Something I forgot to mention in comparing the Core and the Bowflex Dumbbells - the Core Dumbbells have 10 sets of weights while the Bowflex has 15. The Bowflex SelectTech 552s go up in increments of 2.5 lbs from 5 to 25 lbs then increment by 5 lbs up to 52.5 lbs. The Core dumbbells go up in increments of 5 lbs from 5 lbs to 50 lbs. I don't think it's a game-changer, but if you're just getting dumbbells for small isolation movements or abs then you might want to consider this.
Great video. Thanks for getting to the point on the pros and cons, which were helpful. I am debating between these and the Nuobells. Only drawbacks with Nuobells are the cost and durability with the plastic.
Great video and very unbias. I agree with you concerning the handles. That. is the show stopper for me. I have large hands and I am so used to the standard bench press bar that I feel it would be to small and as you said "feel weird". Thanks again. Kirk C.
Honestly max 50 pounds are perfect for me. Being that I’m a woman and all. I lift no more then 15 maybe 20 depending on the workout. And when I’m doing legs I do between 25 and 30 so I’m good.
@@melvin-fitnessproductrevie7082 good to know. This was the only thing that stopped me from buying these but I am sure they thought about the strength and durability before making these.
The Core fitness when dialed to 40 to 50 lbs the weights get stuck in cradle. It becomes annoying after you constantly do it every time. If not for that they would be great. Has anyone come up with a DIY fix for the weight sticking issue?
