I have a series of different weights- from solid steel dumbbells, Bowflex adjustables, to kettlebells. Even though these are the cheapest pair, these are hands-down my favorite. I love that the coating is soft enough they don’t hurt my hands, like steel handles do. I also love that they’re sturdy enough to do renegade rows with as well, which I can’t do with my Bowflex weights or kettlebells. They coating has just enough grip to it that I’m never worried about accidentally letting one fly when doing boxing training either. For a “basic” set of weights, they’re honestly everything you could need.
