What are your thoughts on loadable dumbbells?
@meanpie13 2 жыл бұрын
Every reviewer of loadable dumbbells always says, "you already have the plates, so you might as well just get handles to save money". But who has that many pairs of smaller plates already laying around?
@GlucksGym 2 жыл бұрын
It's an assumption that if you do it's cheaper. If not well you might end up aquiring most of them anyway.

First thing I bought was dummy handles and 20 x 5kg plates. Versatility is great but yes, a lot of time is wasted loading and unloading. You need legit collars as well.

I wish I had spent more and bought from Rogue. I have a set of 5-100lb fixed dumbbells as well, but I ultimately chose to cheap out and get a loadable pair vs heavier fixed when I began to out lift the 100s...It has since proven a far inferior option😅

On my list of next purchases will be the titan Olympic DBs because of the cost and frequency of use... If I'd use them more often I would go with Fringe and would opt of buying rogue unless bought used for the same cost as fringe... I personally like my powerblock DBs and would still use them most often but there are occasions where I'd really like to go heavy for one arm rows and flat bench... My powerblocks are maxed out at 125 now so this is the cheapest method I can exceed that... they do have a 175 lb set but that's not practical at the cost, the footprint (way bigger then most powerblocks), denomination selection(7.5 or 15 pound jumps not 5 or 10) so they aren't desirable... Also like the idea of iron master but don't like how long they take to load

You missed Kabuki Kroc loadable dumbbells. I kind of dislike adjustable dumbbells from Pepin/Ironmaster/baadass as the coating looks cheap compared to the cost, and paint will chip easily. I wish they can use rubber coated plates. I don't have enough room for dumbbell sets, so loadable dumbbells seem the only option. They're perfect for Kroc Row but not for dumbbell bench. Putting them standing on the thigh before the set is a pain.

I didn't miss them they're just at another level when your consider the price. This video is more of a, these items apply to the majority of people and those Kabuki are overkill for most even if they are very well made.

Had some titan ones, sold them. Awkward to use. Had 90 lb powerblocks, sold them. Ok but akward. Better then loadable. Had bowflex selectech, ug terrible junk. Worst things ever. Just started buying fixed ones used have up to 85lbs still looking to complete but just prefer them.

I had loadable dumbbells for 5 minutes when I discovered that you can prevent them from digging into your legs by simply not being an idiot. Rest them on your legs horizontally, not vertically. 🤓

Think Rogue went crazy with the prices of the dumbbell, than saw the price of the bumpers and that turned me off. Not much of a separation in innovation to spend that much.

Their dumbbell isn't cheap but there's more than 1 company with ones that make Rogue's look much less expensive.

It’s funny, those fixed rubber dumbbells you have don’t swivel or anything with bearings yet Companies like rogue decided lets put bearings and all this fancy crap on ours to get people to pay a lot of money when most people are happy with fixed free weights like hex rubber weights that don’t move.

Olympic dumbbells will never make sense to me. Standards are way better. Olympics are way too long to be useful IMHO. Powerblocks are less awkward than that.

I have Powerblocks 90 myself, but the best cheap loadable dumbbell handles would be the DIY method from DIY Fitness Club. I would have considered replicating it but I simply didn’t standard plates. The biggest concern with traditional loadable handles (as seen in this vid) is finding strong clamps. If money is no object, the Gungnir handles with built in collars solves that issue. A cheaper Gungnir version (but sold out, only available in Australia) are the olympic handles with spin locks through gymdirect.
@GlucksGym 2 жыл бұрын
Funny you mention the clamps because in the video I'm using some of my cheapest worst ones but they hold up fine though I would recommend better than that. The Gungnirs, woooo that's a price but a cool idea.
