Cap Barbell User Reviews
40 lbs isn’t a huge amount of weight but more than enough for the beginner.
The bar itself weighs 5 lbs so you get 15 lbs of assorted weight for each of the two bars, totaling 40 lbs. This allows you to increment from 5 to 20 lbs dumbbells or a single up to 35 lbs.
Plan on adding a few more 5 lbs or 10 lbs plates to it, is all – they are available separately
so no big deal. I’ve set these bars up with 65 lbs of weights with no problem using 10 lbs.
The bars are good quality and have rubber washers to lock the weights in place. For some exercises the 14 inch bars get in the way compared to simple hex dumbbells, and it does take a while to change weights between moves, but it’s tolerable, especially compared to blowing $500+ on adjustable weights with plastic adjustment tabs, no less.
At this price you could also buy two sets – giving you much more versatility in weight, and you get the ability to set up 2 sets for yourself at a time – allowing quicker workouts at the weight of your choosing without investing in a zillion separate dumbbells.
The Cap Barbell dumbbells are a good starter set for the beginner and/or a handy set to have for those exercises that don’t require much weight (side raises, tricep kickbacks etc). Given the relatively low price tag, purchasing two Cap Barbell sets is probably the best option.
