5.0 out of 5 stars Good mid-range weight, July 23, 2004

The Cap Barbell Chrome Dumbbell SDC sets are very attractive in appearance. They have a sleek design that gleams in the sunlight and that can be good for motivation. The handles of the dumbbells are rough and knurled so that they are easy to grip. They are easy to wipe down and clean, and they tend to keep their shine.

This 10 lbs. dumbbell is the mid-range weight on offer. For aerobic use, weighted-hands while walking and doing other exercises, this is a fairly advanced -- 10 lbs will be very heavy very quickly. The 3 lbs. level is good for beginners; for a little more burn a few more pounds resistance will help. It may not sound like that much, but it adds up quickly.

Gyms and hotels often have this kind of dumbbell, and often the full range of these dumbbells. They range from 3lbs. per to 50lbs. per in this range of configuration: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 lbs. This is a very good range. Hard core lifters will want heavier weights, but that is often where machines and multiple plate weights come into the picture.

There is a very convenient thing about just going over the rack on the wall and picking up two dumbbells, going to work and not having to screw plates on, or use tools to adjust clamps and locks. Just pick up the dumbbells and start cranking out the reps.

Dumbbells are useful for many exercises -- from strength training to toning to aerobics. For home use, one will probably only need a few sets chosen for one's own resistance level. Figure this out ahead of time because the downside of dumbbells like this is that they are not adjustable -- what you see is what you get.

Lighter weights are useful for toning; heavier weights for strengthening and muscle building. For aerobic help, lighter weights are the way to go. These 10 lbs. dumbbells are good for light to mid-range toning. Remember to purchase two of them!

Remember the issue of storage -- a few sets can fit in the closet or under a table, and the chrome kind will look nice. If you are serious about working out in different ways, then dumbbells should be a part of that training as they are more flexible is use. A set of dumbbells is a must; a few of different weights is a good long-term investment, as they do not wear out.
