help Bowflex SelectTech 550 Dumbbells FAQ
How do the Bowflex SelectTech 550 dumbbells adjust their weight?
You simply place the dumbbells into their included cradles and turn the selection dials to your desired weight. The dials use a patented locking mechanism to grab the exact number of weighted plates needed for that specific setting.
Are the Bowflex SelectTech 550 dumbbells too long and bulky for overhead exercises?
Because they combine the weights into a single handle, the 50-pound version is noticeably longer than standard fixed dumbbells. Some users find the length slightly awkward for exercises like overhead tricep extensions, but they are manageable for most presses.
What is the weight increment range for the Bowflex SelectTech 550s?
Each dumbbell can be adjusted from 5 pounds up to 52.5 pounds. The increments are 2.5 pounds for the first 25 pounds, and then switch to 5-pound increments up to the maximum weight.
Can I drop the Bowflex SelectTech 550 dumbbells if I fail a heavy bench press repetition?
No, you should never drop these adjustable dumbbells. They contain delicate plastic and metal locking pins that will easily shatter or break if dropped, which will immediately void your warranty.
