Dial in your weight with the MuscleSquad Quick Select – from 5kg up to 32.5kg
The MuscleSquad 5kg – 32.5kg Adjustable Dumbbell Set gives you 12 resistance settings across a wide weight range. It’s a flexible dumbbell set with plenty of options to fine tune your workouts.
You can pick weights from 5kg up to 32.5kg in 2.5kg increments. Unlike traditional, spin-lock adjustable dumbbell designs, the MuscleSquad models require no dismantling. Simply place it on the included dock, turn the dial to your desired weight and start lifting.

If you’re new to dial-style adjustable dumbbells, you might feel a little intimidated by the numbers on the outside of the plates. But clear instructions help you get up and running in no time.
The handle or the MuscleSquad 5kg – 32.5kg Adjustable Dumbbell Set is soft and textured for a secure yet comfortable grip. The gripping mechanism works smoothly and securely, too.

We experienced no clinking or movements with these weights. Throughout the entire resistance range, the plates stayed in position, giving confidence to try different exercises.
The dumbbell and dock have a surprisingly compact footprint
The kit is surprisingly compact with a small footprint. When in the tray, the set measures 210mm (H) x 420mm (W) x 200mm (D) so it’s ideal for storing in a bedroom or small gym.
It may seem expensive, particularly when compared to its smaller stablemate the MuscleSquad 2.5kg – 12.5kg Adjustable Dumbbell Set, but when you consider this set effectively gives you 12 dumbbells in one, and covers almost three times the resistance range, it starts to look much better value for money.
