No shit? 52 is a good curling weight per arm. How much if you dont mind my inquiry?

$400 including the stand. Bowflex has a promotion on their site right now where you buy the weights at $400 and use a coupon for a free stand ($150 on Amazon) and free shipping.

I checked them out at the store before I bought them. They seem solidly made and the adjustment works really well. They are pretty wide (long?) for dumbells, which will probably feel pretty weird if I'm using them on lighter settings, but I think I can get used to it. They just got dropped off at my door last night, and I haven't had a chance to really test them out yet.

They are pretty pricey. I like working with dumbbells, but I hate swapping on the plates. The 90s would more than max out my heaviest lift (65 db for bench press) :uhhok:

Picked up an '86 Yamaha Virago VX700, a steal of a deal, and only 14k miles too! Next will probably be plane tickets for a bachelor party in Cabo

I've been eye-balling a set of those weights for a while, and that sounds like a good deal right now.
