I purchased this set of weights and bars a few months ago and have been very pleased with how they have been. I have used them for a variety of exercises, from bicep curls to bent over rows.They allow users to change the amount of weight on the bars easily, perfect for beginners who should make strength increases relatively fast - if that's what they train for. The weights will be useable for life for people who are just looking to be toned and to perform regular endurance exercises. However, for people planning on building large amounts of muscle or increasing strength, the weights will not last overly long. The user will need to purchase more weights for the bars to increase the stress and strain on the working muscles.
Advantages: First of all, the weights are very nice looking, with a classy chrome finish. They are very suitable for beginners as they can perform a wide range of exercises with plenty of different weights. The price is also very competative for the high quality
Disadvantages: For people serious about bodybuilding or increasing strength, they will find that after a few months the largest amount that can fit on one bar, is not enough to stress the muscles to their maximum. The user will then need to purchase some 5kg or 10kg plates as the largest in this set is 2.5kg. However, this is only for people serious about their weights and gaining muscle and/or strength. Another disadvantage i have found is that as the grip on the bars is metal, it can break the skin on the hand causing blisters, which is of course very painful when you want to use your hand again in the next couple of days.
Overall I believe the product is very good for the price offered and I would recommend this to a friend. As said above, it is perfect for people new to weight training.
