Valeo Neoprene Hand Weight
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-15 Summary: Great for rotator cuff exercise ... When I was told to use NO HEAVIER THAN 5 lb for rotator cuff exercise, I laughed out loud because I was obviously too tough and strong for those tiny little weights. I decided to use 15 and 10 lb that I used to work with when I was 4 years old. Few weeks later, my shoulder progressively has gotten worse and I almost had to get surgery because of it. I cried. So yeah, no matter how strong you think you are, try to use weights as light as 2 lb for rotator cuff. I know the colors are a turn off, but they're really cute ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-19 Summary: Great little weight set! ... I love this weight set! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that the stand isn't super strong. It's a little wobbly, which isn't helped by my uneven floor. It hasn't collapsed or anything, so that's good! The weights themselves are great! ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-02 Summary: Eight Pounders ... I shopped around a bit before deciding on these "PerformBetter Neoprene Dumbbells Black." It seems like a lot of companies were selling the exact same product but just charging you more for the brand name. These are especially nice when you realize that the price is for a matched pair, when some are sold separately! The dumbbells are exactly what I expected, and exactly what I wanted. I got the 8-pound size to do morning workouts with. They are hexagon-shaped which means they won't roll away when I set them down, and ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-01 Summary: It's exactly what it says it is. ... I bought a pair of 5lb and 3lb for a workout that I do and I am quite satisfied with this product. They arrived a day earlier than previously quoted by Amazon.com which was wonderful. They weigh what they're suppose to, the work looks very high quality and durable, the texture is nice and assures I won't be losing my grip on them, they don't smell like a previous reviewer stated they do (it must've been just their order). All in all, a solid product at a solid price at a solid deliver speed. I couldn't be happier. ...more
