Weider PowerSwitch 12.5 lbs Adjustable Dumbbell Pair Review
By admin on Jun 30, 2010 with Comments 0
The Weider PowerSwitch dumbbell pair is just the thing you need if you are looking for a set of adjustable dumbbells but do not intend to put on too much bulk. These dumbbells have a minimum weight of 2.5 lbs. and a maximum weight of 12.5 lbs per dumbbell. The Speed Pac weight plates come in 2.5 lbs increments and changing weights is as easy as setting the selector pin to the desired weight range.
In addition to being able to replace up to 10 single weight dumbbells, the Weider dumbbells, which measure 13 x 4 x 7 inches (length x height x width), can be stored practically anywhere by virtue of their size and handy storage tray. For additional convenience, the storage tray also features a color-coded weight guide for easy reference when changing weights. The Weider PowerSwitch dumbbell handles also come with a cushioned grip with the user's comfort in mind.
Easily Changed Weight Plates, Comfortable Grips
Users were enthusiastic over how easy it proved to switch between different weight plates. The well-designed dumbbells ensured that the operation only took a few seconds to be completed, and the dumbbells themselves felt balanced during use.
The cushioned grips did exactly what the manufacturers promised they would do – eliminate the discomfort people have come to expect from uncomfortable rectangular handle designs. The high-density rubber padding meant that extended workouts would not pose any trouble to the user. Furthermore, the dumbbells are extremely durable, and can last for many years.
Affordable and Convenient
One attractive aspect of the Weider dumbbells was its price. Users experienced in the use of adjustable dumbbells deemed this set to be the most affordable and economically advisable choice for a beginner-level adjustable dumbbell. They also felt that it was suitable for people who wanted to build up muscle tone without adding bulk or getting involved in tiring workouts.
More than one user review reported that the Weider dumbbells made it extremely convenient to work out at home while also providing easy storage options. Even better, the accompanying storage tray made of hard plastic, for extra sturdiness and durability, minimizes clutter and ensures that the dumbbells don't roll around or damage wooden floors when not in use. They also found the color-coded tray helpful reference when they needed to change weights.
Doesn't Help To Build Bulk
Some users who bought this dumbbell set reported disappointed review when they were unable to increase muscle size. As such, this dumbbell set isn't the best choice for users who want to bulk up and build muscle mass. Rather, it would cater perfectly to those who want to increase muscle tone.
