The set came in a surprisingly small package that was mainly held together by tape. At the mere weight is clear that this is no joke articles. Discs and rods are packed between layers of paper, and individual slices are deep dents in the jacket. The chromium plating of the rods and clamping nuts is not absolutely perfect - who expects art, perhaps one should rather choose a chrome kit.
The discs are not covered with rubber, but rather a kind of soft plastic. For appearance and usability that does not matter. The fun starts with the assembling of dumbbells, pulleys made of cast iron are more compact than sand or concrete-filled plastic discs and the finished product is calling us to immediately begin an exercise program. With my lighter tipped second set I create more repetitions, although the 30-kilo-set is used and spurs to train harder. Anyone who wants to seriously lift weights, is the set incorrectly under any circumstances.
