DUMBBELLS

what kind of dumbbells do you use?
 
i use the cheap junk from wal mart with the rubber in the middle but when i slide the plates on, the rubber shrinks as i tighten the plates to stay on the bar. now im looking for all metal dumbells. i can put as much weight on as i want without haveing 50 different weight sizes lying around.
 
 
any suggestions?

I have learned that I am too lazy to keep adjusting dumbells with little plates - I'd rather have a set in the weight groups I use most. They don't take up a lot of space.

My friend has those. I think those aren't bad, especially for the price. Don't take my word for it, though, haha.

i have a pair not sure who they are made by but i never use them, i just got a new membership to fitworks :)

I have a massed a number of different adjustable dumbells over the past couple of years.

All of mine (4 different manufactureres) weight 5 lbs (oops no one weights 3lbs), they are all basically the same They vary in length, some are more hollow than others, the threading varries  slightly, some are cut better than others.

So it boils down the longer ones have more room to accomidate more plates. And if you end up with a variety, you have to keep the collars mated to the bar, because other wise there will be slight weight differances. Other than that it really doesn't matter when it comes to those things.

I've ended up buying dumbbells progressively in 5 lb increments, since I also don't want to have to keep changing out plates if I want to change the weight between sets, etc.  Makes a bit of a mess, but not that bad really.  The biggest visual problem is that none of them match each other....

fresh out of hot pink after i used it all up on my car.

Those bowflex dumbells always seemed pretty convenient and a good space saver, but I bet they are expensive.

I've been buying the hex ones - look at them as a long-term investment that will last for decades.

i use the heavy ones


i have a pair of screw on db's.  they have about 15 pounds on them which isn't useful anymore.  what can i do with 15 lb db's besides shoulder side raises?

for the record, it's not the actual bowflex, but a set of dumbells they came out with.  Not a bad idea in theory, just waaay too expensive for the product.
