these weight be heavy , and I can repeatedly pick they up and put they down . that be about what I be look for . they cost less than a month 's due for the YMCA for my wife and myself . since we have a new baby , I want somethign to keep I go inbetween visit to the Y. so I be totally stoke that I could get something heavy to pick up deliver to my house for a totally reasonable price . I get exactly what I pay for and do not regret it . these be not ... oh ... qulity weight . the plastic smell funny and remind I of a toy that you would buy at the drugstore . the bar have a feel like the metal in the tool that you can buy at Harbor Freight ... yeah , it be metal , but some kind of weird , cheap ore that must only be avialable in China . the weight spin on the bar no matter what I do . but yeah , I be totally happy with my cheap , junky weight set , if that make any sense . Perfect for what I want , and I be glad it be offer . Mine get here in great shape , so I guess my UPS man be just a beefcake .
