The clip DBs suck ass. Don't bother. The BowFlex are too expensive. Get these. You can probably find some used ones on Craig's List or a local used sporting goods store.

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
Thats what I meant by clips. lol sorry I must of worded it wrong. Alright thanks bro ill get those.
You'll need extra dumbells that can hold more weight sooner or later, but those are great for now.
I have but cant do sidebends becuse the bigger weights hit my nuts.
Hit your nuts on sidebends???
Soreness is weakness exiting the body.
yah i put a 45 on both sides and its to big do it without hitting my nuts.
I think we're gonna need pictures to understand that problem!
Those dumbells above are fine
I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?
I have these in my house.
Ironmaster :: Quick-Lock Dumbells :: Quick-Lock Dumbell System (75 lb set with Rack)
I like them a lot. I feel they are the most bang for your buck when it comes to adjustable dumbbells. All metal design no plastic to break. 5-75 lbs each with the option to go to 120 for a few bucks more.

got to agree here with those for adjustables. i bought mine a few years ago at sears. cheap but well made. you can put a shit ton of wieght on them with out a problem.
i bet in the world you live in every one is a pony, eats rainbows, and craps butterflys.
there is no damn justice in the world.
I know but isnt there a cheaper version of them?


I'll sell you a pair of these....
Sports Authority - Cap Barbell Olympic Solid 20-Inch Dumbbell Handle
"A child does not learn to squat from the top down -- in other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and makes the conscious decision to stand." - Gray Cook
Not sure what the price of steel is in the UK but it is pretty high here in the US.
I will provide a link to the cheapest sets that can get you to 75 lbs pairs and it is way more that what I got and takes up way more space.
CAP Hexagon Contour Handle Dumbbells
Please provide a link for this $2-300 set. I feel ripped off paying 450 to get a set of dumbbells that go from 5-75 lbs.
Ah I see our difference! you're talking about a set of dumbells - 1 pair at 5lbs 1 pair at 10lbs etc right? I was talking about a simple set of 1" bars with twist locking at 1" plates that you slot on like the ones DOMS recommended above - sorry!
I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?
NP on the differance. I figured we wern't talking about the same thing.
However the ones DOM showed are the cheapests, but I have never felt that safe with them. I guess that is why I have a set of them under my bed.
werd how do i mail the money to you?
Actualy looking back at the ones DOMS posted with the twist on nut would be safe. I have the ones that DoubleBase has with the collars that have the bolt that cranks down on the bar to hold the weight on. Those are the ones that scared me. The bars are stout it is just the collar that I had an issue with.
I agree with you entirely there Lost, if I were using those I'd be keeping my feet close together!!!![]()
