APPROVED!! New NordicTrack Adjustable Dumbbells!

[@MattTolbers]

What's your favorite adjustable dumbbells? ➡ NordicTrack Dumbbells amzn.to/3jcXAyi

[@DanesinTexas]

Out of the ones I’ve tried I have to go with the Snode…and then regular DBs for the heavier sets 👌👌👌

[@MattTolbers]

Love using adjustable for lower sets and real dumbbells for heavier :) I seen your review on the Snode, I’ll have to get them to review and check out

[@Omerobbie101]

Hi, I'm in Europe and we don't have Nordic but other brands that very look alike. One of them is Taurus Selectabell. Do you know (or anyone else) if this is the same dumbbell? Even the version before is exactly the same but in other colors... Nordic and Taurus are both known for their fitnessquiment, but not for weight-equipment so should make sense. What do you think?

[@werock2785]

I got the Weider 55 pound adjustable dumbbells for $250 (2 dumbbells) at Sam's Club. Both Weider and Nordic Track are owned by a company called ICON. ICON manufactures these dumbbells. Both of these dumbbells are the same exact dumbbells just with different brand stickers. If the Weider ones are available to you I recommend you save $80 and get the ones sold by Weider.

[@MattTolbers]

Yep same thing, tons of companies do the re branding thing.

[@zaineridling]

Great tip, thank you! 💯

[@ty-lim]

I was wondering if the weider 55 lb from Sam's club and the NordicTrack are the same, thanks for confirming. Waiting for my wieder order from Sam's club to arrive.

[@kyRRrider]

Yup, I got the Weiders at Sam's for $200, they are just like these, I really like them.

[@sargonoshana2324]

Great tip, but I think they have 2 versions of weider dumbells. Thanks

[@joefitness63]

FYI: The NordicTrack 50lb. dumbbells are exactly the same - rebranded, as the ProForm Rapid Strike 50 Lb. adjustable dumbbell set...and the NordicTrack 55 lb. dumbbells are exactly the same as the Weider WSAW5520 55-pound Select-a-weight dumbbell set. I have the 55lb. Weider set...GREAT dumbbells!

[@robelder11]

Still the only review on KZbin! A year later how's the durability, no issues with the weight changing mechanism? Thanks!

[@dammitjim9131]

Great review! Thorough. Check out the PRIMAL STRENGTH PERSONAL adjustable dumbbells sold only in the UK (bummer). They use the exact same design but go to 70lbs which is preferable to me but I can't get them shipped to me, unfortunately. Wished the NordicTrack ones would go to 70lbs. Maybe someday.

[@QueueTeePies]

Unfortunately, they jacked up the price from $299 to $399. I was able to get it last year before the hike. As someone that recently started lifting, I thought this 55 lb dumbbell will be overkill but nope. Progressed pretty quickly. Went from 130 lbs @ 5'7 to 160 lbs in about 13 months and I'm able to press the 55 lbs. If you're thinking this is too heavy, you will be able to max it fairly quickly. I chose this one because of the 2.5 lbs (mostly) increment which is a lot easier to progress than other brands that does 5 lbs. The only thing I dislike is the uneven distribution of weight like this video pointed out. Make sure you don't press the db upside down.

[@jonathanr2417]

Fantastic review! Very thorough with helpful tips. Found them under a different brand at Sam's club for 270$ after tax and free shipping (father in law let me use his plus membership it would've been 320$ w/o).

[@Davepaul28]

Hey, nice review video. I own these dumbbells. You actually can do 37.5 on these, although it does put the dumbbells off balance a little. You click both to the 2.5. Then put one side to the 30 and the other to the 40.

[@Gym-Girls]

can u do all the 7.5 jumps ?

[@Davepaul28]

Yes, you just count each plate as 5lbs. So the 10 notch is 5lbs on both sides of the handle. If you do 1 side to 10 and the other to 20. You are pulling out 15lbs. Then add the 2.5s and you get 17.5.

[@Gym-Girls]

@@Davepaul28 thank you!

[@campbellscars3431]

Sick review bro. Definitely around the same price as a full set of dumbbells for the same amount of weights, but I get to keep a lot of my home space.

[@MattTolbers]

Thanks bro, definitely save some space and money with these!

[@chrisfebonio7553]

I just wish more of these had actual usable weight. if I'm buying adjustable dumbells it's supposed to be in ace of a home gym. the only ones worth mentioning in my opinion ion have to go atleast to 80 or 90 lbs and even needs to be improved to 125 or 150 each. that way they can be used for every and all workouts. which makes sense for people trying to buy dumbells in place of a home gym in like a small apartment

[@mjl6425]

Excellent review but the 2.5 and 5 pound increments sound a little confusing.

[@ParadeTheGospel]

I was just at Dick's sporting goods looking at a blue version of this that only goes up to 50 lb and the ones that they had on display must have been broke so I was kind of worried about buying these. It wouldn't let me adjust on one side of each dumbbell so I don't know if somebody broke it as it was on display or what. Trying to decide if this is the way to go because when you look at people who are big into weightlifting you never see them use adjustable weights so I don't know what the pros or cons are my biggest worry is that because I do a lot of switching around because of the specific workouts I do I wonder if overtime the mechanism to switch will wear out. And when I do my workouts I am constantly switching weights. Just trying to make an informed decision because dumbbells and weights are definitely not cheap!

[@Fairway-fr4tz]

Thank you so much for your review Matt! I really enjoyed it, and your review of the Core Home Fitness adjustable dumbbells too. Will you please comment as to whether the NordicTrack or the Core Home Fitness dumbbells would be better for: 1. Standing overhead tricep extensions where you must grab the end of one dumbbell (loaded 40-50 lbs) with both hands, and other overhead dumbbell exercises work like 2. 45-degree decline dumbbell bench presses (loaded 40-50 lbs), and 3. dumbbell skull crushers as well? Thanks again!

[@milletmax]

I too am interested in thw Core Home Fitness vs Norditrack comparison.

[@danvalicek]

@@milletmax +1

[@mohammada1437]

Same, can you please compare them?

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

To achieve 17.5 lbs couldn’t you just put 2 plates on one side and 1 plate on the other side along with it’s 5lb setting (so actually it adds 2.5 lbs)? This would make it about 7.5lbs on one side of the dumbbell and 10 lbs on the other side = 17.5lbs. Is the 2.5lb imbalance that noticeable?

[@TheMelvsmeister]

Did you used this in pull overs? Does it still feel solid and safe especially now you're holding more on just the plates for the entire weight of the dumbbells? Thanks!

[@pearl_b]

Thanks! I just got these for my husband and he loves them!

[@takenusername]

When doing an overhead tricep extension with these weights, is that orange plastic clip the only thing holding the entire stack of plates on the bar? Also, are the blue ones considered newer or older? Their website only shows the blue ones, which unfortunately have the rubber grip.

[@xaviier_77]

Hey brother, I like this honest review and the price seems decent in comparisons to other companies as the price can be expensive. I looked on Amazon Canada and they sell it for similar price, this will be my first time purchasing an adjustable dumbbells however, it won't be my first rodeo using weights. My main concern is due to the travel size of the product some reviews via amazon mentioned product damage. Did you purchase warranty/insurance for these weights? Thanks for your share!

[@RedlineXLR]

Appreciate the review, man. Nordic Track doesn’t have any details of this version of the select-a-weight on their website, so this was incredibly helpful. Also adding your own 5 was a smart idea that I’ll be stealing for sure

[@williamA7836]

Weider has a 55 that looks just like those, please review it

[@werock2785]

I looked at the weider ones. They are the same exact ones. Both Weider and Nordic Track are owned by ICON. ICON manufacturers these dumbbells. The Weider dumbbells and these Noridc Track dumbbells are the same exact product with different brand stickers on.

Both are same thing, different color and re branded

[@jimmycruz9114]

Which ones you like better these or core fitness

[@n.rose3188]

Which one do you thinks better, and more durable? Nordictrack, or the home core fitness?

[@MattTolbers]

That’s kind of a hard one. The Nordictrack feels more durable and has more weight choices. The core is so quick and convenient. If you plan to use an adjustable dumbbell for lighter lifts and real dumbbells for weight above 55lbs then I’d go core. If you just want one set and 55lbs is enough I’d go Nordictrack. Both are great choices compared to many out there

[@JohnGaltfromAtlas]

@@MattTolbersI'd like to see you compare these two - they sound similar in many ways; I'm curious where you'd see pros/cons of each.Clearly, Nordic has raised their bar (pun intended). Nice video!

[@MattTolbers]

Thanks man, yeah those 2 are a close match in my opinion. I’ll have to make a comparison video soon

[@JohnGaltfromAtlas]

@@MattTolbers Look forward to it. At even $, I think someone is finally making a compelling choice to Core. On another note, glad you put the Amazon link: the NordicTrack website is still showing (what I believe is) the older version, and at an elevated price..........

[@MattTolbers]

Yeah I don’t know what the deal is with Nordictrack not adding it to their website yet. Kinda weird but I’d assume they will soon

[@tigercong]

where did you purchase it for $365? All I see is $599 on Nordictrack website, or $20-50 cheap on Amazon.

[@MattTolbers]

Amazon, but prices are all over the place since then. Check out the weider version, same thing might be able to get for cheaper.

[@TacticalDingus]

[@MattTolbers]

Thanks and glad it was helpful!

[@shycreation9418]

Dang I didnt realize these went in such small increments or I might have bought them....... You like these or the core home better?

[@MattTolbers]

That’s a hard one, if the small increments are pretty valuable to you I’d go these. If you want super quick weight change and small increments aren’t to big of deal and can get a better price go core.

[@jeffsmystic]

So the red version is the newest? I've found alot of confusion over this verses the blue version..

[@MaxAcceleration]

Can you split the smaller added weights, like do 2.5 on one side and 0 on the other - that should give you 1.25 added weight. Or 5 one one side and 2.5 on the other to give you 3.75 added pounds? They probably want you to do them in pairs but I wouldn't think it would matter much with the smaller weights.

[@bossfan61]

Yes, you can. I have this exact set and I moved those inner orange tabs to opposite sides and it lifted out of the tray.

[@IKARIANOFFICIAL]

@@bossfan61 - Can you tell me how long these Nordic Adjustable Dumbbells are? I just now ordered these newer versions (with the orange tabs) but now am concerned that if the full 55 pound weight is overly long it may be awkward to do DB Bench Presses and Overhead Presses.

The system is ok, nothing beat Powerblocks when it comes to adjustable dumbbells though, as in.. not even close. The same system as in the video, is also made for an adjustable barbell & ez-bar system, but it doesn't work great there, as there is imbalance in the weight distribution with this system, which is not noticeable realy with the dumbbells, but e.g. using the EZ-bar with this system for skull-crushers or doing bicep curls, then it becomes very noticeable & annoying.

Do you now prefer the Nordics to the Core's? You always comment how much you like the Core's for lighter loads. More importantly, do you have a recommendation for a lighter set of adjustables? Is it the Flybirds (25 lbs)? The reason I ask is I need a lighter set to carry in my RV when I travel & I really prefer the Core/Nordic style of not having the full extended bar width when using less than the max weight. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.....(!!)

[@MattTolbers]

The FlyBird 25lb are very small so I wouldn’t worry about the full bar much but yes the core and Nordictrack are a better design in my opinion. It’s a hard pick for me between the core and Nordictrack, both are at the top for adjustable dumbbells. Core are a little easier and quicker to change weight which is great for drop sets or just a good weight lifting experience where the Nordictrack have more weight choices and go 5lbs more, also feels a bit more solid if you accidentally dropped. I’d say if they are same price go Nordictrack, but if price gap is to much go Core forsure. The prices have changed so much so don’t want to comment on that as it may change again, but look into price difference and I’d let that be my main choices. Hope that helps
