FAQs
What is the material of the dumbbells?
The core of the dumbbells is made from cast iron, and they feature a durable neoprene coating on the grip area.
Can these dumbbells be used for CrossFit or high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?
Yes, their design and grip make them suitable for many HIIT and CrossFit exercises, provided the 5 kg weight is appropriate for your training intensity.
How should I store these dumbbells?
Store them in a dry, cool place. A dumbbell rack or a designated corner of your workout space is ideal. Ensure they are not stored where they could fall or cause a tripping hazard.
Are these dumbbells adjustable?
No, these are fixed-weight dumbbells, with each weighing 5 kg.
What are the dimensions of each dumbbell?
Each dumbbell measures approximately 8.3 inches (21 cm) in length and 4.1 inches (10.5 cm) in width.
What is the grip diameter?
The grip diameter is approximately 1.6 inches (4.1 cm).
Can I use these dumbbells outdoors?
While durable, it's recommended to use them on a stable surface indoors or on a protective mat outdoors. Avoid exposing them to prolonged moisture or extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Dumbbells feel slippery.
Ensure your hands are dry before use. Wipe the neoprene coating with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
Dumbbells are rolling when placed down.
Ensure the dumbbells are placed on a flat, stable surface. The hexagonal design is intended to prevent rolling, but extreme inclines or uneven surfaces may still cause movement.
Neoprene coating feels sticky.
This can sometimes occur due to environmental factors or residue. Clean with a damp cloth and ensure thorough drying. Avoid storing in humid conditions.
