I love that Coop and the team review adjustable dumbbells so much. In a home gym, these are super convenient. You don't have to have dozens of dumbbells or add plates, secure plates, use dumbbells, remove plates, re-rack plates, fetch other plates, and secure again. You just rack and twist.
Seems like the TRULAP is the obvious choice. 🤷♂️ heavier weight, increments, durability, handle size, price. I mean, it checks all the boxes for me.
Just horrible customer service
I ordered 5 weeks ago. Just delivered from Canada. Been in customs for 5 days.
Was it actually delivered? Mine has “been in customs” for two weeks.
@@awabnik I asked for a refund because tracking shows it wasn’t shipped. They replied with “it’s in customs”. Still no product. But they have my $1,000!!!
Imma just wait for the rep heavy adjustables
They just came out. I want them so badly!
Looking forward to the REP Heavy Adjustables coming out later this week!
Me too. Been holding out for them.
How do you know that they're coming out this week? I'm super pumped to see what they're all about.
@joecowan3719 how do you know they’re coming out? Price? Weight? Increments?
@@matthollub4977 I signed up for their emails and they mentioned that over the weekend.
@@matthollub4977 I am on their email distribution list.
Have the Trulap Gen 2. They are great and look sleek. Waiting for the stand to be restocked to buy that as well.
You going to review any Grifin equipment?
I have the Nuobells and they are amazing. I have had them for a couple of years with no issues. I do like that they have replacement parts now. Just found out about that here (thanks Coop!). The only thing I would change is to go up to 100 pounds or more, but 80 is fine for most accessories. If you want smaller increments, you could always throw on some platemates. I do recommend getting the stand with them. It's a quality piece and really makes them easier to use.
Ive had mine going on 3 years now. 2 minor gripes. 1- i wish it went to 100. And 2 , the center part has a oil that stains my shorts when i rest on my legs. Other than those 2 things they have been fantastic and very durable
I love my trulap dumbbells. I mentioned this in another video but if you get the 1.25 magnetic add-ons you can basically go up in 1 1/2 pound increments on the trulaps. That’s hard to beat. And the knurl is pretty aggressive, I would equate it to the Gungnir of Norway adjustable dumbbells, just thicker shaft.
I own Trulap Gen 2 and love these shiny beasts !! The handle is excellent thickness with fantastic knurking. The steel plates are sleek and fantastic, and when you slide the dumbell out it feels and sounds like a sword being unsheethed
How long did it take them to get delivered to you?
Also curious about the tolerances. They look like there is a bit too much give in them for my liking.
@@greyaye8565they have a good amount of play but the gen 2 doesn't move alot but I'd get the rep x Pepin quick draw
@@JimmyHuynhdesigntook me almost 5 months to get them and haven't gotten the stand I ordered at the same time yet
Will you be able to test the new and heavier REP dumbbells when they are revealed this week or do you have to wait and order it like everyone else?
I think the Trulaps are pretty intriguing. I'd like to get my hands on a pair *pause* and try them out.
Learned how to do a better fly today. Feels better, and I don't feel i will get an injury like i did with my old methods. Thanks Jay!
I have the Trulap Gen 2’s and am really happy with them. I will admit I didn’t quite expect them to be as large as they are, but they have a nice feel.
I got Nuobells a month ago because of Coop and I love them. Super happy with them
I'd love to see a video on upgrades. What gear should people upgrade first, how to know, what to look for, etc.
Everything coop doesnt like about the trulaps i LOVE thank you for this video my man!
I just got my trulaps, took a month and a half after ordering to get them from Canada to Florida. For a couple weeks they were out of stock, but the rest was UPS delays, customs declarations, etc. and to top it off they misplaced one of the 6 boxes and it took an extra week after the other 5 arrived. Other than shipping issues, they look and feel great, I dont mind the relatively thick handles, and the overall length is longer than nuobells but not if you stop at 80lbs like the nuobells. I don't think these are going to break or fail anytime soon either.
I had some shipping delays too, not as bad as you. Took a month to get mine. Customs seems to be the big hurdle.
got mine Monday 4/1.... ordered 2/7!
Had the same issue with customs. They tell me the same won’t happen when the stand is available and ready to ship, but that remains to be seen
Ordered mine beginning of March and have been getting the run around from customer service that seems to be the norm for customers. Looking around on social media and reddit it seems this company has a habit of placing orders in a "label printed" status on ups for months to hold the customer at bay while they are not actually fulfilling the order....
I placed my order Feb 15th and still just stuck at the label created stage. It’s a few days short of 2 months. If you’re thinking about getting them, just dont…
Great review, thanks for posting it.
Kinda wish you would check to see if the Jayflex bar works with the Trulap? I'm guessing it does not fit.
should fit... Jayflex can accomodate up to ~38mm
I love the fragility of the Nuobell and cradle. I get strength by having to gently control the weight. Makes me feel strong af hitting the 80s but then gently putting them back. Hundreds of workouts in and they still work/look like new. Also, the dual leg stand is badass. Hella sturdy. Makes the cradle alot better.
I have had the Gen 2 Trulaps for a couple weeks. The shipping to get them was very frustrating, but they arrived well packed in 6 different boxes so there was no damage due to overweight boxes. Assembly was very easy, disappointed that the stand for the Gen 2’s won’t be out for another 2 months so I have to deal with them on the ground for now.
Getting to the actual product I would say that there are a GameChanger for me. My current home gym had a lot of voids in my dumbells where the increment jumps were just too large to be able to go to the next size per exercise. With these dumbbells having the ability to go up 2 to 3 pounds it works out very well. When doing rear shoulder exercises and you don’t want to make larger jumps for a smaller muscle group. It allows you to do so. I love the larger grip. I don’t notice the weights rattling much as long as your motion is controlled. if you look online for discount codes, you can even get the trulaps cheaper then what is on this video. The stainless steel look is awesome. Thank you for putting out videos like this as a previous review you did on these adjustable dumbbells really helped me make my decision.
Hi Coop can you please do a review on cable cross or single cable machines that are available in the UK.
Thanks 👍✌️
I bought the Nuobells in 2020 when I could not get to any gyms, and they are awesome. Not a perfect replacement for a huge selection of dumbbells, but they are all I need. I am extremely happy with them.
Do the Nuobells have different levels of knurling available?
I had one handle (knurl and gearing) replaced after the plastic gearing case broke. Unfortunately I only took the broken handle in, so it took a few days for me to notice that the knurling on the replacement was much less aggressive.
Picking them up and instantly feeling different levels of knurl drives me nuts.
*EDIT*: the part that broke in my case was the plastic gear housing. It was dropped from shin height, on an angle, onto a thick rug over a wooden floor with cork underlay. IIRC it had 6 or 8Kg on it at the time.
What timing Coop! Currently shopping for an adjustable and these are the exact two I keep going back and forth about. And like others waiting to see what the new heavy Rep dbs looks like
When are you going to review the Griffin Talon cable system?
the trulap would be my choice, also love the cap man!
Lived in the Philippines...what do you think the best to be delivered overseas with minimum tear? Thanks Coop
For some reason I just like the fact that power blocks are power blocks and I like how they work and how awkward they are they make my homework out interesting
I love the powerblocks for planked dumbbell rows. Flat surface feels strong. Only issue is that one of the fork ends broke so I need to get a replacement
When are you going to get a set of the new REP heavy dumbbells to review? They look nice but not sure if price is worth it.
Ready for the CoopSquat rebuild that incorporates the bulletproof isolator
I live in Europe. I already had Nuobell, Ironmaster and trulap 1gen (different name in Europe). I sold Nuobell first, bought Ironmaster and then Trulap. I sold the Ironmaster and now only have trulap dumbbells. Currently, these are the best adjustable dumbbells. I've had these dumbbells for over a year and they look like new
Can you review Nüobell vs. Fäkeobell? Over here in yurp they sell fake-nuobells, but after 2 years they still are fine for me (for half the price).
Who did you buy them from? I'd like to pick up a pair. - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews they're called SilverBack adjustable dumbbells on the uk (or other yuropean) version of amazon
Find SilverBack adjustable dumbbells on the uk version of amuzon
Just saw Nuobell Dumbbells are horrible and wear down the handle rubbing off the plastic after a year or so. Seems like a lot of money to throw away after a year. Any thoughts Coop?
Man, I’m sticking with my power blocks. Old school tried and true and always reliable. That being said, damn do I wish they had some sort of an update with a knurled handle etc.
I believe there are aftermarket handles you can buy... do a search
I wanted the heavier one and preferred smaller increments, so I ultimately went with Trulap.
I will say, though, that if they're not in stock when you order, be ready to wait up to two months to receive them. Hopefully Trulap works on their communication and getting a better sense of their distributors as they mature as a company.
I ordered January 31. At the time, the website said they expected to ship early to mid February. By the end of February, they updated their website to say they expected to ship early to mid March. I received no communication anywhere along the way; I was just checking the website. They finally shipped March 26 and arrived April 1.
I still would have ordered them had I known I wouldn't get them for 2 months, but the lack of communication and their website just pushing the date out was a pain point.
Order Feb 7, received April 1... after I threatened to cancel my order, they miraculously received a new shipmnet that very day.
got the trulaps, love 'em! stand is great as well
does anyone know what changes they made to the stand thats coming with the Gen 2 version?
@@dstanley1977i can't say for sure, i don't know what the earlier one was like. but i have gen 2 and the stand it came with is well made, very stable, at a nice height, angled well so you can get in there easily. only complaint, and it's not specific to the stand, is that if you bump into the cradle on your way to setting down heavy weights, it might knock the plates around a bit and you need to reset them to place the weight back in
I got the upgraded matte black nuobells and man they’re niceeeeee
Had nuobell and gen 2 trulap. Sold nuobell as gen 2 trulap felt much better and more variety
I have both and they both broke and got quick replacement parts. Nublel is usually my go to set
Trulap ship with kilogram increment versions, and they ship worldwide...which is a huge deal for me in Cape Town. However, I'm mildly concerned about the tolerances. Maybe I'll wait until a Gen 3, because the Nuobell just doesn't go heavy enough.
When are you going to look at the ARES 2.0!?!?
Are the Trulaps any different to the Stealth Adjustable dumbells? on a page called assasingoods.. but they look identical but with a different name. thanks
perhaps they are no different. in Europe they also have a different name. I've had these dumbbells for almost a year and a half and they still look like new
They’re the same. They’re based local to me and Assassin Goods are the distributer here in the UK.
They let me try some before buying and they’re great. Stand is worth getting too.
@@rdzrepresent You feel the 6 months warranty is fine? and that the dumbells are sturdy enough to not need to spend £80 for a 5 year warranty aslong you not like dropping them etc
@@j0hnie12321 I think these dumbbells are really ok. I already had Nuobell and Ironmaster. I sold. I bought these from trulap. They didn't sell me an additional warranty. I wouldn't buy an additional warranty
Snagged snodes and haven’t looked back. It’s been years and nuo still won’t fix the plastic internals…
10lb increments is just crazy tho, if they had 5lb increments I would’ve probably gotten them
Trulap would add weight increase up to +120 in the future as their plan moving forward when i asked them about it.
Ironmaster's were the choice for me just because of how durable and long lasting they are.
So ready for the 2024 CoopSquat rebuild and maybe even a budget vs Creme del La gym version
@garagegymreviews this you?
I bought the trulaps, haven't gotten them yet been a month or two they said there restock shipment got delayed
Got them finally, missing the stand I purchased, they seem ok but seem like cheap metal and Chinese feeling everything including a manual that says the weight label is a "digital display" it's not
I own the Trulaps, and I will say just be careful on the higher weight increments. Because of the slack/slope in the plates (which gets worse the more weight and plates you have on the dumbbell) at 92 I've had the end plate fall off the dumbbell with some shaking.
Coop please warn your audience Trulap takes forever to ship. I placed my order Feb 15th, it’s April 11th now and they still have not arrived yet. UPS status says label has been made for the past two weeks. I don’t see any sign of movement and they’ve already charged my card since February. I bought them on their website.
Are Trulap and Assassin Goods adjustable dumbbells the same? The look exactly alike / same weight, etc, but are they actually the same. AG also sells replacement parts.
They are, I have the Assassin Goods ones, they are rebranded in different countries as JSM, Carbyne,… but they’re the same product. I’ve had mine for 2 months now, absolutely love the 1,5kg increments.
@@NilsValkenborgh Thank you so much for the info on the other sellers.
If you know any other sellers, could you kindly poste them here so I can check for the best location to buy from?
Your reply made my day! :)
PSA: Make sure to check wether you'll receive 1 or 2 dumbells. I see JSM sells them per piece.
@@a.e.3323 I originally wanted to order them from Trulap but the shipping to Europe was through the roof, so I looked up the same dumbbells via google images.
As far as I was able to deduce, Assassin Goods (UK), JSM (Poland), Carbyne (Singapore), Alibaba (China, but minimum order is 32 pieces) are all the same.
AG seemed like the best option for me logistically, 3 years extended warranty and spare parts.
Coop love you, love the show, you guys do such a great job really but these adjustable dumbell reviews are Killin me lol. But I get it, they're a home gym commodity. Keep up the good work.
Nuobell: plastic parts; Trulap: handles are too thick; Snode: 10lb increment. I skipped all three and bought the Nordictrack 55lb for less than 1/2 price on Amazon spring sale.
Rep just announced the pepin collab and its waaay more affordable no one is messing with that
I love Powerblock. The only downside to me is the fact i can't use straps on them. It's the only reason i consider changing them for ironmaster
I would say Trulap - Nuobell has minor advantages but Trulap is more durable and has a higher weight - those are the most distinctive differences. As well, Trulap has consistent 1.5kg weight increments - this is actually an upgrade - just because the increments are not 5 or 2.5 pound increments doesn't make it worse to me.
are the trulap actually 92lbs? as the nuobell is actually 72lbs even though it says 80.
I confirmed on 2 scales, they are 92lbs and a couple. They are within 0.1 lbs of each other.
@@dstanley1977 awesome thanks ! I have the nuobells and love them but wouldn't mind more weight 72lbs limits a few exercises
Coop, you need to do a reaction video to the new REP x PEPINs ASAP!
I'm now just waiting for the side by side comparison to the original.
If I didn’t have the IronMasters I would get the snoods, but I’m plugged into the IM echosystem at this point.
Personally, I’ve never found the cage design of the Powerblock to be annoying. Yes, it creates limitations if you want to do a goblet squat or waiter curls, for example, but other than these limited circumstances, I’ve yet to see a reason to get rid of my Powerblocks.
Are we doing this again?????
Thank you for performing this review. I like that you tell me what you like and dislike about what you are reviewing. Recently watched a review on bands performed by the 3 ladies which they listed their top picks, but they did not list what they winners were compared to, and the criteria for the choices was pretty much non-existant. It was just bad quality and a blemish on the site.
I am looking forward to you reviewing the upcoming Rep heavy selectable and comparing those to the gold standard Nuobells.
Please continue to do drop tests on all selectable dB as durability is important imo.
Do Trulap guys ship international? I live in India.
Arey Yaar, Amrika ko aajao or buy karo
@@avinashtyagi2 par baari padega na? To take it back with me
I like my rusty old Ivankos. Nothing feels as good as a real Pro style dumbbell with a black End-cap 😄
Get the snode if you look for durability...
Probably gotta be the Reppins 125s
Coop totally missed the boat on the timing here with the new Rep/Pepin collab. Sorry Coop! Great comparison though.
I would love of Trulap would make a set that goes up to 100 lbs in 5 lb increments. Maybe just up the plate diameter by 5% to make them that way for cheaper tooling or casting. All the other parts can stay the same size aside from the cradle maybe but that would also be a cheaper tooling update. I would happily pay $100 more for a pair if they could make these changes.
I am looking at making a magnetic end cap that uses the unused alignment pin holes to get mine to 100 each.
Before I watch, can someone let me know if Coop will be the first reviewer of cradle dumbbells in history to talk about how easy/difficult it is to get them in the cradle at max or near max weight?
Nope, but that is a good point.
at max weight I have no issues getting them in... out is a pain somtimes because the cradle sticks to them... cant wait for the new stand to mount the cradles in.
Can you address the fact that it seems like Nuobell appears to be dropshipping Aliexpress products and adding their name to it? You can find their exact same products, same colors and everything 😅
Would be great if Nuobell created an extended cradle to up the weight. 80lbs isn't enough for me for most of the compound exercises.
the internals would have to change quite abit too... not as easy to just have a larger cradle and more plates.
I feel like GGR gets a lot more kickback from Nuobells. Coop recommends them all the time and the knurling is passive on them not to mention how frail they are.
I have the Nuobells and the IronMasters for a reason. Nuobells are quick to adjust but I treat them with care knowing how much plastic is in there. The IronMasters are my absolute go to for heavy because they aren’t so frail.
If I had to do it again I think I’d go Rep now that they are on the scene.
Pretty much anything that functions as claimed and doesn't break while he's reviewing it gets recommended. Coop's good for first impression type of information. He needs to be mostly positive to keep getting this stuff sent to him. His livelihood depends on that, I get it, I don't blame him for it, it's just something to be aware of.
Would like to see adjustables that are only 50 to 100. Betcha the design would be way better to work w and expectations of workin w larger dumbell would match up for what you are working out.
Screw 5 to 45 pounds being there. Such a waste of money for the whole range
That's a good idea. One of the adjustable dumbbell companies could offer a set that goes from 5-50 and a different set that goes 50-100. Sure ppl would end up with 4 dumbbells but would have a wider range available in a smaller profile dumbbell.
Good'ol Iron Masters, they've never failed me (I don't own Iron Masters, too poor)
how many videos can you do on adjustable dumbbells?
as many as needed
@@thebodybeatdownDiTi naw, over rated at this point. Should rename the channel to Adjustable Dumbbell reviews.
Iron masters don't have any plastic or fidgety internals that can break and render them useless. The biggest factor for me is that one is basically disposable and the other will last a lifetime.
And they can expand up to 165lbs.
⬆️ This.
Love Ironmasters. You're right in that they're incredibly durable. - Coop
The main downside to the Ironmasters is the time it takes to change weights and that's important when you have limited time to train or do a lot of dropsets.
@Jeremy-mc8ee I could understand this argument if one is solely using the dumbells for supersets but if one is doing straight sets, there's a rest period between each set if the weights need to be changed.🤷🏻♂️
Kilos are easier to count than pounds, though! :)
2:37 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Powerblock pissed off Coup lol
I find those mandatory cradle adj. dumbbells to be annoying bcause you HAVE to use the cradle everytime to adjust the plates lol.
It feels like you have done this video multiple times. How about one talking about the new ares 2.0?
It's all about the REPINs!!
Don't get either of these. Pepin and Rep are coming out with their collaboration on Pepin's Fast Series adjustable dumbbell. Pre-sale starts tomorrow.
But I already bought Nuobells (4 years ago) 😭😭
@riffdex lol, me too. 2 years ago. They get the job done, but the knurling isn't the best and I'm not 100% confident in their quality. If these turn out to be good, then I'm upgrading. 🙏🏼
all three options are hundreds more expensive and orders now, will be filled in AUGUST.
Nuobell’s are still faster to adjust, if that matters for u
Yeh they are sold out until October 2024
Coop you look like forest gump at the beginning of his cross-country trek.
I have this exact photo above my mirror that I dress in front of every morning to make sure I don't wander too far. - Coop
While it may be no big deal to others, I think it’s a negative that you can’t adjust either of these without setting them back in the cradle. If you want to take them outside or somewhere else and adjust the weight, you have to bring the whole cradle, which makes them less portable than Powerblocks, Ironmasters, plate loaded dumbbell handles, etc.
Exactly. Having to use a craddle (which uses important space) is not much of an improvement compared to changing weight plates.
wish adjustable dumbbells would be cheap like im a student and i cant spend 1000$ on dumbbells
Rep quick draws best option. I bought the nuobells 80s not worth it. To sensitive for a gym setting
Buy olympic dumbbell handles and olympic weight plates (I recommend 25s, 10s, and 5s). For about 250 to 300 bucks, you can have all you'll need in terms of dumbbells.
Find used ones on marketplace
@@AM-dd6gk You don't even need Olympic. Just buy the cheapo standard spin lock sets. I used those for many years. Standard plates are pretty easy to find used for cheap. If you can't afford that, just use body weight exercises. They can take you pretty far. Or the OP can keep making excuses, but should probably keep in mind that a degree probably won't fix anything in that case.
My first adjustable dumbbells were a pair of old powerblocks I found on Craigslist. Just keep watching and you can find some deals. - Coop
Rep announcing new dumbbells this week
ship in August. Cost way more.
@@dstanley1977 And go heavier, 125LBS, and are droppable
@@dstanley1977 Maybe for those who are weak and have really thick padded floors, they can be happy with Nuobells and Trulaps
hasnt this video already been done? like 3 times already?
Im starting to think Nuobell pays them to make videos constantly
01:51 is what I'm telling my wife all the time...
@1:56 and this is her response 😂
I’ll take the Powerblocks over both of these , every day of the week . 100%
Coop finally experiencing what the rest of the world suffers with when buying US fitness equipment. Being based in kg is a feature for the majority of the world.
Trulaps are now $799!
I picked up a pair of 120lb pro dumbbells. I just remove plates and add aluminum spacers to lower weights. Heavy pro dumbbells are easily the best adjustable dumbbells, if you can operate an allen key.
Why are you only reviewing racks and benches from REP and Rogue? There's a lot of newer compnies making some kickass gear.
They pay him more lol
NAH.... I'll stick to my powerblock 😊
Do you know what they say? More plates more dates.
The reviews on the Trulap site look very... suspicious. The one star reviews have had their text erased...
Yes weight incremente would be annoying
I kinda get why this annoys people... but at the end of the day, its just a number. Heck, half the time the number we think we are using isn't accurate anyway! haha
PEPPIN X REP!!!
The REPINs 120 look sick. I have the fast series and they are great
Just letting you know that the weight increments for kg are also weird lol
yep, but they did around on 5lbs increments... ie -25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85.... I think that was to placate people who didnt like the increments, haha
Funny - 4 KG rounds closer to 9 lbs than 8.5, so why not just call it a 9lb base? All the 1.5 KG increments are rounded to nearest full pound.
Prices have changed. They’re both more expensive
I bought mine for 680 shipped. The TRD code I used when they were on sale for 730 still works too... so that 799 is really 744...
I pick, neither.
