Thread: All in one Dumbbells

Powerblocks are the best, by far. They go clear up to 105lbs. They are pricey however.

Very nice. Not to bad in price. 600$ for 5-90lbs. I'm gonna try to find them second hand on Ebay or Craigslist. Thanks.

Yep those are it. They are pretty good. Besdies you know you need more than 50's. IMO that would be a waste of money.

It is and it isnt. If you fuck yourself up and find yourself rehabilitizing yourself(was that 3 times I said that?), then youll want those lighter weights.

Dont forget the light ones are great for rotator work, lunges, raises etc.

Well if you get the heavier ones in this case, then the lighter ones come along as well.

You mean, if your MAX weighted DBs is say..150, then you get 150 down to 5lbs?

This is correct.

Ok but what about THAT post?

I am lost, which doesnt take much!

Right here baby, all in one thats all I need...

That's the set I have, but let me give you some advice. Go ahead and spend the extra $$$ now and get the add-ons that take the set up to 125 lbs. You'll definitely want the extra weight eventually and it's much less expensinve to get them all at once.

There great for saving room, but are very pricey.

yea, but they aren't as pricey as buying a full set of DBs from 10-100.

That's true, but I couldn't see a gym buying one of those to replace their whole dumbell arsenal.

I have a powerblock, adjustable up to 125lbs

Just get a bar that you can put plates on... way cheaper and adjustable to anything

Defintely not, considering only one person can use the powerblock at a time.

I agree, don't you already have plates? just get olympic dumbbell bars

The DB bars are good, but you cant bench with 45's on there. I stack a few 25's on there, but it gets difficult whenever you get up there in weight.

Ha, now that would be funny to see. A guy flat DB pressing with 45's on the bars.

not a big chain gym, true.

But, a lot of smaller studios and some of the performance facilities like Velocity, have power blocks because they take up so little space and leave room for the other equipment.

the ones i have seen look incredibly awkward
