Amazon.com Product Description

Do away with your space-consuming workout equipment and consolidate to an innovative Bowflex SelectTech 1090 adjustable dumbbell. Offering adjustable resistance from 10 pounds all the way up to 90 pounds (in 5-pound increments),



The SelectTech 1090 does the work of multiple dumbbells in one with its innovative adjustable dial.

The 1090 dumbbell is outfitted with a single handle connected to a dial mechanism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tips for the DBs, June 19, 2009
By 
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech 1090 Adjustable Dumbbell (Single) (Sports)
First off, this is a great product, but I will not spend the time reviewing the great things about this product because I feel there are many other reviews that have already done that. Here are some things I found I thought should be helpful to others:

1) In the "most helpful critical review" it is listed that the rectangular chrome handles are a pain to deal with. This almost compelled me not to buy this product. However, after trying out the DBs, I did not find it much of a bother. The "rectangular" handles are pretty much round with a hint of "rectangulariness" if you will. Not much of a bother to me, but some thick tape cloth should remedy the problem if you have sensitive hands.

2) To those that do not want to buy the $150 stand, I found that instead of picking the DBs off the floor, you can simply make use of the shipping boxes as a custom made stand. Just turn over the Styrofoam and cut off the top lid of the box and place the DB within the box and... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality product, October 16, 2008
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech 1090 Adjustable Dumbbell (Single) (Sports)
I've been using the 1090's for a few weeks now. I have a very limited amount of workout space in my apartment so I don't have the room for a full dumbbell set. This set provides 90 lbs for each arm which is more than enough for every exercise that I do. 50 lbs was not enough so I'm glad I bought the 1090's vs. the 1050's.

The 1050's have a nice rubberized handle grip but the 1090's have an all metal grip with a rough texture. I find them less comfortable than the rubberized grip but a little tape takes care of the issue.

The dial selector is very good and is super easy to use. It just takes a couple seconds to dial in the weight you want and off you go. This is a very high quality product and it works very well.

The only drawback I've seen is that the bar is pretty long so you are using a large and long dumbbell even when you only need 10 lbs of weight. I've had some trouble doing double arm curls because the weights hit when I get my... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Strength Training Purchase I've Ever Made!!, November 15, 2009
By 
Barry Rabkin (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech 1090 Adjustable Dumbbell (Single) (Sports)
I'm a certified personal trainer, I've been lifting regularly for nearly a decade and after 3 months with my Selectech 1090 dumbbells I can tell you with absolute certainty they are the best purchase I've ever made to get a stronger, more muscular body.

First off let me tell you why I decided to get them since my motivations will help explain their benefits:

Already knowledgeable on lifting - Like I said, I'm a certified personal trainer and I already know how to do tons of exercises with proper form. If I had no idea how to do strength training, these dumbbells would be pretty intimidating, and I'd probably want to get a home gym machine to guide me through the proper motions.

180 is Just Right - For someone light the 1050's that are 50 pounds would probably be adequate resistance. By the same token, if your a 250 pound lineman on your Division 1 College football team, or a power lifter these weights will be inadequate for you. 180 pounds... Read more
