Isn't it crazy? Unreal. I bet we'll be lucky if things settle down by the end of 2021. I am too much of a cheapskate to buy this stuff it it isn't on sale.
Tyler your right I have a complete garage gym all from OfferUp and Craigslist saved allot of money probably paid $2500 for everything and it’s probably worth $10,000
@@moneysoles5185 wait for all the covid stuff to die down. Used equipment is at a ridiculous premium right now. This time next year people will return to gyms and sell the equipment they panic bought. There will be more equipment than ever
I just scored 1,200 lbs in plates and dumbbells for $200. Old guy just wanted his shed/garage cleaned out. With plate racks and dumbbell racks. With 2 7ft Olympic bars... started to stop and get a lotto ticket.😂
Nice video, I like cast iron dumbbells more than rubber or urethane dumbbells because they are less expensive and it feels more manlier to me to lift with them. I buy them used because they retain their value ( sort of like gold). I can find pairs for 50 or 60 cents a pound. I wouldn't recommend spending more than 70 cents though.
I bought the rubber coated ones because I live in an apartment, and I don't want to damage the floor or be to noisy. Plus I think the chrome handle and black rubber heads look more cooler than plain Jane dull gray. And I bought mine on ebay,used, relatively cheap....
Thanks! You're too kind. I am afraid I ramble a bit too much on a lot of these things. But I am a teacher in my real-life. So, I'm on my feet talking to people all day for a living. Thanks so much for the kind words!!!!
The rubber hex dumbells are the way to go for home use over the ones without, but I still went for the non rubber coated dumbells not because they were cheaper but because after a few years the rubber starts to crack and split leaving you with very grubby looking dumbbells, obviously commercial grade for the home would last a lot longer however the price would be far more expensive for a complete set.
No, my horse stall matts offgas like crazy. I think my bumper plates smell, too. But the rubber coated dumbbells don't have an odor that I can tell. Even the cheap ones don't. I gave away all my old cast iron dumbbells. If the world ever returns to normal, buying the rubber coated ones from Wally World isn't really more expensive than buying cast iron at retail.
That's a great collection sir. Well made. 80 rubber db are lbs or kg? If kg hole moly! They might have cost a lot. I'm in eurooe and we use kg. Always get confused with db in lbs. 😂🤷🏻♂️😏
Right. If I were buying one more, I'd buy that. The Titan was really disappointing in quality. That Marcy is basically what I have with a different brand. Review is here: ua-cam.com/video/MZ_feCvGEtI/v-deo.html I am KINDA considering a rogue thing for dumbbell storage, but it's hyper expensive. (Like $600 or 700 for what I want). But if I didn't get the Rogue, I'd get the Marcy.
John Dowd I’ve been watching videos on which dumbbell is better, rubber or cast iron and the end result from watching multiple videos was that cast iron is the better choice so I’m going to start a collection using cast iron dumbbells.
I actually bought my cap dumbells used on ebay, relatively cheap. And the beauty part ,no funky smell from the rubber like when they're new. Ebay......
The smell possibility, out gasing, makes me want to buy them in person to check...some are really bad! If buying online read a lot of reviews I guess...
My heaviest DB's are 45lbs. My wife asked me , "what exercise I use them for?". I said, the collecting dust press!💪😁
Hahahaha!
these are like owning gold bars in 2020....

I've been buying all my steel hex dumbbells on Craigslist. I've been making out like a bandit. You just have to be patient and wait for a deal
absolutely the most cost-effective way to build a collection.
@@JS-lr8nj thrift stores are the best deal, if you frequent them enough

Q: What's the best solution to not damaging your dumbbells?
A: Dont drop your dumbbells. Control is everything.
Nah. The best way to not damage your dumbbells is not to use them.
If you ever use them, they'll end up looking used.
35s to 60s pairs cap dumbbells from Walmart will set you back around $800 these days 🤯
HAHAHA! OH MY LORD!!!!!!!

Good presentation
Thanks man. Yeah, I rambled on a bit there. Haha!
Love this channel. Wish you were my neighbor.
You’re a natural presenter. May I ask what you do for a living ?

I’m about to get a dumbbell wall and it goes up to 100lb dumbbells and starts from 5lb my pour FED-X guy
My dumbell collection is 75lb-65lb-55lb-45lb-35lb-25lb... you don't need every damn dumbell. Don't waste your money. I bought them all used
Great video. I am debating between the cast iron and the rubber coated. Do the rubber coated dumbells have a strong odor?

On Amazon they have a Marcy 3 tier for $76. I that what you have/would recommend over the Titan DB rack?
Right. If I were buying one more, I'd buy that. The Titan was really disappointing in quality. That Marcy is basically what I have with a different brand.

I started a cast iron dumbbell set..i don't like the plastic ones..you don't know what garbage is underneath.

I like the plate dumbbells with the handles because it's easier for Farmer walks.
Makes sense!
👍👍👍🙂

The rubber dumbbells smells terrible... How do you fix that?
I don't know if there's a way. Mine don't smell that bad. It's the bumper plates that stink.
@@JS-lr8nj Yeah, and will you try to make the bumperplates stink less?
The smell possibility, out gasing, makes me want to buy them in person to check...some are really bad! If buying online read a lot of reviews I guess...
if you need to drop the dumbbells without control means is too heavy
Do iron dumbbells have lead paint on them?
Couldn't tell you. It's possible.
Which feel better in the hand? Ergo grip dumbbells or regular grip?
I like the ergo
More natural your hand isn't flat
Which dumbbell handle grip are good are good which are flat or too stuck
No idea what you're asking for, bud. everything i know about these is in the review.
OHHHH okay. Yeah, they are not flat handles. they're wider in the middle than they are where they joint the weight. Thanks Pimp Roosta!
