These dumbbells are the perfect addition to my home gym. They feel like commercial quality, yet are compact to use in my home without taking up a lot of space. They are easy to use, versatile and well designed.

Well-Built Dumbbells that are Space Savers!

How I use the 552s: - I use these DBs for a 4-day split. In addition, my partner uses them an additional day or two during the week. I've managed to build a great routine using just the 552s, which allow me to target key areas of strength/conditioning: biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, legs, etc. Things that are great about the 552s: - These dumbbells are solid. I have heard that they last long, and I am hopeful these will last a decade assuming I care for them. They save a lot of space as well, and allow me to have a good set-up with the stand. I appreciate the versatility of the DB weight options as well. They are relatively comfortable too. Areas of Improvement: - As other folks have said, they can be a bit bulky, however, they have yet to stop be from performing a certain workout. I am willing to deal with the bulk for the convenience of replacing several dumbbells. In addition, the hand-grip can get slippery while you workout/if you sweat. I am used to a more rigged grip that prevents slippage that these rubber-like handles have. - Not an area of improvement per se, however, if you lift heavy, these can be on the lighter end. I am sure gains have been lost during the pandemic, but after a few months 52.5 lbs can be limiting for certain movements. I do wish the 1090s were in stock as I would have opted for more weight.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use
Cons: Heavy / Bulky

Hey there - Wow! It's fantastic to hear that there are so many things you love about your 552 dumbbells! We appreciate your detailed feedback and we will pass it along to our development team. We do suggest using lifting gloves if you are finding that the hand grip can get slippery during an intense workout.
