- Is this set good for a total beginner?
- Yes. It covers light presses, curls, rows and squats with small 5 lb jumps, which suits learning form. Expect to outgrow it once lifts get heavier.
- Can I add more plates to it?
- Yes, if they are standard 1-inch plates. The bar and threaded sleeves take 1-inch plates, so you can build up weight without replacing the bar.
- Does it work for squats and bench pressing?
- Only at light weights. The 55 lb total and 1-inch bar limit how much you can load safely, so it is better for upper-body and arm work.
- How much space does it need?
- Little. The bar is 32 inches long and comes apart into three pieces, so it stores in a closet or corner between sessions.
- Are the plates rust-resistant?
- The plates have a rust-resistant coating, and owners report they hold up with basic care. Wipe off sweat and keep them dry.
- What is included in the set?
- A three-piece threaded 1-inch barbell bar with collars and a mix of coated standard plates totaling 55 lb.
