Facebook Share Twitter Share Google+ Share

Oh, I got to play with some workout equipment this past week and now I REALLY want a set of these babies! Yep. You’ve seen them on P90X+ and ChaLean Extreme … the Select Tech dumbbells by Bowflex.

I really like the versatility and compactness of these. Cant wait to get my own!

    I thought the same thing.

    I got a set of these for p90x. They are really cool, however there are some movements you simply can’t do (without some modification) because they are so wide. For example, the switch grip triceps kick-back. You really have to have your hands in a “hammer fist” as they pass your body and then twist to the front or back grip. Another example is the lying down triceps extension- the darn things hit the ground before your elbow is at 90 degrees. You really need a bench to do these correctly.

    You know. I did notice they were quick big in size. Thanks for that. I would imagine some moves to just be tough.

    That’s why I ordered some Powerblocks. Still waiting for them to arrive, but they get smaller as the weight goes down. The width for a 55 lb Powerblock is 12.625 inches.

    Definitely an advantage. II was actually planning to go with PB but I found a great deal on the BF on craigslist :-).

    Another thing that is nice with the PB is with some models you can buy an expansion set up to 90 lbs or so. With the BF if the 52.5 becomes to light you have to buy a whole new set.

    You make a great point. Not really an exercise podcast as much as sharing thoughts and experiences. Thanks for your input though!

    Do you own a set of these? How do you like them?

    I didn’t get to do a full workout with these and at first found them bulky. Those who use them tho don’t seem to find that as aan issue, so I dunno. I liked being able to offset weights, etc. Convenience, too. Still, I haven’t made the purchase yet due to owning dumbbells
