Come with me as I tour a home gym "candy store".
A day trip to Honolulu, lead me to uncover a fitness store, called Total Fitness USA. This store has EVERYTHING you would need to outfit any home gym, even commercial gyms.
It was through Total Fitness USA that I am finally able to see first hand some equipment by Rep Fitness, Nuobell, and Rogue. And I must admit, that those brands do not disappoint.
Prices and shipping costs were not disclosed, so it remains to be seen if these name brands will finally make it into my gym...
If you are on Oahu, I highly suggest checking them out!

      Hi there. Many apologies for the long wait. I have not been able to get the long locking pin so I cannot say with 100% certainty the stats from Eisenlink's website is accurate. But here is what I was able to obtain: The long pin is 6.77 inches or 172mm (not including the knurled handle). Total length of the long pin plus handle is 7.2 inches or 185mm. The standard pin (the one I have) is 3.63 inches or 92mm (not including the knurled handle). Total length of the standard pin plus handle is 105mm. I find this stat hard to believe, but long pin (according to Eisenlink's website) is 2.5lbs or 1.1kgs. Which is the same weight as the standard pin that I have. Hope this helps and apologies again for the delayed response. Thanks so much for watching!

    Will a magnet stick to the Eisenlink dumbbells? If so, Harbor Freight sells a HFT 150 lb pull retrieving magnet that weighs 2.07 lbs for $9.99 each and a HFT 250 lb pull retrieving magnet that weighs 4.85 lbs for $19.99 each. The magnets would be a relatively cheap way to add additional weight to the Eisenlink dumbbells. For instance, two HFT 250 lb pull retrieving magnets (one placed on each end of the dumbbell) would increase a single 50 lb Eisenlink dumbbell to 59.7 pounds. There is an eye screw in the middle of each magnet, but if it can't be removed, the magnet could be placed in a manner that won't prevent bench pressing with the Eisenlink dumbbells.

      @@123.MikeCheck I found the weight of each magnet by asking the internet query, "What is the weight of the HFT 250 lb and the 150 pull retrieving magnets" on an AI website. If you are considering using other magnets from other manufacturers, I suggest you research the weight of each magnet by using an AI research website.

    Great review Man. I don't understand: the real weight of 20 kg official config is 22.50 ? And the "36 Kg mode" is 43.1 Kg? (obviously I don't see a problem with having more weight than you paid for LOL)

    • @123.MikeCheck
      @123.MikeCheck 8 місяців тому

      Hi there. I'm sure each set is different so I wanted to test the weight accuracy of my 50lb (22.7kg) set and am satisfied with how close it is. The other experiment was just to see how much I could physically load using the locking pin that came with my set. Turns out you can fit a maximum of 95lbs (43.1kg) which is more than its listed weight. But caution should be used when using more than the listed weight capacity. I hope this answers your question. Please reach out if you have any others. Many thanks for tuning in!

      Hi there. The long locking pin is on the market but looks like it's out of stock on Amazon and Eisenlink's direct site (as of Apr 24, 2024). I've seen it become available but these pins are growing in demand so they sell out fairly quick. When they do become available, I hope you would kindly consider using the affiliate link in the description. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have further questions.
