Nüobell - The Best Adjustable Dumbbells For Most People?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лют 2021
- I've been getting a ton of questions about the Nuobell adjustable dumbbells (especially since people have been seeing them in the background of my videos). Today I give you a break down on why I think they can be great, as well as a few reasons you may want to avoid them.
Huge thanks to URBNFYT for providing these to me for review. At the time of release they're now accepting pre-orders (4 week lead time to ship):

Great review Brandon! Hilarious lighthearted dig on Coop!
I have the Bowflex adjustable dumbells and they're good, but I wanted something like those you reviewed here for several reasons. First, the adjustable mechanism is great since you're already putting your hands on the handle! Mine you have to turn dials on either end. Second, these look much more compact from end to end and mimic standard dumbells in that regard. There's always going to be play on anything adjustable AFAIK, but there's give and take with most everything.
I think there's still no clear cut winner at the end of the day, just a matter of which trade offs you're willing to deal with.
I've been using these for 3-4 months now. No issues so far. I agree that I am nervous they may get damaged if dropped onto a hard surface. Overall very happy with them.
Thanks for the feedback!
Way to start my day. Thanks Brandon, love all that you do man!!
appreciate that dude
I have those (in kg) and I love them! 6 months down the road and no wear and tear at all! The stand is worth it! Great Video and Channel! Cheers from Munich!
Thanks for the first hand feedback!
Gruß aus Nürnberg 👋🏽
Have u dropped them at all?
Wie schneiden sie so nach 2 Jahren ab? Überlege mir sie zu kaufen, aber bin noch unschlüssig wegen der Plastikteile..
Always a pleasure to see something Brandon has taken through the paces. Thank you for your hard work.
Shakeweight review coming next obviously.
Drop them!! I’ve been waiting for a reviewer to actually drop them.
Lol can't do it!
Why drop them? Too weak to set them down? Lol
@@beri232 it makes people feel big boy tough to drop them and/or yell
@@adeep187 I think you're right. For what I paid for mine I wouldn't be dropping them anywhere but back into their cradles/stand. I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of my Nuobells..... gottem about 1 month ago.
I'm glad you addressed the handle length. I was thinking to myself those handles look real short. That itself for me is a deal breaker.
I have big hands, but there's no room if you want to adjust grip, which I sometimes like to do depending on the movement I'm doing.
I just ordered these. I was torn between these and powerblock Sport exp 90s and I couldn’t find the stage 2 anywhere for those at the moment. So I went with these. I like that these are small for the lower weight and gain size with weight unlike some that are full size no matter what weight is loaded. I also like that there is no cage for them like a powerblock. I’ve been lifting for probably 20 years and I’ve never dropped a dumbbell. My weight lifting coaches always said if you can’t put them down, don’t pick them up. I did however order with the 3 year extended warranty. Well worth it with newer devices made with plastic. I don’t really think 80lbs is gonna cut it but it’s better to have these and some 90s, 100s, 110s and 120s than 5-120 in dumbells. I’ve used the iron masters too. They are nice but still not as convenient as these or powerblocks. They’re still expensive too once you start adding expansion packs. They also have abnormally long handles. I like to be able to change my grip up and down the dumbbell in order to change where the tension is but holy rip, the iron master grips make the weights long AF. Hard to supinate a curl without hitting my hips. I hope these work out for me. Came out to a little over $900 with shipping and extended warranty.
Hope you like them. I agree about being a bit more careful with them. I don't drop my fixed dumbbells either lol
I mean you could always expand from 80lbs by buying individual dumbbells.. At least you condensed so much space from 5-80lbs in one small footprint 👍🏼
True
THIS. I owned ironmaster dumbbells and practicality wise, they were just inconvenient to change them inbetween workouts and definitely made me stay away from super sets or drop reps. Sold em, got nuo dumbbells with addition heavier dumbbells that i needed, havent looked back since. Plus, its really hard to even get your hands on ironmaster even now.
@@BasementBrandon literally what I said aloud lol
If you can remember please do a long term review. I wonder about the changing mechanism being “overuse”.
While I think these are useful, I prob won't end up keeping them just b/c my full set serves such a better purpose for my style of training.
There are a few Nuobell sets available on Finer Form right now(2-16-21), they just got a shipment in this morning and most were pre-order but a few up for grabs. They are an authorized reseller for Nuobell.
Right on!
dude good looking out -- I had a preorder from Urbnfyt in I was able to get since Brandon gave the heads up in this video, but finer form offers the nuobells cheaper and with free shipping! Was able to snag a set.
@@larsreichenbach799 Yeah, I ordered a set from Finer Form the same day as my first post and got them in yesterday, so three days from ordering to receiving them along with free shipping. They are sweet! I am thinking of posting a review that has some different details from what Coop and Brandon included in their reviews.
I was about to buy these but I can’t get past the fact that,
1) doesn’t go past 80lb
2) can’t drop them
3) plastic wears down over time
Makes sense!
Which means the IRONMASTERS STILL REIGNS AS KING 👑
@SuperHaitiano Yeah I feel like the mechanism is probably still metal and perhaps the plastic is just a cover or something? I know my York adjustable dumbbells are like that and they've lasted me a decade and still work.
I agree about to much plastic in the inner mechanisms. They will break !
Yeah same here, I can easily do over 90lbs too and that’s also the reason why I haven’t bought powerblocks (and also because they are never in stock now). I just went with the standard dumbbells and got $70 handles, and $200 worth of plates for them from Walmart. They go up to 125lbs/ handle and those things are not going any where for a very very long time.
Trying to decide between the Ironmaster and Nuobell. I suppose that as long as I don't drop the Nuobell I should be fine? I like the fact that they're easy and quick to change weight settings as opposed to the Ironmaster.
Yes, don't drop them and they'll serve ya well!
I love these dumbbells. I just wish they went to a higher weight range. It may require a handle upgrade to accommodate the heavier weight but that is the case with conventional dumbbells anyway.
The limiting factor would likely be the ability to accomodate the number of selections in the handle but from my perspective I would be prepared to buy two sets, ie., one from low to mid range and a second from mid to high range.
agreed!
just ordered the 80 pd variety...super excited
Nice!!
It's weird. I never noticed until this video that Coop really has the hands of a child.
It's just b/c he's always alone you don't get much context for how small he is.
I think he’s only 6’9”
Is the handle 100% secure when out of the cradle and using them? The core home fitness handle moves slightly.
haven't noticed any wobble
Any issues with these over the last year?
Also, have you had a chance to look into Snode's offerings? AD50 and AD80? Seems like a competitor to the Nuobell by design and decreasing the amount of plastic being used.
They live at my friends garage now, he hasn't had any issues, but I have seen some with issues with the plastic holding up.
You mentioned the handle length being a little small, do you have an actual measurement of the handle length? Trying to find dimensions for this are proving difficult. Thank you sir.
Ah I gave these to a friend in need so I don't have them right now.
Cool just to see the review, I was really debating myself for something like this but I didn't want to chance a mechanical issue. Plus I really want to drop shit even when I'm not working out, I like walking over to my stuff , pick it up and drop it for a rep and be done for the day 😉
Ironmasters it is!
Got some Built bars on order. Thanks for the discount!
appreciate it!
Love the "Coop" hand, LOL!
Just jokes :)
Great review. It will be nice to do a video comparing them to the 50lbs adjustable Snode dumbells . I just bought the Snode, awesome!
Right on!
How are they holding up? I wanted them so bad but I went with Nuobell instead.
@@enriquel1993 hey...their still holding up, I use them frequent and still awesome. I love them.
@@atorres205 that's awesome bro! Enjoy them 💪🏽
Curious as to how these have held up for you? Everyone has mentioned the plastic and some reported that part cracking. Part of me question if they were thrown around by them or if these are just isolated situations? I am not a dumbbell dropper but still a bit concerning at the price point. I'm just doing basic strength training in the garage alone so I will not be training for competitions etc.
I actually gave these to a friend as I found I wasn't using them much with my full DB set I have. He's had them for about 4 months and hasn't had any issues.
Thanks, great review!
Thanks for watching!
Just ordered the 80 pounders. Didn't see a color option when I ordered but I might have my painter at work paint them for me. I'm super excited. Have been limited to 40 pound dumbbells for 5+ years
Right on! What color are you thinking?
@@BasementBrandon snow white. I thought I was original with the black and white color scheme. I guess great minds think alike.
Killed me with the shots at coop. That was slick
He's my dude, just jokes :)
@@BasementBrandon Haha, I don't believe it. Y'all should handle the beef with a boxing match . . . Seems like the cool thing to do nowadays 😄
I love these DBs more than any other adjustable db I’ve used. Only downside is the lack of weight. I wish they’d use some heavy duty metal instead of plastic inserts and expand the system to 120.
I’m still keen to try the iron masters. I hate the power block shape lol
Stop being so strong, problem solved.
I wonder if there was enough interest if they would make an 85-120lb (or more) set. I’d be happy to still just be down to two dumbbells and would mitigate the lack of expansion.
I would think so
I'm sure curling inside the rack was put in there just to get a reaction as well as the curling on the bike... Very funny. Keep up the great videos. Fair review
Lot of factors go in to making a decision, the key one being, how do they work in a squat rack.
I love mine. I don't really drop 50lbs or less. I have hex dumbells for heavier sets that I may drop. Its perfect to save money and space with the smaller weights
Right on! Thanks for the feedback.
Watching this while unpacking my new ironmaster quicklocks. #Timing
Given the choice I'd rather have Ironmasters for the way I train.
@@BasementBrandon Is that just because of the higher weight availability, dropability (not sure that is a word), or other?
@gzsprout ... Hopefully your ironmaster set doesn’t have the issue where the plates comes apart while lifting like this Amazon user: www.amazon.com/Ironmaster-75-Quick-Lock-Adjustable-Dumbbell/product-reviews/B000GE5QRM
@@Thumper99TA both!
Iron master is the way to go. Wouldn’t buy these for the durability aspect and not worrying to drop if need be
What is the actual size of the handle? You mentioned it is small, but how small? I saw a similar set on Amazon that said it was 10 cm, which is about 4 inches.
I'd say between 4-5
Ha baby arm. I like the knurled handle. Powerblock is way too much dough to get that option. They seem good 👍. Liked the curling dumbells in the squat rack Easter egg haha. Another fine review 👌.
I think right now there's no clear cut "best" it always comes down to which trade offs you can live with.
B, I’m gunna try making my own expansion sets for the USA elite power blocks as they haven’t been in stock for what seems like a full year.
Will share the info, video/pics
Get after it!
They were just in stock a few weeks ago
@@powerbar8991 correct, I actually snagged the expansions sets last Wednesday!
Thanks
Yup, those bells are orange, but it goes pretty well with your pink hoodie
lol
"Yeah, you're in alright." -She
let's hope
There is also another adjustable dumbbell set just like these by Core Fitness, I think they might have came out first before NÜOBELL. They’re basically the same, components and everything except they only go from 5-50 lbs ($350 price point) and the handle is rubber instead of metal knurling. I have the Core Fitness ones and they’ve held up pretty well for the 7-8 months ive had them. But about a month ago my friend did drop them after a set of dumbbell press and they landed at a weird angle, causing the plates to come off of the retractable mechanism. But after messing with it for a little I was able to fix it, and it still good to this day.
Yeah I think this is the new "design" as I know a few companies utilizing something super similar to this with a few changes.
I know this is way past time, but did you like these better than your iron masters? Looking to purchase my first set for the gym.
It depends on how you train and what you want. Go for the IM if you want the most similar to feel of dumbbells with heaviest adjustability and you don't do a ton of drop sets. Go with the Nuo if you are fine with 50 or 80lbs mas weight, not being able to drop, and you want the quickest adjustable ones.
Really nice dbs. That being said I still prefer ironmasters but I’m still waiting to win a lottery. 80 lbs is just not heavy enough for things like db presses
80 lbs isn't enough for concentration curls
I think for anyone who wants to train for pure strength, the IM are superior (assuming you don't do drop sets)
You can do your head work with the bar and just use these for the parrrrmp
look awesome but the ironmasters go heavier and are cheaper lb for lb i think. Iron master are also fully metal and there's no rattling and have longer more grippy handles apparently. Only negative is there's been none in stock in the uk for weeks and they take longer to change weight
I do prefer the ironmasters for my style of training, although if you're looking for adjustability, these are tremendously easier.
How are these for dumbbell push-ups? Do they feel sturdy enough for that?
Didn't try
The fact you talked about people who train in there bedroom. Makes me respect you far more than other reviewers ....
I know my audience lol
Question, does a magnet stick to the outside of the round plates ? I want to add 1,25/2,5lbs to have a finer degree. Can someone check please ? Thanks !
Not sure, I gave these to a friend.
How long have you had these? Just trying to get an idea how well they will hold up.
2 months
Any recommended adjustable dumbbells that are in kgs? I'd be fine getting lbs if necessary, but it'd be nice to be consistent with kgs if possible.
Not sure TBH, haven't seen any on this side
Wish there were more adjustables on the market that didn't have such a low weight cap. Guess I'll keep waiting for ironmasters.
Yeah I think the issue is the mechanism needed to do so, for most at the point where they're super heavy they get so big they stop being useful.
I have the Weider Core Spacesaver 100 adjustable dumbbells. They are cheap but I have had them for over 10 years. Just have to tighten some bolts every now and then. My problem is I am just too strong now for the 50 pounds max per dumbbell. 80 would probably be enough but for the price I would rather just get the Ironmaster set. I can use the old weider set for supersets and have the option to go heavier than 80lbs.
Right on man!
I bought these off rouge about a month ago there great but I treat them like a baby , I do not know how the warranty would work , would it be smart to buy a extra pair of Handles off company and the holders , just in case you know how availability is these days
appreciate the first hand feedback!
Gotta love that REP plyo box...so versatile :) Thanks for the vid! Love the warranty but wish there were less sounds when using them...the perfect adjustable dumbbell is yet to be made!
I think there's still no clear cut winner at the end of the day, just a matter of which trade offs you're willing to deal with.
Thanks for the review and the previous ISF weights. Oh, "Are you in" LOL "Yeah your In alright". LMAO. Thats was funny!!!! Keep the reviews coming and appreciate what you do!!!!
Thanks Stanley
Shots fired at 6:05 😂😂😂 Coop complained that the handle was too big on the IM dumbbells too...
#softhands
I personally think powerblocks are the best. I have the urethane commercial versions that are expandable to 175 (I currently have the 125s) they work extremely well, they can be drop although I don’t do it often & they look badass. I don’t care that they’re not shape like regular dumbbells only thing I wish is that they had knurled handles and not the rubber contour grips. (Plus I’ve had them for 2 years+ now and still look and operate new)
Just never liked the feel of them or how they adjust personally!
After you" click" in a weight, remove the DB from its stand, are the handles then locked in place, so there is no danger of the handle "clicking" while doing a rep and the weights fall off ?
Correct. You can only change weights while they're in the carriage
@@mmjsfca Thanks, Michael.
Yes, cradle basically has a release key that allows for adjusting.
Hello to all,
I noticed that there are some websites showing different dimensions of the Nuo dumbells. Can anyone please provide me with clarification on the exact dimensions of Nuo 80-pound dumbbells without the cradle?
Thank you
Ah just gave these to a friend.
I love how coop and bb gives us reviews and comedy at the same damn time! When the video collab drops, I'll probably fan boy out and die or something 🙌🏿🙌🏿 which is completely fine after that
He's a much better reviewer than I am, but I think I can outlift him :)
@@BasementBrandon 😂😂 love you guys both! Thanks for the content brother!
Are replacement parts available if any of the plastic pieces do break after the 2 year warranty or from damage due to dropping and how hard is it to replace if they are available? Also, please do crank out a few sets on a bench and drop them to see how they hold up. The world not only wants but NEEDS to see for a real review 🙏🏼 I’m very much sold on them aside from not being durability and time tested and proven. Would hate to spend $800 on them and have to order a whole new set because I dropped them once and replacement parts were not available
They tell you not to drop them, so I don't see a point in doing so for a video when it's pretty obvious they'd break :)
It's not a matter of if they break or wear out, it's a matter of when. Their two year warranty is a pretty big red flag.
Would you recommend strength co adjustable dumbbells?
Depends. Personally I don’t like the mini barbell loadable type. If you don’t mind that they’re similar to rogues, so high quality but still not ideal for my own tastes.
Nice video these are good but the problem is 80ibs was a bit light had to go with a Bowflex which gives you 90ibs/ 40kg. Power blocks are decent but the shape and changing of weight looked a bit awkward especially when you are transitioning between weight ranges fast.
A shame not seen any dumbells this style with the quick change actually reach 40kgs.
Btw colour was orange imo.
Yeah I think no matter which one you pick there are trade offs, need to decide based off which factors are most important to you IMO
Your dumbbells look to be in better shape than mine upon arrival. The number call outs on mine were already significantly faded; I’m going to have to fill them in with some sort of white marker in the future. There were also scratches on every single one of my plates, and the packaging they came in was fractured and mishandled. It’s all a bit unsettling when you pay $915 USD.
Did you have any of these issues?
Who did you order through? Mine showed up with each DB packed in it's own box with tons of stryafoam. The handle was wrapped in it's own bag, as was the remaining weight plates, all in the cradle already so no real room for movement.
@@BasementBrandon I ordered through Rogue, although the handling of the package was through smrtft. Mine also came with styrofoam, but it was fractured all throughout as if it were crushed by the items. Rogue contacted them on my behalf, and apparently such workmanship and handling issues are considered normal for a new set. I then contacted smrtft directly, and they initially told me the product wasn’t theirs. I’ve been rerouted to Rogue CS for clarification, of which I have still gotten none of haha
Awesome vid! TY
Glad you liked it!
Your thoughts on the Nordictrack 55lb dumbells?
no first hand experience
I have the 80 lb set and they're freaking awesome
Right on!
What do you all think about these vs the core fitness adjustables? They seem super similar and nobody really compares them too much.
Core Fitness doesn't go up this high and is made of a lot more plastic.
@@BasementBrandon
Gotcha. I think the core fitness might be good enough for my aging parents. Even the 50lb Nuobell ends up being close to 1k with stand and shipping! Nuts
@@kozmo7 they’re trash really bad reviews on Amazon
Do you still have them ?
I think that they can't be dropped is a huge disadvantage. Even more than people might think initially.
That pretty much removes the possibility of failing a rep on a lot of movements . And it even removes high RPEs in some cases, as you might , say, get the last OHP up but then you're too fatigued to bring them down gently and you need to dump them
These live in my friends gym now.
Which plyo box is that brandon? I’ve been looking for ways around buying nuobell’s stand lol
Its the REP fitness one. It's $100 and pretty awesome for what is... in this case a DB stand lol.
I figured haha, which one specifically? I see alot of options on their website, is it the 30, 24, or 20 in your video? 👀 😁
I have had the Nuobells for about 5 months...good dumbells mostly. Only two drawbacks for me. They only go up to 80lbs...which isn't really heavy enough for those compound movements for many people. I can live with that one. The BIGGEST issue is the durability. I accidentally dropped one of them....DONE. Long story short, after the drop, the weight selector was out of alignment so I couldn't select any weight that was a multiple of 10. That sucked. BUT...I contacted the company that I got them from...they sent me a replacement handle for free and only made me pay for shipping. Good as new now. DO NOT DROP THEM. Best looking dumbbells IMO...especially in black. Oh yea....damages caused by dropping them is NOT covered under warranty.
Appreciate that first hand feedback.
My only gripe with the nuobell is that they only adjust at 5lb increments. Compared to the powerblocks which can do 2.5lb. powerblocks are far from perfect though, too.
TBH I've never found a time where I wanted to go up 2.5lbs.
Haha, Coop has small hands and can’t handle the girth
You said it!
@@BasementBrandon Haha shots fired!! I was rolling when I heard that :)
Brandon good at handling girth 😉😂
Coop can handle my girth.
I have these and love them! They seem very solid, but I try not to too rough with them. I have some dirty old screw-on 100s for when I want to get crazy 🤣
Yeah if you treat these well they’ll treat you well!
Any chance you can get their calibrated plates? $185 for a pair of 45s seems like a decent deal.
Nuobell? I didn't know they made them lol
@@BasementBrandon sorry. Their authorized seller does. $185/pair for 45s and seem to be in stock.
urbnfyt.com/products/urbnfyt-calibrated-lb-steel-plates
How does it do 5lb increments? Each plate looks like 5lbs each, so is the load lopsided half the time?
the very first plates (inside) are different and are used for the 5lbs
@@BasementBrandon Oh got it. Thanks!
I own the Bowflex dumbell (both sizes). If I was to rebuy them again I would get the power block elite. The reason would be for best quality for a quick adjustable dumbell. I'm not satisfied with the Bowflex quality because I had a plastic piece break in the base. The one time I didn't place it down strait and a small plastic piece the goes from the base to the dumbell broke. That small piece has to go inside the dumbell for it to adjust.
The Powerblocks are not a “quick adjustable dumbbell”.
Makes sense.
yeah. anybody who needs >90, with the 125 power blocks being 2x cost of anything else, the 120 ironmasters are the only option. been using them for a month now. love them.
They are great!
@@BasementBrandon their lifetime warranty is what sealed the deal for me
I want to turn my formal living room into a gym w a rogue monster light 390f rack, but it has hard wood floors.. Ideas advice how to protect it?
Buy a large enough horse stall mat 1/2 inch thick should be more than enough for most uses.
Horse stall mats
If you're not planning on dropping weights you can get away with a ton of options
@@BasementBrandon I've heard the horse stall mats shouldn't go directly against the wood floor bc it can trap moisture or cause discoloration but I don't kno what to use... I would only drop deadlift but I will use drop pads for that... I'm color blind too sux lol

100%
I really want to pull the trigger on these but I can't find anything in regards to a possible expansion kit. Does anyone know if Nuobell has discussed the possibility?
They have not.
@@BasementBrandon I figured. Looking at it mechanically it seems highly unlikely they could do an expansion on these unless they got beefier handles. I really hate the powerblock 125 they make my hand feel claustrophobic.
@@BasementBrandon Bit the bullet and got them after watching your review and a few others pretty solid db's still waiting on those plate mates though.
@@gagehassan8885 How are these going for you?
@@JBS7551 I like them alot. I use them for accessory work quite a bit. The only drawback and discontent I have towards them is it looks like there won't be any expansion kits for these, luckily I have a pair of the baadass handles and a ton of pancake 10# standard plates for when I have to go over 80. I was thinking of doing some DIY magnet plates but I don't really trust the plastic in these. I'm most likely going to sell these when the pepin fast dumbells come out with the same concept and they go all the way up to 120 lbs with 2.5 lb increments I think. I'd still give these a solid 4/5 though especially for a version 1. They definitely get the job done.
Were these on sale during Black Friday?
I believe slightly.
how log before they are available?
They were at the time of the video, not sure about now though.
Might have been better to compare them to classic adjustable dumbells with collars, like Rogue adjustable dumbells, which is more reasonable price wise than a dumbbell rack for most people.
I think all in ones like this are in a different league TBH.
Shake weight review next please
I think I got rid of it :(
2 things,
I like how you get multi use out of the rack. I can't wait to move a bike into on at the gym. I'll tell them Brandon does it sooooo, check the youtubes homie.
And it's 2021, I wish we were all color blind in a slightly different way!
True that!
The asterisk of *never* drop these dumbbells gives me the most pause. I've never been a weight dropper, but sometimes you just let go when its already hanging a foot from the ground after doing a bent over row or shoulder press
Yeah def a trade off here.
I've got these on the way. Kinda wish they made smaller weigh increments, 5LB increments is too much imo
I think it's pretty standard at this point!
Coop: Shots fired!
pew pew pew
What does shipping cost after the initial 750 cost of the dumbbell?
Varies!
@@BasementBrandon Thanks for the reply Brandon. For example... what was the extra charge that you paid for shipping?
@@brainchilddesigner I didn't on these as they were sent to me for review.
@@BasementBrandon Understood. Thank you Brandon
Love it! Need these in my life!
I think these can def be a good option if you're willing to pay.
Do you know the width of the handle? Not the circumference
I don't know offhand, but they're shorter than my fixed dbs.
How do these compare with the snode dumbells?
From what I recall the snodes have weird weight jumps.
@@BasementBrandon yes I saw that, but you can over come that with more reps or slower reps. I like that they are all cast iron, no plastic even the base holder.
I hope you sent Coop some aloe after that video, but in a small tube so he can use it...
Ha just jokes :)
So do they spin while using? I don’t want shit crashing on my face
correct.
Thanks Brandon
Yessir!
As you said, my top concerns:
1. Durability
2. Capped at 80lbs
Love the way they work and ease of changing weight, but I hate plastic parts.
Yeah I think for a serious lifter those are super valid concerns. For someone who doesn't own a gym and just want's some "fitness" dbs, these are prob the best available.
I mean weights are meant to be dropped... do you have any concern about them being dropped 2 feet from the ground on horse Stall mats say like when you’re doing flat bench work?
Yep
@@BasementBrandon appreciate the honesty!
I love this dumbbells!
Right on!
From where you bought them ?
linked in description
kind of wish i went with these over powerblocks. Not really a fan of the blocky feeling of them. Also not a fan of when i need to change weights in 5lbs increments.
I think with all adjustables there are trade offs, just depends which ones are most important to you.
