Dumbbell Rack

How to adjust

  1. There are no adjustable parts — you select the dumbbell pair/weight from the rack.

How to use

  1. Select a matched pair of dumbbells for your exercise from the rack.
  2. Perform your exercise nearby with enough clearance from the rack.
  3. Return both dumbbells to their matching slot on the rack when finished.

Safety notes

  • Check your footing and grip before lifting a dumbbell off the rack, especially heavy pairs on lower shelves, bending at the knees/hips rather than rounding your back.
  • If you run out of strength mid-set, bring the dumbbells down to your thighs and set them down under control; on a lying press, hug them to your chest, roll up to sitting and then put them down — never let them drop backward or throw them out to the side.
  • Keep enough open floor space around the rack to perform your exercise without hitting the rack or other lifters.
  • Return dumbbells to the rack rather than dropping them on the floor, which is a trip hazard for others.
