Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells: A Great Adjustable Weights Set

I am always on the lookout for a good set of weights. They are hard to find. Normally the weight changing mechanism is too hard to use or wears out quickly. The Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells are different. This set of dumbbells has a great feel about them and they are extremely easy to manipulate. Quite amazingly, you just change the weight by turning a dial! Its a little bit magic.

Features of the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells

I am really keen on these weights. Sure, they look a little bit ugly but, to be honest, as long as they are heavy and easy to adjust they do the job just fine. Here are the main features.

• Adjustable from 5 to 52.5 pounds; adjusts in 2.5-pound increments
• Combines a whopping 15 sets of weights into one set of dumbbells
• Saves money by allowing you to buy one set of dumbbells, not many
• Five-year warranty on weight plates, two-year warranty on parts

These weights are perfect for people who are building their own home gym but don’t want to spend a lot of money or clutter their gym room with weights all over the place. It is really important to note how much these dumbbells will save you. Have you ever priced a set of weights? They are an absolute rip off! You pay per pound and it seems the more you go the more the price increases per pound! The Bowflex SelectTech is a great way to solve this problem.

How do the Bowflex dumbbells work?

It actually took me a while to figure out how they work when reading about them but then when I tired it it became obvious. Basically the dial works by very cleverly selecting the correct weight plates. So, the dumbbell sits in its holder, you select the amount of weight you want to lift and then as you pick it up the bar will only take with it the required plates. When you have finished your exercise you put it back down and it will lock back in with the other weights. Extremely smart technology.
