Buying adjustable olympic dumbbells for my home gym was one of the smartest moves I ever made.

Really helpful bro. You hit on everything I was looking to learn about these to make the right choice.

I totally agree with getting adjustable dumbbells for home use for sure-- much more versatile. Thanks for the review-- I had thought about upgrading, but now I think I've reconsidered. I have an adjustable set, but the size of the center of the weights is 1 inch instead of 2 inches-- the advantage of my set though is that the sleeve uses a screw to tighten the weights-- makes it take a lot longer to change the weights but you can fit more on the sleeve without needing 3 inches for the collar (I can get away with less than an inch) The huge advantage of rogue seems to be that you can put normal sized plates on there that you can use for other things, and that they're so durable. But it's definitely a huge disadvantage to me that you need so much room to fit the collar on either end, and thus they are so much longer than they'd need to be compared to the cheap screw set I have.

This was very informative, you answered all my questions concerning the two sizes. Thank you.

Great review my man, I currently own 3 adjustable dumbbells(1 from Titan Fitness and 2 from CAP) to do my standing presses. Btw, I see you’re a man of culture😏😏😏...”I’AM LORD OROCHI!!!!”

Cheapest option: plates on a chain and optional gymnastics ring or some handle or a cheap pvc pipe. It does the job for the most important isolation exercises like curls and laterals etc. You can even use your head harness for it. Also, in some instances it is even more convenient, because of how huge dumbbells get. Also, its infinitely loadable for one armed shrugs for example.

Great video! I might add that the knurling "feel" or aggressiveness can vary with different coatings on bars. For example, I have an E-coat Ohio bar, and the knurling is a tiny bit "softer" than a bare bar, as they both have had the same knurling process when they're built, but the E-coat was added on AFTER, thus filling in the crevices slightly and resulting in a slightly less aggressive feeling pattern. Hope this helps!

I use these with Strength Shop steel plates. They're a good balance between diameter and thickness allowing you to max out capacity. The Weight-it-out plates are even more dense but they're only available in America. If you have the money and space I would recommend regular dumbbells as changing weights is cumbersome and for better feel. The Rogues just don't feel like a solid unit, but it may be better with tight-fitting plates like the ones Rogue sells, but you will not get as much weight on the sleeves as the plates are less dense. Also it's kinda iffy doing overhead movements with the Rogue loadables as the sleeves are held on by just two snap rings. When you do pullovers or triceps extension, depending on technique, you're gripping only the sleeve. Rogue support recommended against doing any kind of overhead movements with these, but of course they want to minimize liability. I disassembled these and I don't think they're going to fall apart on you but it's something to keep in mind. Regular dumbbells, as long as they're correctly welded/cast, are safer. It's worth looking into non-olympic adjustable dumbbells as there are good offerings now. Ironmasters and Pepins, for example. If you're firm on olympic handles, maybe consider ones without rotating sleeves to remove the safety hazard.

I love your accent, it sounds beautiful and I can understand you clearly!

In my personal experience as I bought only one dumbells with fixed wieght it will not cut anyhow. Nice tips man. Also for time being I m using grain packs in bags for now

Damn all this equipment looks so useful, especially at times like this. Wish I was old enough to buy myself home gym equipment😔

Hi natty dude! Since you are in the US and You would have access to them. I was wondering about your opinion on the Ironmasters? They seem to be perfect adjustable dumbbells for heavy lifting if you have the money. Since they go fairly heavy (like up to 165 lbs per hand) and they are pretty durable as well. They also do not seem limit you range of motion due the quick lock system they have + it seems fairly quick to adjust them. They are next to impossible to get a hold of here in the good old EU but what about over there?

i can't ever imagine the garage gym review guy and natural hypertrophy being in the same room.

Great review, much appreciated! Would you recommend these over, say, the Eleiko olympic dumbbells (or other adjustable available)? These are very expensive, and you'd have to buy the plates to go with them (i myself would have to do that) which would bring the total amount up by a considerable margin... In short: would these be a good "investment" or would it be better to go for a set of fixed dumbbells and be done with it? Both options seem to be very expensive...

here where i live (europe) there aren't any 10lb plates. Should i use 5kg or 2.5kg for my dumbells. Sorry for the stupid question.

I’ve got a combo going of 2 pairs of CAP spin locks that go from 8-40 (anything over 20 each I have to start taking from the other set) and just ordered titan fitness 20” Olympic handles for $99. I couldn’t rationalize spending $300 on the rogue pair

If you're in the US there's a company called "weight it out" who make raw steel plates that are super thin. I was able to buy the db-10 and load it up to make 95lb dumbbells. The only thing is the plates are pretty expensive tbh so there's the catch lol

Hi Natural, what collars do you use on these dumbbells? I have these types of dumbbells too but don't trust the clamps I have with protecting me from falling plates if I try overhead movements or pullovers. Thanks!

you're really pretty. i just bought a pair of 15s mostly to do farmer walks in my yard lol hope it works for me

What is a reasonable amount of 10 lb plates one should own to get good value of these? 8? 12? Currently, I own four 25 lb plates, four 10 lb plates, and six 2.5 lb plates (155 lbs of plates). For upper body this is honestly enough for a while since my big compound movements are weighted calisthenics and vertical presses. The question is probably more important towards how much weight I would need to progress on the goodmornings and front squats, assuming training legs is a new thing for me. Probably want to leave some weight on the rack so it remains stable as well.

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a pair of olympic dumbbells. I'm not sure wether to ask them with a 25 or 28 mm grip, what would you recommend? Thanks in advance

U mentioned only 2 plates per side on the 10s. What if I use thinner cast iron plates? Reckon I can get more on?

Can i put a lot of weight (like 50kg) on some cheap regular 45cm dumbbel handle or does it have to be high quality like the ones you have?

Salut, j'ai acheté des DB15 de chez Rogue , tu arrives à faire du développer coucher pour les pecs et du développer épaules sur un banc ? Je trouve la mise en place super compliqué comparer à des haltères qu'on trouve a la salle pour le même poids à cause de la forme du bout des haltères

Will these bumpers fit a normal bar. Is it the same demension as a standard bar

couldnt you put a 25 and a 10 on the 15 inch? meaning you could get up to 70 lbs + handle weight

What diameter is the handle in millimeters? Grazie ciao

Hey NH do you think +$25 for stainless steel over the black zinc is worth it?

Can you fit 2 10's and a 5 on the DB 10 or can you just get 2 10's and nothing else?

I know you said the db10s could fit two 10s per side, but do you think the db10s could fit two 25s per side?

Is loadable db worth it if u have ez curl bars?

I would personally just put 5kg plates on there

Where are you from ?

BUT HYPHY WHAT ABOUT RIBCAGE EXPANSION!

You can totally put 25 pound plates on both of these.
