Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells Review

I know that a lot of people can’t afford to keep paying expensive monthly gym membership fees.

And most of you know that in order to keep yourself interested in working out and to keep your body constantly improving, you need some kind of variety in your workouts.

You may have some gym equipment at home already, but have held back from buying dumbbells because you can afford to get all the dumbbells you’d need and wouldn’t have room for them all anyway.

Hopefully, after reading this, you’ll realize that your problems have been solved.

Dumbbell Exercises

So why would I suggest you use dumbbells? Well, remember I just mentioned that you need variety in your workouts.

You can add variety in your workouts by using dumbbells instead of barbells or machines. You can do most of the same exercises and work the same muscles as you already are with barbells and machines.

The added bonus to using dumbbells is that you’re challenging your body more because it has to stay balanced during the exercises. With a barbell, the weight is balanced by the bar. With a machine, the weight is balanced by the machine.

But with dumbbells your muscles have to work to keep each side stabilized as you perform your exercises.

You won’t be able to bench press as much total weight with dumbbells as you can with a barbell, because dumbbell exercises are more challenging! So add dumbbell exercises to your workouts and you’re going to see even more progress than before.

Maybe you can’t afford all the increments of weight you’d want in a dumbbell set…

Maybe you live in a small apartment and have no room for a dumbbell weight set…

Well, you don’t have to worry about either of those issues anymore!

I’m sure you remember the name Bowflex from the home gyms that made them popular, but did you know that they also make dumbbells?

These aren’t your normal dumbbells though; they’re like having a set of 15 different dumbbells compacted into one set of dumbbells.

You might be thinking, “How is that possible?”

All you do is turn a dial to the weight that you want the dumbbells to be and a mechanism locks the plates into place for you. Then all you have to do is pick the dumbbells up and they’re ready to use at the weight you selected.

Sounds pretty high tech, doesn’t it?

So now you have a pair dumbbells that you can adjust to weigh anywhere from 5 pounds up to 52.5 pounds. There’s no worrying about not having space for your dumbbells anymore!

You would have to buy 15 different sets of dumbbells to equal the weight variety in a set of Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells. There are 15 different weight settings you can set the dumbbells at.

• 5lbs
• 7.5lbs
• 10 lbs
• 12.5 lbs
• 15 lbs
• 17.5 lbs
• 20 lbs
• 22.5 lbs
• 25 lbs
• 30 lbs
• 35 lbs
• 40 lbs
• 45 lbs
• 50 lbs
• 52.5 lbs

All those different weights with just one set of dumbbells! You can’t even get five of those weight increments with normal dumbbells.

And guess what else? You’re going to save a lot of money!

So, they take up less space than a set of regular dumbbells…

they cost less than a set of regular dumbbells…

and you don’t have a set of these dumbbells yet!?

Another thing I like about these dumbbells is that your workouts are going to be quicker.

You can quickly adjust the weights to use for a different exercise, instead of having a bunch of different weights lying around. The adjustable dial really makes things more efficient plus the locking mechanism is very sturdy.

And it doesn’t hurt that these adjustable dumbbells look more attractive than other brands either. Powerblock dumbbells are ugly!

So if you need more variety in your home workouts, don’t hold off from getting a set of dumbbells anymore!

Bowflex makes it easy and affordable to bring a good set of dumbbells into your home with the SelectTech 552’s.

No one will call you a dumbbell for having a set of these dumbbells.
