Our take on the PVC Coated Hex Dumbbell Set

A pair of hex-shaped dumbbells with a PVC coating over a metal plate core. The hex head keeps the weights from rolling between sets, and the coating protects floors and cuts clanking compared with bare metal. They suit home lifters who want simple fixed weights for curls, presses and rows. Unlike adjustable dumbbells, the weight is fixed per pair, so you buy the size you need and add more as you progress.

Questions and answers

Are these dumbbells good for beginners?

Yes. Fixed-weight hex dumbbells are easy to use for curls, presses, rows and lunges. Pick a weight you can control for 8 to 12 reps and add heavier pairs as you get stronger.

Will the PVC coating damage my floor?

The coating is softer than bare metal and helps protect floors from scratches and scuffs. Dropping them hard can still mark wood or crack the coating, so set them down with control.

Do they roll around?

No. The hex-shaped heads have flat sides, so the dumbbells stay in place on the floor between sets instead of rolling away.

What is the difference from adjustable dumbbells?

These are fixed-weight pairs, so there is nothing to change mid-workout and nothing to wear out. Adjustable dumbbells cover many weights in one set but take up less space per weight and cost more up front.

Can I use them for bench press and squats?

Yes, for dumbbell versions of those lifts. For heavy squats and bench press, most lifters move to a barbell once dumbbell weights get too light.

Where is the PVC Coated Hex Dumbbell Set cheapest?

At Target, for $54.88, as of our latest check.
