Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair)

Product Information

Here are just some of the exercises you can perform with the Bowflex 2080, with more than enough resistance: biceps curls, triceps extensions, overhead press, upright rows and even bent over rows. The list really just goes on and on. Should you buy the Bowflex Selecttech 2080 barbell? Admittedly, it is not the cheapest home gym equipment but if you’re happy to pay the premium, you’ll get a barbell that was designed for home use and will even provide a sense of progression, thanks to its adjustable nature. It’ll definitely take up less space than a standard Olympic barbell and weight plates.

To inspire your training, the dumbbells come with a free Bowflex SelectTech workout DVD – Secrets of the 4 Step Rep. This features over 30 exercises and 80 variations to help you to maximise your workout. Alternative Bowflex Weights Enjoy the versatility of a free weights work station in the comfort of your own home with the Bowflex® SelectTech® super heavy dumbbells. With an adjustable weight range of 4-41kg, this single pair of dumbbells delivers the same results as 17 sets of weights – but without the clutter! At some lighter weights, where only plates further away from the central handle are attached, it can also be awkward to hold the dumbbells in a goblet squat position - a shame considering (as anyone who has ever asked a personal trainer the question, " What are the benefits of squats?" will only know too well) this is one of the best exercises for building lower body muscle. As with the Bowflex SelectTech 840 Adjustable Kettlebell, the SelectTech 2080 Barbell holds its weight plates very securely, even when they are upside down. That’s a relief, as you can imagine. They will be upside down often, as there are no bearings inside the barbells.The deal includes a pair of dumbbells. Each Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds all the way to 52.5 poundsl. There are a total of 15 different weight settings per dumbbell. The settings start at out 2.5lb increments from 5 to 25 pounds, 5lb increments from 25 to 50 pounds, and then a final 2.5lb increment from 50 to 52.5 pounds. To discuss build quality, we must break down the Bowflex 2080 into three separate parts: the bar itself, the weight selector and the frame/weight cradle.

Bowflex SelectTech 840 Adjustable Kettlebell review: also consider

However, the excellent build quality and the fact that this selectable dumbbell can go all the way to the heady heights of 41kg mean it's worth considering shelling out if you like to get technological about your fitness. Bowflex SelectTech 1090i Adjustable Dumbbell review: also consider Talking about the cradle: it’s probably the least impressive part of the Bowflex SelectTech 2080. It’s a hollow, cheap looking plastic that’s admittedly not used for much but it does hinder the overall quality perception of the otherwise fabulous barbell. There is also the issue of how the cradles sit at the end of the frame.Our warranty extensions allow you to carry on working out all-year round, protecting your equipment. Individual warranty durations ranging from one to three years after the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty / guarantee Featuring durable moulding around the metal plates, the dumbbells are not only hard-wearing but provide a smooth lift-off.
