How much weight does the set hold in total?

The set is rated at 40 lb total across its plates. That is the combined load, so any single dumbbell, barbell or kettlebell uses only part of it.

Can I use the plates on an Olympic bar?

No. The plates have 1-inch holes and fit standard-sized bars only, not 2-inch Olympic bars.

What is included in the set?

It includes weight plates, two smaller plates for finer steps, a PVC dumbbell handle, a kettlebell handle, an ab roller wheel and collars to hold the plates.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes. The range of light loads and the four configurations suit beginners and toning work. Stronger lifters will outgrow the 40 lb limit quickly.

How do I change the weight?

You add or remove plates on the handle and secure them with the collars. Check the collars are tight before each set.

Our take on the Athletic Works 40 lb 5-in-1 Adjustable Dumbbell Set, Black

The Athletic Works 5-in-1 set is a modular 40 lb weight kit that converts between dumbbells, a barbell, a kettlebell and an ab roller. You change the load by adding or removing vinyl-coated plates on a PVC handle, held by collars. It suits beginners and home lifters who want several training styles from one compact kit rather than a rack of fixed weights. Against fixed dumbbells it trades quick weight changes for versatility and a smaller footprint; the 40 lb total caps how heavy any single lift can get.
