Physical appearance

These dumbbells are about 16 inches in length, which is much longer than conventional dumb bells. However, the length of these dumbbells does not change with the weight selected. The first time users may need some time in getting used to the dumbbell due to its length.

The weight range of these dumbbells varies from 5 lbs to 52.5 lbs. It's good for people who are looking for something which can help them to build strength and tone their muscles. However, people who want more strength and bigger muscles can opt for something else.
Working

All you need to do is to use the dials on Bowflex Selecttech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells to set them at the desired weight. The clicking sound will tell you that the weight plates are locked in and ready to be used. When you want to change the weight, you can turn the dials at both the ends. For instance, to select a weight of 30 lbs for a single dumbbell, you need to adjust the knob to select the "30 lbs". It's a fast process and takes seconds. The dumbbell has fifteen settings to choose from in the range of 5 to 52.5 lbs.

Generally dumbbells are symmetrical, which means that the weight is divided equally in a pair of conventional dumbbells. However, in case of Bowflex Selecttech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells, you can select different weights on each of the dumb bells for different kinds of work outs. For example for a weight of 30 lbs you can set one side of the dumbbell as 20 lbs and the other as 10 lbs. This is the called the offset weight option. You need to make sure that once your work out is finished, you return the dials into the base position.
