Professional Specifications:

1. Material & Build Quality

   • Steel Construction: Most professional-grade Olympic dumbbell handles are made from solid steel, often coated with chrome or black oxide for rust resistance.

   • Welded or Bolted Sleeves: High-end models feature seamless welded sleeves for durability.

2. Loadable Sleeve Length

   • Shorter Handles (6-8 inches): Ideal for quick workouts and limited space.

   • Longer Handles (10-15 inches): Allow for heavier weight stacking and progressive overload training.

3. Weight Capacity

   • Entry-level: 150-200 lbs per handle

   • Mid-range: 300-400 lbs per handle

   • High-end (commercial use): 500+ lbs per handle

4. Grip & Knurling

   • Medium-depth knurling: Provides a secure grip without causing excessive hand fatigue.

   • Handle diameter: Usually 28mm to 32mm, similar to Olympic barbells for a familiar grip feel.

5. Bearing vs. Bushing Sleeves

   • Bushings: More affordable, smooth rotation but with slight friction.

   • Ball Bearings: Premium models include ball-bearing sleeves, allowing rotation to reduce wrist strain.
