Sure.

Some people said you can't drop these, you probably can't. Granted, the max are 25lb, so why would you need to?

I'd say my impression on durability is 4 out of 5, seems solid, but not like they feel like they'll last a lifetime. I think it's just about use - how in the world could these ever breakdown if you just used them for their intended purpose? I can't imagine a scenario where I'd have to replace these over the next 5 years or buy other dumbbells in this size range.

For me, I really like that I didn't pay more $ for a higher weight range, because I don't want a 5lb-50lb set. I just want this for ancillary workouts to my main lifts. The tradeoff in this product is it's max 25lb, not that it's low build quality, and that's the trade I wanted to make.

Wow, your statement's so condescending that, if you don't recognize your thinking for what it is, I actually have sympathy for you. ANY person's workout is his or her own. You do yours, let other "adult males" do theirs.

EDIT: Btw, TU for the deal and repped. This is a great price for what you get. I also work out with a pair of Bowflex 552 dumbbells, but I think I might pick up these CAPs as well. The 552 plates are so dang big; the CAP might be good for high-rep burner sets.

Kettlebell or this, which one is better for exercise?

answering my own question, looks like Kettlebell gives more exercise:

I'm not Hercules and I see no use for dumbells under 25 lbs for an adult male. I have the Bowflex 52.5 and I use 35 for curls and 52.5 for Flys. Otherwise those are too light as well. I'm gonna try to find a nice rack.

Thanks for posting the deal, just bought one. Hope 25lb each would be enough home exercise.
A big factor in how much you'll get out of 25lb (and less) is something many (including myself) regularly take for granted is 'technique'. For example, when I isolate muscle groups, slow down my reps, and focus on impeccable technique, the weights are 'suddenly' heavier; sometimes much heavier, lol. You can also increase your reps. Finally, the lower weights may be useful for exercises that call for weights to be extended front, back and lateral relative to your core/body.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Shorter rests between sets is also a way to get more out of the weights you have.

The only reason you need to go looking for a nice rack is because your wife left you because of your attitude

Interesting. I found the opposite to be the case. I didn't like kettlebells for certain exercises that include a wrist rotation. The kettlebells put put unintentional 'asymmetrical' torque on my wrists, whereas the symmetry of traditional dumbbells were just right. I did like the kettlebell for a couple of lift exercises away from the body/core.
The sweet spot's probably a mix of the two, but I ended up sticking with traditional bells..

I'm a compact exercise equipment slickdeal collector so I have Selecttech 552 dumbbells from Walmart 2 years ago for $190, the Kettlebells from Prime Day $120, and now this Cap deal at $88 after price adjustment.

Between Cap and Kettelbells, if you have really tight space, the Kettlebells win taking only half the horizontal space of these dumbbells. Per arm, you can do 40lbs vs. only 25lbs with these dumbbells so these Kettlebells win for upright rows, and minor muscles like curls, tricept extensions. However, more important compound exercises for the core that involve both arms, Cap wins for deadlifts or squats simply because the total weight is 50lbs. Cap wins again for chest, another big compound exercise utilizing the full 50lbs weight. One kettlebell would be very awkward for chest presses or flys.

So in summary, the Kettlebell wins for isolation of the minor muscles. But for the major muscle groups, Cap wins out.

Mine came in and these are pretty nice. Especially for $78! Weight distribution feels different than regular dumbbells, but I kind of like it. At 25 pounds it feels heavier because of how it is distributed. Feels like more of a workout at the same weight. Go figure.

Love mine, they work great
Same here. Got mine at 110 a few weeks ago and very happy with them. 25 pound is enough for most exercises for most people. I also have the powerblock 50 pounds and I much prefer those cheaper walmart ones. It is easier to switch and I prefer the shape and feel. Also, but that is not true of all powerblocks, my powerblocks increment in 10 pounds (technically there are smaller weights inside you can remove but nobody will take the 30 seconds it takes to do it on a regular basis). So bottom line, I strongly recommend those at 88 dollars, great quality, feel and 25 pounds is enough for most.

I am fairly strong, though far from the strongest, probably in the 10 percent strongest adult male. And I must day 25 pounds will get most people somewhere. I think the only execrcice I can think of for which 25 pounds per hand is fairly light is bench press. But even then, it is not nothing and probably too much for 50 percent of the total adult population.

Are the plates on here plastic or cast iron? Maybe someone who owns these can let me know.

Are the plates metal? Curious about durability
