Adjustable dumbbell pair Schildkröt Fitness 960012 – 10 kg total, chrome stainless steel, removable plates 2.5 kg & 1.25 kg

The Schildkröt Fitness 960012 adjustable dumbbell pair is a compact 10 kg cast-iron set finished in chrome stainless steel, supplied as two short bars with removable plates. Each bar measures approximately 30 cm and is fitted with a safety thread and star-shaped collars with rubber rings to secure plates. The set contains two 2.5 kg plates and two 1.25 kg plates per pair (distributed between the two bars) so you can change the load in small increments for progressive resistance, targeted muscle work and full-body routines at home.

Advantages

The adjustable design allows incremental weight changes using removable 2.5 kg and 1.25 kg plates, offering flexibility for different exercises and fitness levels. Chrome-plated bars and cast-iron plates provide durability and corrosion resistance for long-term home use. Star-shaped safety collars with rubber rings ensure the plates remain firmly in place during dynamic movements. The compact dimensions and moderate total weight make the pair suitable for small training spaces and easy storage.

• Progressive strength training and muscle hypertrophy

How to use

Select the desired combination of 2.5 kg and 1.25 kg plates to reach the target load per dumbbell, slide the plates onto the threaded bar, and secure them firmly with the star-shaped collars. Use proper lifting technique: control the movement through the full range of motion, maintain a neutral spine and braced core, and choose a weight that allows correct form for the prescribed repetitions. For bilateral exercises perform the same movement on both sides, and for unilateral work use one dumbbell at a time while stabilizing the body.

Usage recommendations

Inspect collars and screw threads regularly for tightness and wear. Start with lighter combinations when learning new exercises and increase weight in small steps using the 1.25 kg plates to avoid sudden overload. Keep plates dry and store the set in a dry place to maintain the chrome finish and cast-iron surfaces.
