Love the channel and the energy you bring to your reviews! No matter what option you go with, it is amazing how expensive they are when you talk about building a full set. I have a 5-50lb set and the Pepin dumbbells to replace 50-120lbs. Just don’t have the space (or the money) to get 55-120lb dumbbells.

This video was really informative. I just hit 70lb dumbells for 12 reps on bench for the first time and looking to get a set of 80s soon. Ive been able to get good deals on dumbbells so far, but the deals may be over with the heavier weights. I have the rubber heads with ergonomics handle but am considering getting the fully knurled with rubber hex. Didn't consider those before this video, so thanks!

Got used to the full knurling from my local gym

I have been using IronMaster adjustable dumbbells. They have the knurling, can be dropped, and they feel like a regular dumbbell. The balance is even close after I added the heavy kit, which are plates that screw on the inside of the ends. It makes the dumbbell handle shorter and more similar to a regular. Without the heavy kit plates, the handle is longer to accommodate the end caps that screw into the end to hold the plates.

I’ve had mine since 2013 and used them nearly every day. They are indestructible. Way better than any other adjustable DBs. Price has gone way up though. Think I paid $500 for the 75lb kit plus the storage rack and then another $200 to take them up to 120lbs. It costs more than that for the basic DBs alone now.

I have the bowflex 1090’s and I have had no issues with them. I with they weee slightly heavier maybe a 100-105 lbs but I don’t ego lift anymore anyway. I set them down nicely and have had a couple of accident drops and they survived.

Hi NoFate247: Every different dumbbell sets have their pros and cons. My friends, and I have the Ivanko RM Dumbbells with the Steel 1.25 End Plates, purchased from Burbank Fitness in 1992. The M in RM is Machined. When we first decided to purchase a dumbbell set from 5-150 pounds, we looked at all of the different types. We had to make our fixed dumbbells by making the dumbbells with iron plates (2.5/5/7.5/10/12/15), and a dumbbell handle/bolts/steel end plates. Ivanko recommends using Locktite, and torquing the dumbbell bolts to 140 pounds. Sorry for the red color, not sure what happened.

I have the Fray Fitness ergonomic dumbbells (5-75lbs), and I ordered the gungnir dumblers with steel plates from WeightItOut to go from (80lbs-180lbs). Knowing what I uhh...know now, I probably wouldve gotten pro-style dumbbells instead of the ergonomic ones (of course, it was a purchase during the pandemic so its not like there were much choices), but Im very happy with what I got. And I got the dumblers because I wanted the option to get heavier weights without sacrificing space (and in the event that I do have to give up space, I can give up the fixed set knowing I had the dumblers).
