You need a "comfort resting on knees" category

As a farmer, I hold right to repair in very high regard. After watching Average Joe Innovations video I decided on the Snode AD80s. Being able to purchase individual repair parts along with a set of 2.5lb PlateMates made the difference for me going with the Snodes. Now just waiting on them to get in!

that moustache deserves its own Merch. Deserves its own channel. It deserves a lot more recognition than its getting.

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzfaq.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

Great video! I'm JUST starting to research home gym setups. I came in knowing nothing about any of this stuff and left feeling well informed. Thanks for communicating the important info so well!

You are the man Coop! Thanks so much for making these videos. I'm in need of some heavier adjustable dumbbells and have been researching online. Think I've watched around 15 videos already and 80% of them have been reviews by you. Currently using Boflex 552s which I've outgrown, plus they hurt like hell on the thighs when kicking them up or resting them. I think the Nuobells are exactly what I need. The cost is going to hurt a bit but doable. I'll be sure to use your link when I order them. It's only fair since your honest reviews is what sold them to me. Thanks!

You asked for it and you got it! Another adjustable dumbbell review!!!

10lb start weight is fine but 10lb increments is a deal breaker for me. More options is more better haha

I've had my Nuobells for about 2 years now. I don't drop them at all, and the durability has been amazing! No issues whatsoever. I just wish they went up to 100 or 120. That is my only complaint

I have had the Nuo's for over a year without any real issues. The stand is very nice too. Before that, I has the Soloflex 90's. I've never dropped either of them in a couple of decades of combined use, so I'm ok with durability. It's not like they are over a hundred pounds and you would need to drop them after a set. At this weight, they are more for accessory work than compounds anyway. I've never tried the Snodes, but I'm sure they are good too. Kind of like picking a Ferrari or Lamborghini, they both are great at the job, and a lot depends on individual preferences. Actually glad to hear the Nuobell handles are a bit heavier than claimed--I've been lifting more that I thought :) Love the dumbbell reviews! Ok, back to my back workout....

It would make more sense for the Snodes to take advantage of the longer handle and manufacture a C-shaped magnetic plate (that contoured around the inner ring) that could attach to the inside of the dumbbell so you don’t have those bulky things hanging off the end. Have them in 1.25, 2.5, and 5 lb increments and you would have incremental adjustments and the ability to go up to 90 lbs. If you paired that with another 5 or 10 lb magnetic plate that could attach to the end and you could easily get up to 110 lbs per dumbbell.

I’ve had nuobell 80s for four months and love ‘em

Great Review! I’ve had the nuobells for a couple years and love them. I do wish I could drop them after a heavy bench press set though. Anyways, keep up the good work, Coop!

Nuobell just needs a bit more metal construction and it would be the all time king of adjustable dumbbells. Snode needs 5lbs increments and that alone would probably close the gap to Nuobells and consumers buying choice.

I bought the Snode because I’ve seen too many comments/reviews about the plastic plate inserts on the Nuobell breaking. Durability is #1 for me when spending $800+.

I was about to pull the trigger on the Nuobells and then watched your video on the Snodes when it came out. I went with the Sodes for durability. Thats super improtant to me and why I wanted the pepins. My soulution for not having a 5lb weight was to go get a set from fray for $9.

If Nuobell can fix some of the durability issues I've seen comments on, I think it will be a hard product to beat. I'd also love it if they extended the handle slightly to let the Jayflex Hyperbell attachments work with it.

Great Video 🔥🔥👍🏼 thanks to Coop and GGR Team, helped me with my decision

5lb increments is a deal breaker - love that Snode is droppable from 32”. Verdict - Use regular dumbbells 😂

I was just watching your other video and hoping you would release this soon. This video is great! made my decision easier, I was debating for a while. Thanks a lot!

After watching this video and your Pepin 120 Fast video... I ended up going with the Pepins. Those just seem to be the best in the industry right now. Pricey, but they seemed like that were worth the price. That lifetime warranty is clutch as well.

I would absolutely love it if you did a T-Bar row attachment and/or land mine review.

Snode is now showing a 2 year warranty on their site! Just a heads up :)

I love my Nüobells but wish I knew about Snode/Pepin before I bought them. I’m interested to see how long they actually last.

…absolutely excellent review…all the info I could want…really helpful…thanks…btw, ever do a review on vert leg press (plate loaded) machines?…

The plastic on the snodes doesnt affect the durability because there in no tension on those parts, @Averagejoeinnovations broke it down in his channel, coop not everything has to be metal to be durable ,plus snode offers parts replacement 7:46 7:46

Coop you guys like you and Basement Brandon are lucky IMO to get these really expensive dumbbells for free just to make videos on and give your opinions that's pretty awesome because they're not cheap obviously and it would be awesome to have them for sure!

pepins are the undeniable king right now. Price point is nutty though

Thx for your reviews 🎯🤝🏾💯

Going with Snode AD80. I also think the Snode stand is well designed and solid being cast iron. To me, the Nuobell stand seems generic, especially with so many Nuobells-style knockoffs now on the market. I'd suggest reviews include the stands as it was also part of my decision. I have smaller hands so I hope the longer handle of the Snode isn't a negative. In all honesty would've preferred a rubber hex set but space and cost is a factor. Not to mention the amount of total weight a hex set is 5-80lbs pairs. My gym is second floor of a house and total weight is a consideration.

hey coop, huge fan just checked out SNODE, their warranty is 2 years now by default

Got the AD80s for 3 months now and they are incredibly durable. I don't think the 1.1 inches length difference is some kind of problem, just because their handles are longer, which is very suitable for my big hands. The most important thing is, it is a dumbbell but not some fragile things, I really enjoy the knocking sounds between plates when I put them back in the cradle. And I know these are unbreakable!!💪💪

Sweet review, thank you!

“Best Reviewed Dumbbells” Ironmaster : 😲

Would love to see a bracket style elimination video of all the adjustable dumbbells. Put them all against each other with comparisons like this video and see who comes out on top

Damn waiting for this

Honestly I've heard SO MANY PEOPLE break the nuobells, I think the dropping section is much more imporant than the rest of them tbh, especially with heavier weights

Good video. I had to go with the SNODE only because the build quality is definitely better. I tend to drop my dumbbells from time to time and I'm certain those NUOBELLS will break.

I got the Snodes. Mine came with the magnets. Ive seen so many reviews of broken Nuobells but i haven't seen any for Snode. That made my decision for me.

Nuobells I've had for 2 years and I use them everyday. Freaking awesome . Literally worth every penny

Thanks for the comparison, that helps a lot. Will you review the trulap 8592 dumbbells? It seems to be a great contender !

Great review! Thank you. Have you used the dumbbell hangers with either? The hangers are the spotter equipment that let you hang them from a bar when doing DB benchpress.

I wish you'd addressed the reparability, Snode sells parts and can be repaired easily where as when the Nuobell breaks the handle has to be replaced

I was considering the Nuobells, but the durability of the Snodes is what matters to me. I dont want to be overly concerned being delicate with my dumbbells while working out

Righteous stache, man.

Thanks for this comparison. I have the Nuobell 550 and I just got the upgrade kit to make into the 580. The plastic parts was not an issue as I do not drop it purposely anyway. The upgrade kit I got has a damaged plastic part but Nuobell and my Canadian dealer had the replacement part and it was easy to replace. The design indeed is smart. the 5lb increment is indeed important for the average home gym user. I am based in Ontario, Canada for context. I almost bought the Snode AD80 but thanks to your reviews, I decided to just upgrade my Nuo550. More power to your channel.

16:42 Coop and Sam simultaneously sliding back to the Nuobells is smooooth 🤌

Review needed on the jacked up fitness power rack !

The 5lbs increments and quick changeability of the Nuobells is enough to keep me from the wants. My wife uses our home gym so it’s a must to either have adjustable with smaller increments otherwise I would just dedicate the space to a full dumbbell rack . Also I would never trust magnets while pressing over head or face 😂 bad idea

Vs pepin please

Thank you so much man appreciate your expertise out of the two I chose new Bell by a punked out , saved $400 and got the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells I might live to regret it because of the aesthetics and quality of the engineering but again thank you for your time and expertise

should get the weights of the total dumbell to see which is actually closer or over 80lbs

i have the snode AD80'S they are super solid …

I ordered the snode after the 1st vid in them... They better win 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I have knock off Nuos and they are awesome!! Been using them for 7 months or so, not perfect but very good for the price.

Waiting for the NuoSnodeBell

Octabell adjustable dumbbell review!

Nuobells different colors can vary in cost. The negative reviews I’ve seen on Nuobell is them breaking or even breaking while being delivered.

Imagine if they had a love child. Something that had the best of each. I have the Nuobells. I do enjoy them. But, I'm thinking of adding the Pepins eventually.

I ended up ordering the Snodes. My wife, teenage son, and his friends all use my home gym and durability is a big issue. @AverageJoeInnovationsLLC did a breakdown of the Nuobells and it was concerning that they could end up breaking down even just with normal use. I've also seen reports of the handle breaking after accidentally rolling off a bench. That said, I'm disappointed with the "nub" magnets they include with the Snodes since they look like they interfere with setting the dumbbells up on your thighs. I may end up just ordering some PlateMates since those lie flat.

Great video made up my mind Now I need a discount code.

I don't know if I can believe anything Coop says after he commented that he only wants 1 set of dumbbells.

Great video. I am looking at the Nuobells and their knock-offs. I am back into apartment living so dropping dumbbells is not going to b happening. I also like the idea of 5lb increments. I was going to buy some pro-style dumbbells in 10lb increments since I have my platemates, but man, have prices ever shot up. For the price of the handles and the plates, I could get much more with duobell, especially the knock-offs. I would really like to see the knock offs checked out.

I wish the Nuobell or Snode was a bit cheaper than I would get a pair. Hopefully can find a used pair at some point. Excellent review thanks.

@13:57 Nuo Bell does have wobble with the relationship between the weights and the handle. This wobble comes from a little play in adjustment mechanism. The set I had did have this wobble. I have never held the Snode before.

I see the more benefits Nuobell has but to be honest the durability is just too important comparing to 1 more inch in lenght or colour choices or other benefits. If i would buy i would buy Snode.

Could you make a video of the best compact home gym with only essential/highest quality. That has everything that you'll need stomach/back/calves/armes/legs/shoulders/neck etcetera. I'm building my first home gym and I only want the best of the best: buy once! Equipment for life! I have a low square foot to use! I love your clips i'm going to send back the puzzelmats I ordered and get rubber flooring instead!

ANOTHER Adjustable dumbell review!!! If I was being a cynic, I would say Coup does this cause it earn him the most commission. Sad cause there is so much more out there to review!!

It would be cool if Snode made weight clips that easily attach to either side of the handles to add 5lbs. You could then clip them on and off for 5lbs increments.

Asked about snode a year ago in the comment section. Went with baad ass dumbells. Wish you would of done this review alot sooner

Considering that buying fixed dumbbells with storage rack would cost at least 2x, it's actually pretty cheap. I paid almost 1.5k for only up to 50lbs set fixed dumbbells with rack. I would never get PowerBlock's or Nuobell's because there are too many plastic parts, but Snode's look very appealing to me.

Between these two, Snode dominates and it isnt even close. If Snode made a 100+ pound adjustable dumbbell with this same build quality, they would easily be the best adjustables on the market. However, for now if you want a heavier set, the Pepins are great if you can bite the bullet on the price.

Great comparison! Which one rattles more?

I prefer the durability. As far as weight is concerned it doesnt bother me having 10lb changes....ill either to a few more or a few less reps....i always train to failure and try to have perfect form and i tend to not count my reps. Form over weight and reps.

Could you guys review the best leg machines for a home gym? I’m looking for leg curl and leg extension substitutes. This is the factor that it’s holding me from leaving the gym and starting a garage gym.

Do you have any advice on buying adjustable dumbbells in bulk/for a team setting? We have a small gym but lots of large sports teams so it's hard to have them do dumbbell movements as we are limited on availability at each weight.

Placed an order for the new matte black Nuobell dumbbells, they’re using aluminum for the grips making it better for outdoor use and humidity.

Pls compare Nuobell vs Snode vs Pepin

That feeling when your comment from a previous video ends up in the current video 😅

How much difference (regarding durability and cradle) does Nuo’s upgraded aluminum cradle/handle make?

Not surprised he picked Nuobells

Snodes site shows it has a 2 year warranty now. They must have seen your video!!!

I thought Nuobells would be number 1 - until i got a pair. To me, theh are still too fragile - always have to be extra careful with putting then down after heavy presses. As well, the plates misalign too often when I put them away. Overall, I liked my old powerblocks better - although they have their own downsides it was just easier using them since I wasnt worried about about them breaking.

Thank you, I enjoy your thorough reviews. Dumb question, can these be converted to barbells? Sorry I'm new to this. Thanks!

In the UK the Nuobell 2-32kg are £699 with a stand costing £159 from a reputable firm. You can buy a set of rubber coated from Mirafit 5-30kg in 2.5kg increments but missing the 22.5kg pair on a rack which is only around 40% bigger footprint than the nuobell stand for £1000. There is no comparison, you get 10 pairs of dumbells that will last a lifetime and take up little more room for less than 20% more. I know they have to pay for development costs and take up a bit less room etc . But really they are not worth anything like what they are priced at.

Have you reviewed the Octabell Adjustable Dumbbells yet? Was curious if they were any good?

Hi guys, sry for the noob question, but: Is there a bench for home-rent-appartment that can be all hyperextension, ABS, and press bench? I have very limited space and have already overdone buying powerrack, so I wonder if there decent stuff that can do all in one, especially hyperextension, so I can place it in the middle of my power rack and only adjust it to a needed exercise. Thank you in advance 🙂

I should have gone witn Nuobells. I know you really like the "click" or feel of the change which is one reason you like Nuobells. One thing you didn't say, is the Snode dial is very plastic sounding and the dial numbers must be glued on or something and is wavy...like it wasn't glued on smoothly. The adder weights aren't worth buying and I wonder who on earth came up with that design to put to thick knobs to dig into your legs. I regret buying these!

Saks fifth Avenue often has coupons that can be used for the nuobells that they sell.

Pepin laughing in the background

Currently have boflex 1090, I hate the handle the knurling digs into my hand at heavier weights, looking to upgrade, would you recommend the nuobells?

Trulap's for the win. 😂

I'd be interested in a review of the BODYTECH knockoffs of the NUOBELL.

Can you do a review on the trulaps 8592 dumbbells, they replace 52 dumbells and go up to 92lbs

I want ironmaster eventually

Coule you makena vid about placing a gym in a small garage/shed. The must haves ect?

Regarding the handle. I like to buy tennis racket grip and tup on it. It will make it grip good. And it is soft. And also will add thickness to the handle.

Can you please do a comparison between the Trulap Adjustable Dumbbells vs the NÜOBELLs.

Is there a preference on what time of day 3303 should be taken? First thing I.The morning or before workout

I am surprised that there was no mention of the 50Ib Nuobell option which is what I woujld get (maybe I missed it), reducing price to $600---also a factor that I like to consider is how quick customer service is replying to queries/parts. On that note, I would like to add I left a message at Nuobell but they never called back--others might be able to chime in on these companies' service responsiveness.
