Is this always the same width no matter what weights are on? Or are the dumbells shorter with lighter weights and longer with heavier weights?

The more weight plates that are added, then potentially the longer the dumbbell(s). :).

The threaded locking cap is inserted towards the center of the dumbell. This makes it shorter with light weights and longer with heavier weights.

They are like regular dumbbells at the gym: lighter are shorter, heavier are longer. I just measured and 30lb configuration is 10" long, a 90lb is 16" long.

The width is longer per plate you add. You would have 75lbs of thin plates to put on each bell. Plates are thin

The dumbbells do get wider as you put more weight on them to make them heavier. However, their shape is so true to a fixed weight dumbbell that the added width is very well balanced in your hand.

The dumbbells get wider when you add plates. But the plates are pretty slim so it's no problem. Fairly equivalent in size to typical dumbbells at your local gym.

What is on the set is the maximum in terms of space on the handles. If you put all the weight and stops you won't have space left. Look at the product photo, it's just like that. Though if you're already thinking of going over this weight you're better off with a barbell set.

Yes. Just went and tried fitting them on 3 different types of hex dumbells (TSA, body solid, etc.) and they fit fine. I use mine with a set of ironmaster dumbells.

If you want more weight suggest you get hundred pound dumbells instead of fifty pounds

Compare the measurements, if they are the same it will work, 5 lb more lift will not matter

The length of each dumbell is 19 inches. I found a 4 post plate storage at sports authority for about 50 dollars. It also has a bar storage part on it also that holds it in the upright position. Its not fancy but it does the job. Hope this helps.

I'm very interested in this set as I used to lift weights years ago but I may not be as dedicated as I once was so I can't see springing for an Olympic bar that will cost just about half of what the entire setup cost. To those who checked out Gold's Gym website and viewed the pdf manual, it clearly says that you have a choice of making the squat rack fit shorter and Olympic bars. I just wanted to be as sure as possible before I made this purchase. I just may go ahead and get this but order the 7' standard bar.Thanks for all your input with my questions.

No. They each max out at 100lbs per dumbbell. You have a total of 200lbs when both are assembled.

No they don't shift, it's plenty stable. If you want more stability go spend over $1000 on actual dumbells, if not get these they work great.

Many of the local sports stores carry varied sizes weight plates. Just measure the hole in your weight and buy plates with the same size hole. With the diversity of weights that you have with this set, I should think that you would not need to buy any other weights. Remember that if you need a lighter weight, you can use the bar alone or the collars.

There are two options to buy - in one option the heaviest is 25 pounds per dumbbell and in the other, it goes up to 50 pounds. I have the lighter ones and am considering the heavier ones for my husband. LOVE THEM!

Don't get them man, They're really very awkward. (try to imagine how long each bar is. They're both made to hold 100lbs in plates!) 18-20 inches long. If you're used to extending to where the weights almost touch you will dislike them. If you go straight up and down like a robot then I def recommend them. Start buying sold dumbbells one by one. It will be worth the money.

Hi, porchpotato. I don't own and haven't used this product, but I own a pair of similar RAWBuiltTech standard-size barbell collars. I don't have one of those interchangeable-plates dumbbell sets, but I can say this much: even a 25 LB (old) Weider weight plate and a pair of (much newer) 5 LB Weider plates (or "disks") press against the clamped-on barbell collar (when the barbell is tilted even moderately). The 35 LB weight-plate trio then causes the barbell collar to shift toward the end of the barbell sleeve, if only by a fraction of an inch. Oh, I know that virtually no-one is tough enough (or dexterous enough) to try handling and curling a 70 LB dumbbell set made with 25 LB weight plates, but I hope my reply is a bit useful ...

I am 255 lbs , 30 lbs dumbbell's in each hand. That's 315 lbs total . Seems to be no problem.HO

It's not really set up for them, no. If you are a smaller frame guy u can kinda cheat and make it work. I personally use dumbells for them.

I have one and am a 6'3", 215 lb weightlifter. My wife who is petite also has one. Both work great.

I liked the bowflex, but as I never need any weights over 20 lbs (and the bowflex only has a 5-50lb option), I'm getting the powerblock 3lb to 21lb set. Saves me $200
