The only thing that would make these weights any better is it they had slightly thinner bars. They are sometimes a little difficult to grip because they have a thicker bar to support the heaviest weights. But other than that, they have been incredible. I love the ease of use and 2 1/2 lb adjustments. I don't have to shuffle through 10 sets of free weights. I just select my weight and go.
There is no question that the Bowflex 552 Dumbbells are more than meets the eye. They are extremely compact and easy to use. I am very pleased that I purchased this product.
I am recovering from rotators cuff surgery. I am able to isolate the cuff muscles plus the support muscles as well. During recovery I have had to lift very light weight with the repaired muscle and heavier weights with the support muscles and non-surgery side.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
