US Weight 100 Pound Traditional Weight Set Specifications & Features
Weight Plates
The US Weight 100 Pound Traditional Weight Set comes with two 20lbs weights, four 10lbs weights, and two 8lbs weights - for a combined total weight of 100 pounds.
This should be satisfactory for a beginner / intermediate fitness individual - but it probably won't be satisfactory for someone who is used to lifting huge amounts in the gym. The weight bar itself is 4lbs - so take this in to consideration when applying weights.
Construction
The weight bar is made from heavy duty material (notably steel and a mix with another alloy). Rigorous testing by the manufacturer has apparently proven that the bar can hold 3 times the total weights on each end before it starts to buckle - clearly far more than you will ever submit it to.
The weights are made from heavy duty vinyl - which is not only environmentally friendly, but also friendly to your floor. If you drop the weights from a small height - there will be minimum damage due to the interior flexibility of the weights.
Extras & Add-ons
With the US Weight 100 Pound Traditional Weight Set, you'll receive a comprehensive user manual which will walk you through all of the possible exercises that this weight set is capable of. Additionally, you'll be guided through the changing of weights, and the use of the safety clips - to ensure the absolute safety of the user.
It is unclear whether there is a warranty on the US Weight 100 Pound Traditional Weight Set - however we are predicting that there will be a manufacturer's limited warranty - or an add-on warranty which can be purchased through the retailer.
Our Rating of the US Weight 100 Pound Traditional Weight Set
Overall, our testing showed that the US Weight 100 Pound Traditional Weight Set is definitely worthy of a recommendation for a beginner / intermediate fitness lover - especially if you are working your way up through the weights.
The construction is solid and durable, and we doubt you will have any issues requiring the product to be returned or repaired.
Hence - we give the US Weight 100 Pound Traditional Weight Set a 5 star rating - based on the factors above.
