Question to anyone here who works out
Recently I haven't had much time to go to the gym so I decided to buy my own dumbells. I quickly realized adjustable dumbells are more cheaper than normal dumbells. I came across this:

Now my question is, is there a maximum weight which each handle can take? As you can see, the link above comes with 4-5lbs, 4-3lbs and 2-4lb handles. I was thinking about putting all the weight on one handle.
By this, I mean:
On one handle, put 2-5lb weights on each side (that makes 20lbs), then put 1-3lb weight on each side (so 26lbs) and with the handle weighing 4 lbs, in total it would be 30lbs (which is a good start off for me).
After, I plan on buying two more weighted plates, each weighing 10lbs. That way, on one dumbell handle, I can have: 2-5lbs and 1-10lb weight on each side, which would make 40lbs of weight on the dumbell handle.
My question is, how do I know if the handle is made to take 40lbs on one handle? Last thing I want is the handle breaking and the weights falling on me.

Edited by Erkyo: 6/11/2014 12:48:23 AMMy friend has similar dumb bells. it can handle the weight the problem was limited space on the handles. The spindles or whatever you want to call them that tightens aren't really reliable and come loose easily. We eventually just purchased regular solid dumbells at a used store such as Play it again Sports. Dumb bells there are 50 cents a pound which is 50% cheaper then buying brand new. Added a link for you.
