hi sifu sifu there i am new to bodybuilding, i would like to buy dumbbell. i have looked at hypermarket like giant/tesco and even internet, i have found a pair of chrome dumbbell cost RM 170 from lelong

Material: Chrome with non-slip rubber grip
Colour: Silver
Weight: 15kg or 20kg
Detachable 0.5kg, 1.25kg, and 2.5kg weights (total weight includes spinlock collars and bar)
Includes durable case with slots for storage and easy-carrying

4x 0.5kg weights
4x 1.25kg weights
4x 2.5kg weights
4x spinlock collars
2x 14” bar

is RM 170 worth for this pair of dumbbell? I'd prefer chrome whole lot compared to black iron due to looks and not so prone to rust

All this is 100% useless unless you just want to build biceps and triceps.

yeap, i am just beginner so i just try a light one maybe if i am interested more i can proceed further with better equipment, now currently trying to build some bicep and tricep also reduce my tummy size

anyway that dumbbell worth for that price? i saw maxxwel 10kg dumbbell 1 handle also sell like RM110+

the handler rubber is quite irritating , i have to put plastic on top of it

Dumbbells are highly ineffective for weight loss.

Cardio and Diet is key to weight loss.

Dumbbell bench press
Dumbbell military press
Dumbbell bend over row

Yes/No
Cardio = weight loss is a myth bro

Weight loss is about caloric deficit

I have 2 set of dumbell to let go. Both 10kg. RM60 each
Reason being I moved to a new condo with gym facilities

The black is:
2x 2.5kg plate
2x 1.5kg plate
1x 2 kg bar

The silver is:
2x 1.75kg plate
4x 1kg plate
1x 2.5 kg bar

PM me if interested

This weight enough for biceps triceps and maybe shoulder press only. But good enough for beginner lar. Juat do regular pushup and pull ups for back and chest. Won't get super big, but good enough to be fit.

or you can DIY...

lots of them guides in youtube
