Idk why you feel like recommending adjustable olympic dumbbells

Idk why you feel like recommending adjustable olympic dumbbells
The plates are too large in diameter ROM is limited, if you use smaller diameter plates they're too wide and you won't get the enough weight on the collars
You'll be spending 60-70% of the cost of a full dumbbell rack so why not spend the rest to get proper dumbbells that were designed with a proper ROM/weight balance
I’m sorry that I fell for this meme should have gotten those white label chinese hex dumbbells in the first place even with their moronic convex handle and the necessary space

    you can use oly plates on your barbell too, that's their big pro
    of course if you only curl 5 lbs it doesn't matter

    The only reasonable adjustable dumbbell is that watson one but it's basically a UK exclusive not worth after tax and shipping it's bare steel

      they seem well engineered/durable
      there's one guy on youtube who tested it by loading plates on the end of a barbell and jumping on it and the collar didn't move

        they have plastic parts but that's important for strain relief
        i would trust them for overhead movements, the entire point of expensive collars tbh

    If I ever get a home gym, I will just ditch dumbbells entirely. I only use them for lateral raises right now. I think I could manage, barbell autism has become very advanced, apart from the lateral raises I only use barbells or BW+weight. I could sub the lat raises with upright rows.

      You can just do lateral raises with plates, works finger strength too.

      You can replicate almost every unilateral movement with a landmine anyway. Dumbbells are nice to have but not absolutely necessary.

      because lead is a rarer metal than steel and is a neurotoxin
      while its mostly stable, its like an antique uranium glassware - kinda safe but you're better without it

      also if you dropped the barbell wouldn't the weight deform because lead is malluable? or is that just when its really hot, like in a bullet

    i took an oly db, and got calibrated plates for it

    calibrated plates per side:
    4x 10kg
    1x 5kg, 1x 2.5kg, 1.25kg, 1kg, 0.5kg, 0.25kg

    can make 65kg dumbbell each,
    adjustable in 0.5kg steps each
    10kg plates are 32cm diameter, only 18.4mm thick

    cost me 1800 euros for 2x105kg dumbbells, adjustable in steps of 0.5kg

    now imagine you had to buy dumbbells all the way from 5kg to 105kg, 2 of each, in steps of 1kg, cuz they dont go halvezies

        1800 euros was like 1 year of saving (including half of vacation pay), so wasnt that bad

        used to have a whole room in the house for my equipment, but then we had a kid, so had to downsize

        now, i only have 2 dumbbells, a foldable bench, pullup bar on the wall, and a foldable dip station on the wall
        all in the attic lol

        anyway: 1800 isnt that much if you are good at saving, and dont have much expenses

      What do your 10kg plates look like? Here in 'murica, 25 pounder can be anywhere from stubby pucks to the full 17.72" diameter.
      Usually if you want a 200+ pound adjustable dumbbell here, you just get a bunch of super skinny 10 pound steel plates.
