The Fitvids Adjustable Dumbbell Set offers multiple configurations. Follow these steps to assemble your desired setup.

3.1. Dumbbell Assembly

1. Select a dumbbell handle.

3.3. Kettlebell Assembly (if applicable to your set)

While the primary configurations are dumbbell and barbell, some sets may include additional components for kettlebell conversion. If your set includes kettlebell handles, attach them to a single dumbbell handle with plates, securing with collar locks.

4. Usage Guidelines

This adjustable weight set allows for flexible training. Adjust the weight by adding or removing plates to suit your exercise needs. The 40LB set allows for individual dumbbells up to 20LB each or a barbell up to 40LB.

• Adjustable Weights: Combine 4LB and 6LB plates to achieve desired weight increments. For example, one 4LB plate and one 6LB plate on each side of a dumbbell handle results in a 20LB dumbbell (handle weight included).
• Dumbbells: Ideal for individual muscle group training and sculpting fine movements.
• Barbell: Suitable for compound movements and stimulating larger muscle groups with heavier weights.
