Powerblock adjustable dumbbell

[Gators]

Anyone have any feedback on these or other brands of adjustable dummies? I work out at home and need dumbbells, but the hex dummies and stand is pretty pricey.

BTW if anyone wants to sell some dummies at a good deal, PM me. And no, i don't mean FSU or Ga fans when i say dummies

I got powerblocks and that is the best purchase i've made from all equipment. Very easy to change weights. Looks solid. I dont drop the dumbbells, so this is not an issue for me as you cant drop them from 12" or more.

I used them to train clients at home. Well worth the price.

You should be able to find some adjustable dumbbells on your local CL for cheap.
Maybe on online stores too but the shipping might kill the deal.

I got ya back.

Here's what I did. Its really cheep, really effective.

First thing ya do, head over to Home Depot and buy this little guy. I think it was $10. We will be cutting it into 12" pieces.

Next, WalMart had bicycle grips, these are the ones I picked because of the end pieces. Doesn't matter really, were gonna cut 'em up anyway. I think these were $9

Now if your grips dont have those end pieces, just cut a small section out of the grip.

Then slide the rubber grips over the bars and place them where ever comfortable. CAREFUL: those end pieces on the bar are still strap as hell, as you can see, I sanded 'm down a little bit.

Next, take some athletic tape and tape the shit outta them. I actually only used 2 layers, so the grip stayed the same size. The little guys are cut to 12" They can hold a max of 80lbs. The big guys I cut to 20", they can hold 160lbs

Head down to Play It Again Sports and pickup as many pancake plates as you can lol. Mine had a sale, $.50/lb so needless to say I bought 'em out. Oh, dont forget to pickup those red clamps, there a few aisles down at the Depot.
