what does Veeky Forums think of these kinds of adjustable dumbbells? Are they worth it? I don't have much room and want to add some arm work to my cardio routine. They seem pretty expensive but seeing as they go up to 32.5kg each, that seems like it'd keep you going for a long time (that's basically like a 65kg bench, currently I bench about 45 so there's some good room to grow)

Should I get them? argos.co.uk/product/6197467

look on your local cl before buying new equipment, there are always fattys selling their stuff

how the fuck would that thing even work? the weight is still on the bar, regardless of where you twist that stupid fucking knob.

how the fuck does that even work

i'm in the uk, CL has basically nothing over here. I tried gumtree too but can't find any that are cheaper than these (one guy selling two with a bench for £270, might be worth asking if he'll sell them on their own for less)

they have a locking system, you twist the thing and it picks up different plates depending on how much weight you specify. The other ones are left in the rack. see: youtube.com/watch?v=ruccnOLfqvw

seems like a pretty good way to get a wide range of DB weights without taking up the space of a whole rack, plus it's cheaper. And £260 is about a year's gym membership for me so hopefully this will pay for itself in the long run.

no theyre a giant meme. you can buy regular cheapo dumbbells for much less that do the exact same thing

also, dumbbell only routines are garbage. go to a gym. you can buy a membership with the money you save from not buying that shit

hope this helps

That's pretty convenient

also. seeing as youre in the uk. look at a carboot. theres always peope selling shitty dumbbells for nothing at them

I have them and they are good for doing a bit of lifting on my days off but only get them if you can't afford a gym membership.

I can't really afford a membership, they're rarely less than £30-40 a month here. £60+ if you want 24/7 access which I do. Also struggling to find time to get to a gym so i was hoping having these in my room would make it easier to do a quick routine in the morning.

good idea, i have no car however so i dont know how i'd get to one. they're usually not in the centre of town.

I can buy a 30kg normal set for about £50 yes but they usually only go up to about £10kg per hand, which I can do easily, and it means you're limited when it comes to excercises because half of them aren't tough enough and doing 80 curls a day isn't a good idea. also i was mainly planning to use them to supplement running and cycling, I'm not trying to get huge, just to even out my body a bit because i'm slightly t-rex mode at the moment.
