Thanks for the review. I had the Snode 80lb dumbbells. Sold them. It was the wrong feeling for me -- too long, not a real true iron dumbbell, and having to put them back in the cradle just right -- was the wrong experience for me. Found that I needed real dumbbells. So, real for me, has always been the Pro-style (i.e. pancake plates) dumbbells. I now have 10 - 85lb fixed dumbbells (w/ 5lb jumps), with the welded end caps, and with the plates loose enough to be able to spin/rotate -- that's always been the experience I've enjoyed when training with dumbbells. I've always enjoyed the pancake-style dumbbells - they are just the real deal when working out with them, for me.

That is long AF for 60lbs. For that length it should be 120lbs. Maybe they can make the plate diameter a bit wider so the length will be shorter?
@NoFate2476 ай бұрын
Yeah or make the plates more dense so they can all be thinner?
@naegleriafowleri22305 ай бұрын
main downside is that is very wide compared to other adjustable dumbbells while also having less weight, another problem is the cradle is huge, even if you only buy the 30lbs, the cradle is the same size and looks super weird unless is 60lbs. The pro is the longevity and lifetime. Only ironmaster and Pepin have lifetime warranty. Pepin are the best there is, but at $2000 + $300 shipping, is crazy expensive. Ironmasters on sale are only like $600 but is only 75lbs, you would need to buy their 120lbs addon kit.

I have the Nordic track adjustable dumbbells. They go to 55lbs and pretty quick to change. I was torn between the ones I bought and the rep at the time of purchase. I think rep was out of stock when I got these. They do have a decent knurled handle . I think companies like Rep should make the adjustable ones in sets like 5-50 and 50-100 that way they could be taller/thicker plates rather than making the bar so long . Jim

Honestly though, if the price is similar I prefer the powerblocks to Nuobells - Nuobells seem too fragile and destined to break.

good review. same issues with my upgraded handles 90lb powerblocks. I'll likely decide on switching them out depending on what the next version looks like. despite the length/width...Is the balance better on REP's versus powerblocks when doing curls? I've noticed sometimes there's a breaking point with the powerblocks at the top of the squeeze where the balance of the weight throws me off slightly sometimes. Hoping REP makes white lettering and a stand like you mentioned someday
