[kurdt]

i just went to the sporting goods store this weekend and bought these , i was looking at getting for a while but i heard they weren't very good . but i tried them out and they are better then the conventional db's .

[hockeybuilder]

yea i have something like that, saves so much space and i dont mind it, its just for when i cant make it to the gym and for my dads little workout area in our house

[Random907]

How much?

[drkzk]

Eventually I'll get the set that goes up to 100 or higher,
but they're ****in expensive... can get a power rack for the same price

[thehybridpyro]

a couple hundred for that instead of a whole set of DBs is good

and you can buy a few of the REALLY heavy ones if you need to

I saw a set at Costco the other day. They went up to 95 pounds in each hand, and they were about $700 for everything. Suddenly I'm thinking they wouldn't be a bad idea.

[videogamer]

you can get bowflex seletect dumbbells for under 700$

or $599.00 for the 90 pounds

399 for the 52.2 pounds

and 149.00 for up to 20 pounds

and u can even get the stand if u want also for 150$

i got 1 and it works nicely. i got the 52.2 one. my marine m8s like it also

all you do is slid the slider to the number you want and thats what u lift..

or the bowflex = turning

* pull up then slid for the slider ones *

its a locking / changeing the weight of the system. if i pull it up and slid it it will leave the weight in the stand and it will then lock on to the next number = weight.

1-2-3-4 if i pull to 3 = 3 pounds and 4 will be off.

as bowflex is nicer as i just have to turn it and thats it. very fast.

* as you see in the pic that red thing pull it up then slid it to anthor number*

ya i saw the bowflex ones too they were like $100 more then mine and didnt come with a stand , but i did like em better .
right now the most im doing is 45 lbs for db press so theyll last me for a lilttle while then i was gona pick up like 2x 60 70 80 90 as i need em

[FSUMuscle07]

i have the same ones. they are awesome.

[surf891]

When I picked them up, it just seemed alittle bulky to have the 5lb weights the same size as a 50. I can understand if you are strict on space though. They also feel like they are going to fall apart in your hand.
