Pace Weights?

[hrcfitness]

Hi All,
Im confused about the paceweights. I have the steel dumbbells with the hexagon ends...do i just buy one set of paceweights, do they come in different weights??? Who has them and can recommend what I get and where I get them from...someplace on line would be great...thanks!

Pace Weights are 1/2-pound magnetized blocks that you can add to metal dumbells and barbells (I wouldn't recommend them on vinyl-coated weights). They come in only one weight (the 1/2 pound), and I don't think you can buy them other than from the Pace site ( http://www.paceweights.com/products/index.htm ) .

You can buy them in sets of either 9 or 18, with or without a carrying case. (I bought the set of 18 with the case, which allows me to add 4.5# to each dumbell, so I can gradually transition between dumbells that are 5# apart---like going from 20# to 25#, or 25# to 30#).

I think the case is a good idea, because it protects the weights, and protects other items from their magnetism, and is also a way to keep them neat and organized.

I haven't used them yet, but I plan to for STS.

thank you so much! I was confused about which one's to get and I think im going to order exactly what you have....i want to be ready for STS!!!

One correction: I just revisited the site, and I see you can buy single Pace Weights (though I still think the set of 18 is the best way to go, for spanning the 5# gap between weights, as I mentioned above).

I have them!!

I LOVE using my pace weights. I bought the case w/ the 18. I agree w/ Kathryn...easier to keep together and away from other stuff.

I like the idea that I can go from 15lbs to 16lbs and then to 17lbs...comes in handy!

take care

Pace weights are the best purchase I've ever made....I'm very happy with mine. You won't regret this purchase at all.

They also had a really great idea at the RT. Cathe and crew were wearing weighted gloves for increasing by smaller increments. I think that that's what I'm going to do, but I also have some smaller weights that I can use as well.
