Hey Coop ! The 2.5lbs add-on you have was my 1st prototype which has been fined tuned since then. There's no issues with the stainless pop-pin on the 2.5lbs and the 1.25lbs neither. I'm glad you still love the Dumbbell. Stay tuned for what's coming up next !! David.
@@GarageGymReviews I was considering that as well. Pre ordered these at open yesterday and called Rep shortly after about stand. It’ll be the step in style and should be under $200 shipped. They couldn’t say more than that on price when I asked. Will use my Nuo stand for time being. As always I appreciate the work you put in!
I've bought a lot of gym equipment where premium products don't really offer that much more noticeable improvement from more budget-friendly options, but the Pepins are the one thing that is definitely worth the splurge. They're so much better than everything else out there and will last a lifetime. Like Coop, I actually prefer them to fixed dumbbells. The knurling is better and I actually love grabbing the rails for some exercises like overhead tricep extensions. If anyone is on the fence about getting these, just do it. You won't regret it at all.
$200 per 20 pound expansion plate set (for each pair of dumbells, so 40 pounds in total). That means it's actually not any cheaper to buy the full weight all at once. This actually is a huge attraction for beginner/intermediate lifters who are starting lighter and are trying to decide between the highest weight and the lower/lowest weight set to start. I actually love that there's no discount for buying the full weight set compared to the cheaper set plus the additional plates!
It really is on these. 85s would suit pretty much all my needs but if you have to decide upfront or take a huge penalty it makes it hard to pull the trigger. This makes it a no brainer.
@@musicman7297Not everyone has room to store plates fo - ol. Some people travel with their equipment. Some people put value on different things too. If you don't want it... don't buy it
@@rayzerot LOL 😂, you can't stack ten pound plates on top of each other, or 5 pound plates or 25 pound plates .... LOL 😂.... but you can afford a set of dumbbells that cost well over a grand ???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Do you even lift weights??????
I was so close to pulling the trigger last year and had them in my cart, but the shipping cost from Canada alone was the cost of a Nuobell or similar. This is huge.
I pulled the trigger and just ordered them. I’ve been seeing your reviews on adjustable dumbbells and I liked the Pepin, they just cost so to much for me. The reppin is what I can convince my wife to allow me to buy 🤣 also considering you can adjust the weight low for her as well. Thanks for your take
I think these are the best adjustable dumbbells we have ever seen on the market and the fact that rep is going to allow for upgrading by buying add on weights really makes getting these a no brainer if it’s within your price range
@@lawrence09151 strong aluminum is highly durable. Mountain bikes are made out of it and they are under unbelievable forces in legit mountain biking going on jumps and rocks and down mountains.
I am absolutely preordering the 105lbs set. I currently own the PowerBlock pro Elite 90lbs set and I really love them. However, I am going to sell them and pick these up. Love this.
Hey Coop. Your channel, your videos are so great. You’re giving so many of us the gift of health. Better health through better choices. People like you on UA-cam change industries
just curious (my gym doesnt have one) whats the point of a smith machine ive heard people say there "gay" but ive never used one and havent done research so why would you want one over a normal barbell (besides safety maybe...)
@nailatiylluf The ease of adjustment and space. 100s are too small for me, the FAST 125 are good for now but I'll be picking up tue 175s when they're released. These FAST dumbbells are built very well and are like no other adjustable dumbbell I've ever seen.
Coop! Thought of you as soon as I saw these announced. Too bad you helped convert me over to powerblocks long ago. These for sure is what I would go with if I didn’t already have adjustables. Thanks for the content, can’t wait to see the hands on review!
I went with the Poweblock EXP 100's after watching Coop review them a few months ago. Just received them about 2 weeks ago. I'm happy with them. I've never been one to order something new on the market right away. I like to see how they actually perform in use for an extended period. Will the sliding mechanism for weight changes on these jam? I know Coop mentioned in the review that something in his Peppin's is stuck. Just waiting for more people to use them and review them a little more long term. If all looks good I may consider.
Great video! Lots of detail as usual from Coop. I do like the Nickel OG look, I wonder if Rep would offer a premium Rep X Pepin with the Nickel but at a lighter start weight
I honestly have wanted these since Coop did the first review of Pepin back about a year ago. The only hesitation I have is I will want to do alt DB snatches and I feel though its not an easy task to be able to do that with these
@@GarageGymReviews it might not be a ton, but the cage I feel limits a few other movements. I do think my best is the QuickDraw and then get a couple heavier hex heads if I need them
@@masonharris6961 Yeah, I think everybody is a little overexcited about these just because it's been so long since there's been a good quality entry into the market. These still have cages, require using a cradle, are annoying to change in 5 pound increments, and the ends aren't smooth. Like everything else out there, plenty of room for improvement.
@@plmn93 the cages are minimal and won’t affect 98% of uses. You can put one selector at 20lb and one at 30lb to get it to 25lb quickly. Using irregular weight is actually helpful for our body in producing a greater stimulus to stabilizing. Plus 5lb more on one side is almost indistinguishable for many people (see that other guy’s review of these dumbbells or maybe it was the peppins). The ends are pretty flat and will only be resting on thigh momentarily, and increase mental toughness to have a bit of discomfort even if you feel it. Most people don’t mind needing a cradle to change the weight. Just put the cradle right next to your adjustable bench. I think it’s too tempting to think an item needs to be perfect to be great, but a lot of imperfections don’t really matter and can actually bring some benefits.
Bought my Pepins in December. These seem really similar and much less expensive as noted in the video. Kinda wish I had waited, but who knew. Anyway, love the Pepin's. Work well and look awesome!
I've had the money and been waiting to pull the trigger on a set of adjustable dumbbells for years and none of them have had it all at this price point. As soon as I saw the price I smashed buy now. I'm so happy that I waited for these at 125lbs per hand rather than settling for nuobells.
So less than two weeks ago I ordered a set of Pepins which are on an 8-10 week shipping delay. Wondering what the right move is with this. Would love your suggestion Coop.
If you can wait, personally I’d cancel and order the Reppin’s (although this is without having used them. Just specs look so similar, I wouldn’t want to pay double.) - Coop
COOP!, Given the amount of space I have in my workout space, definitely want to be "REP'n the PÉPIN". And the shirt merch that should follow. I'll take my royalties in REP loyalty points.
I love what Rep is doing, but at this point it feels like I'm trying to keep up with the latest iPhone and there's always going to be a newer, better version next year of whatever I get.
Not if you have powerblocks that are completely different design and only go up to 90lbs. Thats a brand new phone (new design) and cpu power (weight capacity) that you’ll actually take advantage of
@@markhalstead2386 do you have the four our six post? I think a six post would solve the “no incline in rack”’issue. I’m fine inclining from front of the 6 post. I think the low row is not the best, but with the gym pin work around I think it’s not nearly the issue some make it out to be.

Been wanting to upgrade my Bowflex 552s for like a year now. Constantly waffling on Snode, Nuobell, Rep Quickdraws, Trulap.... They all have some dealbreaker flaw... too bulky, not heavy enough, weird increments, no 5-lb increments, too fragile... I think these are the clear winner for only like $100 more for the 85 pounders. I don't need the 105s or 125s.... at least not in the near future, so I'm glad they can be upgraded as needed.
Jujifumu, coop you need to get in and review his gym, it is between him, the rocks iron paradise, and that one home gym that you reviewed that was in the basement on a video you watch for the best home gyms, those 3 you need to review in person, please

Literally (witerally) just bought a set of Nuobells. Lol. Oh well, I still love them. If they ever end up in the graveyard, I'll get some REPPINS. Kinda glad I don't have to wait for the pre-order anyway.
Also, any concerns on the durability of the plastic piece on each plate that's holding the plates together? Is it possible for those to chip or break after a heavy drop?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't help wondering why not just replace those with metal too - isn't that sturdier and truly 100% metal?@@markhalstead2386
Yeah, but they are ~3000CAD with shipping to the US. Even with the conversion rate that’s $2200+ USD so there rep version will be delivered in hand ~$900 less.

How’s the balance feel? I know coop touched upon it, but in your personal experience how similar is it to a traditional dumbbell?
@sonofashepherd6668 I think the balance is bang on. Even when you offset 5lbs to one side, just shift your hand a bit and it's not noticeable
The Adonis, Ares 2.0, and now this... they just took my next 5 paychecks. REP is dominating the strength market.

Just preordered a 125-pound pair thanks to this video. If Coop is excited about something, I pay attention. Can’t wait to use them.
Can you make a video on deadlift platforms, I don’t know if I should buy one or make one or which one is good
Best thing about pre order is that your money will be protected from inflation 😆

I'm calling them Reppins!! Thanks Coop! I can't wait until mine arrive. They look soooo good
That’s the power Coop. This will probably be known from now on as The Reppins
