What's your favorite type of dumbbell? Shape, material, ones that you can add weight onto or not?

My favorite are the ones you posted. The grip feels right its not too skinny or thick
I have all metal ones at home. I had adjustable, but they get to be a pain in the ass. Changing the weights all the time sucks, and I had the irrational fear the clips would fail during overhead triceps extension or something like that.
Got these little over a month ago. I like that they feel solid. I don't like not having a weight tree and so many weights. $80 all together
I like the ones you posted OP but I also like the ones that have circular weights instead of hexagons. I also have a thing for neoprene weights but that's cause I'm a huge fag
I have those. There pretty great except the bolts on the end start to spin off towards the end of my sets.
Those ones you posted.
I have a 10kg, 15kg, and a 20kg one at home.
They're great.
those desu. i use a 30 right now but I'm getting a 40 one of the same brand
I like the slimy one, the one that slides around the cock like a butter tub.
Don’t clang them together because the penis is sore when crushed.
I've been looking for a cheap set of adjustable weights. Where'd you get them?
That's what she said
I use these. Its a little more awkward when doing db bench but its cheaper than buying 60>120 dumbells for the shit I do
I just have one 40lber that I do weird shit with
Laying side raises
Raised leg lunging bent over row
Reversed lunging bent over row
Laying face down kick backs
Squating pec flyers
Side laying bicep curls
Laying on stomach tricep press
Turkish get up with 360° jumping jerk
>Gotta shock the body ya kno
Olympic barbells use clips that let the plates spin freely. This negates dargerous torque forces that would otherwise be applied to the wrists.

I'm surprised I've never considered that! Sounds like something worth investing in then, since I've found myself having wrist issues as of late and I'd like to get back into it later on.
I've got some adjustible dumbbells, with plates and screw on nuts. They get the job done. My hands are always busy changing the weights in between sets. If I could choose anything for adjustible weights, I'd get powerblocks. The main reason is their flat ends would let me get them closer together during presses than my dumbbells, and also I could lift them with my legs into position for presses.
only correct answer for a home gym. carry over pl8s from barbells and the spin helps wrists and grip
what am I looking at here
The weight locks are on backwards tardboy, get a refund

55 sets of dumbbells in 1. To change the weight, you just move a pin and they only pick up the weighs you've specified.
Standard spinlocks are the best IMO for a couple of reasons.
They're cheap
You can add extra metal collars which weigh approx. 0.25kg to micro load them.
The one that i can lift
By far the ones OP has posted, hex dumbells are the best imo. Any rubber covered ones really.
Hex plates however like pic related are fucking nasty, proper round Olympic plates or gtfo.
Craigslist, you'll find tons of people selling equipment.
Uhmmm no sweetie ;^)
Best for home use IMO. Can have any weight you want with a combination of plates instead of 800lbs of dumbbells on a rack in your garage. I got a 1” barbell too so I can share the plates between them. I have spring collars on mine though, they don’t slide
yeah i got a set like this from amazon, of course I prefer non adjustable at the gym but I have neither the money or the space for a full weight rack at home
This are the standard in my gym I like them senpai
i have those and like them
Used to have ones like these but I prefer having solid ones.
I thought they stopped making floppy disks
Those look awkward and unwieldy as fuck.
My uni gym has a set of these and I really like them. The grip being slightly wider in the middle feels nice in the hand and the knurling is good.
Prob gonna get an adjustable set tho for homegym purposes. Very space efficient to be able to reuse plates.
Worst ones coming through
those are the best i've experienced
btw i only have access to commercial gyms
With these, the tradeoff is changing the weights. I'm experimenting with using a set weight per day various different exercises (no bench yet) using that weight. This is to adapt my laziness.
To those considering home weights: do you have the space for a good range of individual dumbbells, or can you stand twisting weights on and off all the time?
Those, the grip is nice and you can drop them without having them fuck up the floor.
Those are the worst.
