Yes, these ARE 40 lbs weights. BUT, they come with a horrible, strong odor of chemicals/gasoline. And after using them twice, the silver paint on the handles comes off in my hands.
It must be hard to screw up simple weights like these, but these guys have.

This set DOES contains the advertised weight!
4x 5lb Plates
4x 2.5lb Plates
AND
2x 5lb Dumbbell Handles!
Please, when using this equipment note that the handles themselves weigh 5lbs each -- they are not, in fact, weightless! When each dumbbell is fully loaded, they weigh 20lbs EACH:
(5lb handle + 2x5lb plate + 2x2.5lb plate = 20lbs)
Enjoy this set and be safe!
Friends don't let friends practice bad form!

the weight is supposed to be 40Lbs with the bar and the plates so that's why it has only 30LBs of free weights.
