Shut up.

I got these last week. I do think they're great. They could definitely make a heavier set just by filling in the hollow spaces on these, if REP wanted to do that. I also bought some narrow self-sticking weather seal (3/8" width, 3/16" thick) and put it on just the part below the lock. In most movements, it significantly reduced the jiggle (nearly eliminated it on the lower weight), which is kind of annoying that it only took $5 at Lowe's to fix it.

Great product by rep. Adjustable DBs have evolved so much in the last 4 or 5 years. Thanks for comparing all the different types. Keep up the good work. Also work on your Bulganin split squat Whinny is killing you. Haha

I think a lot of people did but I can see why they stopped here. Could've possibly tweaked a few things to get them up a little higher but if their plan was always to release a heavier set than I guess it makes sense they settled on this design.

I just got bowflex dumbells and bars, for 500 dollars total pretty much new, but if the dumbells break i will be getting REP set 😍

When will they drop the 120's? Also I really appreciate the teardown - that's one of the main reasons I was put off by NUOBELL.

Was waiting for this one! Just got powerblock exp sports with both expansions to 90lbs new for $400. Was torn between the reps and those but the cheaper price for heavier weight made me pull the trigger.

They all have compromises. But if you want quick changes at 90 pounds I still think Powerblocks are the best option for most people. If you don't care about quick changes, then Ironmaster.

I never dropped a dumbbell either. Until one day I did. Just getting into position for bench like I had a thousand times before I was a little careless, lost the balance and down they went. My Powerblocks were fine, but I was a bit rattled. All dumbbells should be able to withstand some drops because if you use them a lot you probably will drop them at some point.

Wait a glucking minute, where did you get blue Nuobells?

Ironmasters will always be the best no comparison They are fairly inexpensive The go heavy as hell They are not bulky When you add the heavy handle kit they balance better and they go even shorter Thy don't rattle all the other adjustable dumbbells make noise lol And lastly they are not as slow to change weights.

3:57 worth the price of admission 🤣

I would prefer to get drop resistant dumbbells but those arent available in Europe. The company Atletica offers 40kg (88lbs) adjustable dumbbells called Switch with a similar mechanism to Nüobell but according to them, their internals are made out of metal and they offer 5 years of warranty. I think i will buy those since Snodes, Peppins and REPs arent available and hope for the best.

Definitely interested in seeing those as well.

I live close to a Rep showroom so I was able to get these with a 10% no ship discount. So far so good. Changing weights is a breeze and they feel good. Should be bulletproof. I train at a commercial gym but use a pair at home for extra arm/forearm/shoulder work so capping out at 60lbs won't be a problem for a long time, if ever. I agree with what others have said and would look to a separate pair of ironmasters if I wanted to go heavier. You could still use the Reps (or something similar) for warmups and the ironmasters for working sets. Heavy dumbbell work is more niche than the internet makes it out to be but I'm happy the heavier versions are coming out for those that want/need them.

@plmn93

5 ай бұрын

True, but I found that as I got older I liked using dumbbells more for heavy work since they put my wrists, elbows, and shoulders in more ergonomic positions than a bar, which helped recover from and prevent further injury. I also bought the PhenoX Maverick Bar that Gluck reviewed over a year ago and that's even better since there's less risk of injury while getting into position or failing a lift. So I could go lighter again with dumbbells, but I simply enjoy using them.

I never understood the complaint of “caged in” feeling of powerblocks- who are these people with wrist claustrophobia?

I have a question that I've been throwing out every single time I see the rotating handle adjustable dumbbells, I still haven't gotten a proper answer on it maybe you can give me one. If I was to do a clean and jerk or snatch would the rotation of the movement actuate the dumbell possibly raining plates everywhere?

@GlucksGym

5 ай бұрын

It shouldn't because they require the cradle to rotate. The cradle has a piece that sticks out and pushes a button that allows the weights to be changed.

@BrandonSchwartz1

5 ай бұрын

The internals for Nuobell is just a small piece of plastic stopping the rotation. I’m sure if you yanked it hard enough there’s a small chance of it breaking eventually. I’d stick with a fixed handle or even a loadable sleeve that spins for those types of movements if you’re apprehensive

Seems like a great durable option for 60lbs and under. Heck I’d take them on a road trip if I wanted some medium level weights while I travel knowing if I drop them they won’t shatter like nuobells

Switched from Powerblocks to these after 6 years and am overall glad that I did. My biggest complaint is figuring out the weight changes at 2.5 lbs. Doing 12.5, 22.5, etc “makes me question my intelligence” as he says and I always put them on a scale to be sure. I’m not super smart, but it’s definitely something that takes some getting used to. Love them otherwise though!

If I didn't have power-blocks already I'd go for these. Rep is quite good at finding the sweet spot between quality and cost IMO. Also for heavier than say 70lbs I probably don't want adjustables at that point. I'm at 70 with the power blocks and when I need heavier, I'll probably just buy a set of 80's and 90s rather than get the additional add on, probably.

the length is what bothers me about these

Is it just me or having to make these drop resistant is ridiculous? Do you really need to smash them to the ground? Well, if you do you better pay extra for them one way or another ... I prefer to just take care of my equipment.

I like them, I just wish they were heavier. If anything happens to my lighter set of adjustable dumbbells, I'd seriously consider these, though.

2:40 ... erhm, wrong... a traditional and very typical dumbbell, has a diameter of 32mm in the handle. At least in ALL of EU.

I had these on order but canceled them for the Snodes... I doubt that I will ever drop them from over 30in and the 5# magnet weight isn't a deal breaker for me... However, wanting to do 75# incline db presses and my weight only going up to 60# is a deal breaker 😂

My 70lb Powerblocks serve me fine, but these are darn tempting...

I love the design and how they look. The fact that you can just buy the replacement plates is a plus. However, the dumbbell looks too bulky for just 60 lbs. I would wait for the 120lb ones and hope that they aren't super long.

I’ve had these for a while. Silly that I had to do the exact same thing and use an oil based paint pen to color the weight markings. I was worried that with the V design on the outside of the plates it would be uncomfortable resting on the thighs between sets, but no issues there. I wish Rep would offer a stand for them. I was told their solution is to put them on the floor since they are flat on the bottom 😂 Overall, good buy and you get a killer warranty and great quality for the price. They are not nearly heavy enough for some exercises, but there are plenty where they are just fine
