- Is 50 kg enough for a beginner?
- For the first months of pressing, rowing and curling, yes. For squats and deadlifts most men will pass 50 kg quickly, so plan to add plates or a heavier bar later.
- Can it be used as dumbbells and a barbell?
- Yes. The plates load onto the bar as a barbell or split across two shorter handles for dumbbells, depending on the configuration supplied.
- Are the plates rubber or cast iron?
- The plates are rubber-coated, which makes them quieter and less likely to mark floors than bare cast iron.
- Will the collars stay tight during lifts?
- The spin-lock collars are designed to clamp the plates firmly. Check them before each set, as with any adjustable set.
- How much space does it need?
- The loaded barbell needs roughly two meters of clear width for pressing and squatting, plus floor space to store the plates.
- Does it come with a stand or rack?
- No. The set is the bar, plates and collars only, so you will need a bench or rack separately for pressing and squatting.
