Hey Brandon, I did get a pair of 5lbs Watson dbs with my set. I believe they don't show it on the website because most people dont ask for it or because they cannot do them in revolving handles, but they do offer it if you ask for it. I got the 5-50lbs in 5lb increments and 60-150lbs in 10lbs increments and all of them will have 35mm fixed handle. They are just not able to do a rotating handle with a 5 lb dumbbell. The lightest they could do is a 7.5lbs due to the extra components used.

These look cool! The upkeep on buffing out fingerprints would drive me nuts though. If I ever get a full set of dumbbells, I’d go for a pro-style with the multiple pancake plates. I love that almost mini-barbell type look.
@BasementBrandonАй бұрын
Yeah those classic ivankos! I've hemmed and hawed about "upgrading" my current set to something more custom (with branding). But at the end of the day it would cost me a few thousand dollars and for what? Just to see my logo? Can't commit to that lol.

I live in South East Asia, and my gym is basically only using XMaster machines, dumbbells and barbells (they're the sole importer I believe). Good quality stuff, though some machines don't have perfect ergonomics/adjustments. Knurling on some machines would make Coop orgasm though.

Nope, too expensive People aint buying REP's 5-100 lb. set much less this one unless they buy in increments or they are getting a discount like influencers get, just aint happening because then you have to buy a stand for them so yoyre looking at 8K for REPS to your door and 10K to your door for these chromes. Nobody is doing that because if their rich their going higher end than REP and most rich people dont lift. Colleges, Pro Teams, Hospitals and hat the clientele for these not ordinary people
@BasementBrandonАй бұрын
I think urethane sets like REP are actually quite popular in home gyms. The biggest barrier is obviously cost and floor space, but if you have that, which I think a lot of people who watch KZfaq videos on equipment do, it may still be a good investment.

@@BasementBrandon Most home gym owners are not rich. Most gym owners I see has the basic rubber head dumbbell like Gluck has. Urethanes are for better off people or influencers who got deal on them, I've never seen urethane except for influencers who get given to them or got discount or make money from having them and never seen urethane in home gym in person
