help Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells FAQ
What weight range do Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells cover?
The SelectTech 552 adjusts from 5 pounds to 52.5 pounds per dumbbell. That range is why Bowflex markets the pair as replacing multiple fixed dumbbell sets in a small home gym.
Are Bowflex 552 dumbbells fast enough for supersets?
Yes, the dial adjustment is much faster than spinlock handles because you turn the selector and lift the chosen weight from the tray. It works well for exercises such as curls, presses, rows, lateral raises, and goblet squats.
What is the main limitation of the SelectTech 552 design?
The dumbbell stays physically long even at lighter weights, so a 10-pound curl can feel bulkier than a fixed 10-pound dumbbell. Lifters who use very heavy rows or presses may also outgrow the 52.5-pound ceiling.
Were Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells recalled?
Certain BowFlex 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells were included in a 2025 safety recall because plates could detach during use. Owners should check the serial number on the tray against the official recall notice before continuing workouts.
