    I suppose you'll be using this at home.
    But really.. 24 Kg is nothing..
    You'll surpass that weight easily with just few months of working out.

    Yeah, I agree with ps90. Why not just get regular ones which are much cheaper and more versatile?

  • 'regular ones which are much cheaper'- space is an issue and i thought weights were pricey to buy separately, as in buy each increment.

    where are they cheap?

    • If you got a Rebel Sport voucher in the Herald Sun deal they have a 50kg set on sale for the next week for $150. Includes a barbell too. http://www.rebelsport.com.au/Product/Celsius-50kg-Weight-Set…

      But a word of advice… If you want to get serious and actually put on muscle/weight though you'll need more equipment or a gym membership (bench, squat rack etc). If you just want to tone up a tiny bit dumbbells are fine (tiny being the operative word).

      • yeah i have a gym membership, just want to be active at home on the days I'm not at the gym

          Since you have a gym membership, save up that extra money for some good protein powder. If you want to "be active" on your off days, do equipment-less exercise (sit ups, crunches, planks, push ups, squats).

        • good idea, might do that then

        • +1 for equipment-less exercise, plus these things are exceptionally pricey for what they are, I can understand why you want them for the compactness though

  • These look excellent just the price is hurtful

  • These look good although I'm not sure about the quality.

    I've already got a power rack at home and I'm considering getting dumbbells to the collection but it doesn't make sense to buy individual weights. I may consider these.

    Oh and yes I do have a gym membership which I use regularly as well.
