them ?
@@averagezyzzenjoyer5630 I lifted the plug and put Pattex Contact (shoe-glue) around the edges, followed by clamping it for an hour or so. If it leaks from somewhere else you could try duck tape.
@@InTheSh8 ok thanks 👌
It’s grease not oil they put it on when manufacturing it for some reason they do it with most of them
is it actually heavy and a good dumbbell or should i just buy a metal rod and metal plates. in my country this set cost 300 plus and the metal that i would buy seperate will be 606?
Do discs from different brand fit on that?
Hey what’s the exact sets of lb (from lowest to heaviest) you make out of these ? Plz answer
5-44lb
@@ruaidhrigillen3075 thanks man
Yo how’s the set after 3 years do you still have it and is it in good condition or did it break if it did how much did it last
You can get the exact same set from geek for just under £20. Looks like someone bought it and sold it for more on ebay
Never heard of geek before tbf and I'm just happy I managed to get it for £43 instead of £63+
In the grand scheme of things, still worth it at £43 considering one month of student membership at my local gym is £35 and standard price is £50
@@MahelKhan no u cant get it on geek for 20$???
@@MahelKhan over here, its only 60 ringgit and covert it to euro's thats like 15 pounds or so
Are these weights actually heavy and how long do they last because I want to buy the 40kg set
hi i have a question is the barbell version good with heavy weights i want to get heavyer weights but the barbell is plastic and foam and im concerned it might break well using it? any advice of suggestions on what weight i can use it up to before switching to a metal barbell?
Just got this and have the same question ever figure it out?
What’s the diameter of the holes on the weight plates and would a plate with a 25 mm diameter hole fit on the dumbbell bar
It's a bar for 1" hole plates.
Well all that matters is if its Olympic plates or standard plates
I got a similar set but mine seem better quality tbf. Only dumbbells though, no attachments for a barbell. Bought nearly 2 years ago when equipment went very scarce in lockdown. They're from China (obviously). Same looking plates and weight increments. The dumbbell bars are very different to yours though, good and solid metal, they can take a lot of weight. Much better than argos opti brand weight bars which are plastic but still pretty strong. To me yours look like that strong plastic that argos own branded weight use.
I just don't like that they're so bulky with them being concrete. Also the bar sticking out the sides means that when doing shoulder presses and bench presses, the weights can't get close enough unlike a set of set weights made of cast iron. And you can't rest one side of the weight on your thigh like you can with set weights.
I only use them for certain things. They have their uses. I bench dumbbells up to 35kg and with the concrete plates I have altogether (I have some I got from argos too, was lucky to get them) I can only just fit 20kg of them on a bar and by god its bulky lol. So if you go heavy you will need to spend a lot on metal plates. Having to use loads of 2.5kg plates is daft.
I've been paying crazy money for cast iron set weights.
Thanks for your sincere review!
Thanks for the video. After you spray the air refresher spray on it, does the smell disappear? Now do you still use it, wanna check whether they are durable or not?
Yeah smell disappeared after a while and I don't use it that often now that gyms are open again but it's still holding up
Any update on this? How did this do? Did any parts break after use? Middle bar bends?
Everything's still fine to this day - no more problems other than the ones listed in the video
I’m fuming I just got mine it came with no locks to lock the weights in place am. So lost wat to do now 😐
There is one problem about this is the lock
Its plastic i have one right now and the one lock break and now im using mighty bond to fix it and i cant find something like it in anystore.
For how long did you have it for? And also I am thinking about buy one its the same buts its metal and it cost a 130$
I have it for atleast a week or two and then it broke
@@gabrielzaldarriaga700 I am definitely going for the metal one although it cost around a 120$, I dont like things like that to break that fast
@@w9s992 yeah and incase it broke too you can easily find a spare online
@@gabrielzaldarriaga700 yeah hopefully, thanks for the fast response
Can I find separate plates anywhere to add more weight to these?
I think you can on places like alibaba or Ali express
Yes, anywhere.
Any 1" hole plates.
So is it possible to leak or even break if i drop it !?
it wont leak as there is concrete inside it
Can I add other weights? from different brands
what is the diameter in cm or inches on the rod or handlebar of the dumbells?
I ordered mine last week on the 5 june from takealot, is a 20kg dumbbell and barbell set , its coming tomorrow between 8 am and 17:00 pm says it will be here before 17:00pm .will let youll know if its worth buying ,and mine says it is coming with gloves too i dont see his having gloves 😂😂
Would this fit on a rack for bench press
It probably would on a small one that you'd find on Argos but probably not a full sized rack as it's not as big as an olympic bar
@@MahelKhan thanks
May I know the link to purchase this one ?
I like them the only problem is changing in the weights you have to spin the lock thingy then spin it back and do it over and over and its just a pain bruh. And like you said it does get loose all the time, honestly its not worth it youre better off investing in something else
oh if you think it's a pain doing that, it's an even bigger pain when you have to switch between dumbbell and barbell. that's why i'd advise planning your workout accordingly
@@MahelKhan yessir dumbbell exercises first then barbell last
You are little bit lazy bro...
Could I add additional clips to the ends to prevent the plates from moving??
If you have additional spinlocks or even better a gym style clip that'd fit the bar then this could be possible
can you use this for deadlift?
Not heavy enough and wide enough for deadlifting so not really (20kg is how much an olympic bar weighs and even a newbie can do that for reps)
You put the locking nut on backwards buddy that’s why it’s spinning 👍
So can you put all the weights on a single bar? (20kg)
yessir
@@MahelKhan Is it still working, no accidents?
Yeah nothing's changed since the problems I listed in the video so for £42 it's actually been quite solid
@@MahelKhan are these perfect for beginners into weight lifting
@@r1-active46 go to a gym or invest in a home power rack and barbell.
You will outgrow the weights very quickly and there's no additional room to add heavier weight with the set in the video.
I was thinking of getting this for the sole purpose of a hip thruster exercise. Just to save time so I don't have always readjust my real bar bell set.
Hi what is the dumbbell like now, is it still greasy? is there any leakage coming from the knob??
All good man and no leakage. The oil on the plates has also disappeared too :)
@@MahelKhan there’s a couple ones on Amazon for like £50ish(yaheetech and songmics brand) would u recommend buying these for this price? Also do u know anything about cement dumbbells(everlast)?
I'd recommend the dumbbell barbell set in the video description mate - £50 and you get the barbell extender too whereas I'm only seeing dumbbell sets for Yaheetech and Songmics. The one in the video description is as identical as possible to the one I bought from eBay
@@MahelKhan oh yeah, sorry but I’m looking for a 30kg set, is there any u recommend online for that weight?
@@rohankurian2312 Here mate 30kg for £50 and it looks identical to the one in the video :) amzn.to/3hssX7k
i had a 60 lb set like that, worked perfect. Just the dumbells were a little to long for me. Sold them, bought some yes2day weights
I love your pfp I love clementine we need a walking dead season 5!!! AAAHH
Where she joins the bad side and kills civilian survivors with osama bin ladens cousin
Great straight forward real review from a very likeable guy.
So they are metal nice and is it strong bar want breake
One of the best reviews I have ever seen 🙌
Is 20 kg enough for a 16 y.o? Because im looking forward to purchase it.
For a beginner yes I'd say so
@@MahelKhan i have been using resistance bands for last 2 months btw
@@abdulmuizz8678
Combine light weight with bands. More bang for your buck.
i dont think so cuz when i started at 13 i would be doing 10kg curl on each hand and 17.5/20 for barbell curl
I like edostory weights i bought them a few years ago and they give you many options on workouts i bougjt the same but with the kettlebell option aswell ad some resistance bands literally only need a mini bike anr im set for my equipment.
“ Squeeze”😂
My inner Scott Herman came out 😂
Does that really weigh what it says? They seem pretty light by appearance, it kinda looks like a toy
4kg is light 😂 so should be true to weight.
If anything then imo it feels heavier than the equivalent weight would in the gym. Either I've gotten weaker throughout COVID (whoops) and they actually weigh what they say, or they really are heavier than described
@@MahelKhan even if their heavier than described it won’t be much bro 😂 just aren’t used to it.
Whats the most amount of weight you could fit on the barbell do you think you could fit 40kg
30kg I think as I've seen the same product be sold with a 30kg variant for a bit more
I have 30kg one. There great my poles r longer. And middle bit is small plastic conector
@@ryanhowes6375 is the connector solid or breaks quickly? i'm buying the 20kg variant
G be careful I got the same ones I was doing ohp for reps and the connector broke and half of the weight fell
did it break your floor 😂 jokes aside though damn that sucks, I'm very cautious about the spinlocks but didn't think the extender was something to worry about so thanks for the heads up 👊
How long did you have it for
What weight were you doing it on mate? Just purchased it (40kg)
@@charliedawson1062 wouldnt advice going over 25kg
@@hafizmuizz7269 why is that
I've ordered from Amazon. 40 kg version. Just under £60.
I just bought this set. Very helpful to watch because as you pointed out there’s no instruction. Thank you!
Are they good i mean are they still good for you
I bought the kit you shared in the video. Thank you very much!
No problem, hopefully you didn't overpay for it :)
Was it good
Yeah dude, hows it working out?
I think he’s dead
Every time I went to Walmart I slapped a 5 pound curl bar weight sticker on my dumbbells paid $10 a set I’ve got 5-65 paid a total of maybe $100 ?
I bought the exact same set for 15 pounds at The Range
Are they any good ???
i went on their website and couldnt find them
I’d order dumbbells from blackline steel they are quite expensive but top quality I’ve got some 17.5kg and 20kg dumbbells from them no complaints.💪🏼
hello! can i ask how the weights are doing so far?
they're good, no new issues from the ones I mentioned in the video and definitely worth the £44 that I paid :)
@@MahelKhan thanks for the reply! this made me buy a set to try out!
how much pounds are the weights
@@duckgoduckgo Hey, how have they performed? Any issues or regrets?
Isnt there a second cap to makesure the plates dont move?
its just the oil left over from the molding process ,rub talcum powder into the plates and rub off the excess
So what do the plates need inside?
Iron concrete mix
This video was so useful. thank you! Just dropped a sub :)
Also, what brand is your shoes? I like them!
Thank you and they're Nike Air Max 90s :)
Is there two dumbbells included in the set?
Yea
How long it lasts?
How much is 1.5 weight
I’m a bit late aha but sick review mate not like the others straight to the point
His finger at 8:45 LOOL
4:48 interesting movements
Wait why does it say its 20kg on Amazon if urs is only 9kg??? Pos answer
Ohh nvm i found out but can u pls answer if it is possible to have All 20kg on at the same time if u extend it into a barbell or whats the Max KG u can have on the barbell? Pls answer
@@yasinkaraman9717 20kg on the barbell yes but you can't have 20kg on one single dumbbell
@@MahelKhan okey thank you :)
@@yasinkaraman9717 these r only good if youre under 16, if a 16 yr old cannot curl 18kg after a few weeks of training , then o dear
@@girlsdrinkfeck I've been training for years and can't, people have different goals
Are these the same 1s as the 1s on wish
Just had a look and it does look exactly the same as the 'type 2' ones on Wish www.wish.com/search/dumbbell%20set/product/601a070c97d96f0053381fdb
Are they metal or cemwnt
The bars are metal. The cements are vinyl, with cement inside.
Does it only bring one pair??
yeah only the two bars to make one pair of dumbbells (or one barbell when using the extender)
That costs 4 times the price than the same dumbbells sold here.
Are the weight filled with sand or are they iron
They are vinyle plates so they arent iron
@@MujiShah do you think
They’re good quality
@@jonathannunezmarroquin cast iron plates will last longer tbh, on sports direct website you can pre order a set of cast iron dumbbells, 20kg is £60 15KG is £50 i think, i just preordered them, should be coming in on 25th, better than paying over 100 quid for cast iron plates from ebay.
Thank you I ordered The ones in video good for now
Is this longlasting??
Maybe a day in the life of studying at home?
It's coming don't worry :)
Is any thing wrong with it now ??
can i bench it?
Just ordered the exact same ones for 15 pounds in Vietnam!
Are they good ?
Is it worth?
Muh.RaisAdam yep bro I ordered it and it came yesterday I really like it !!
@@mkklsjsjs3234 i dont know but it looks like so fragile
Turn the stoppers the other side.....
You twisted the clip upside down
The pointy side should be pointed at the plates so it doesn't twist
I did it the same way the product photos show it
@@MahelKhan the pics on my dumbell set are the other way around i suggest you try it
Oh yeah I tried it after I saw a different comment saying the same but it made no difference sadly - the slightest knock on the spinlock and it becomes loose. Makes doing exercises like two handed tricep extensions difficult because you can't hold the plate
@@MahelKhan i bought metal ones so that may have a different factor
Great that a guy reviews stuff he doesn't know how to use.🤔
You can buy a whole kit bench rod dumbbells 50kg weight etc. in £40
where?!
India
@@memantbyrishabharora4088
Yeah, try paying for shipping to England.
I bought a very similar set of that 30 kg. And it's cheap so it's good for its price.
How much did you buy yours for?
Thank you
Good stuff man, thank you.
No problem mate :)
I clicked the link in description and they are £75 I feel lied to
Pandemic hustling - prices basically doubled everywhere as soon as a lockdown was announced
@@MahelKhan found the same one but 10kgs for about 20 dollars, my concern that it might not be enough kilos, what do you think?
10kg would be too light - 20kg is the absolute minimum I'd say
@@MahelKhan it's been with you for 4 month now, how is it holding up?
Held up well tbf, no new issues from the ones I listed in the video. I rarely use the weights as a barbell however as you have to be super careful (the bars can become loose from the extender)
This video really helps
Isn’t the plastic containing toxic chemicals?
i like you. please keep being you.
perhaps the dislikes are about the product. its cheap and you can find sellers who sell it for cheaper. its good enough for its given quality and its plain robbery to demand more for less
Oh yeah I paid £42~ which was inflated as you can now get this for around £25 but soon after posting this video prices did go up to £70 because of lockdown and gyms being closed. At the time of posting, it was still good value
how is it lasting
@@MahelKhanyeah bro I just saw one for 25 quid so I wanted to see if they was any good
hahah so all british schools have that same weird smelling a4 books
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this then 😂
The weights look like plastic containers filled with cement but why didn’t fill it with steel?
probably because steel would've been too much for the price point
Erm... Cost
não está disponível no meu país :(
I swear I was gonna buy these exact ones but I bought a better set instead
I have found the exact same set for £8
Very good review
Thank you :) please be sure to use the link in the description if you're in the UK and decide to purchase the set
Are they actually heavy
Depends on the level you're working at - doesn't feel too heavy for me when I'm doing barbell curls for example but more than enough for shoulder exercises such as front raises and DB shoulder press
prbably the plastic that smells as they seem to be full of sand?!
I have the same bells as he is talking about and I can confirm that they are very greasy.
It's really weird isn't it? Luckily the smell and grease disappeared over time but it wasn't very pleasant when I first received them
Ye the grease has evaporated as well on mine
I got the same thing for £35 from amamzon
Was it any good

This isn’t the cheapest set it’s not even the best value I’ve seen a 30kg set for less
Nice
Pov : you have this dumbells\barbell
do you recommend it
Just bought it. 20 Dollar for 30kg. Honestly not bad. But its quite big cause its filled with sand not steel.
