Fringe Sport Loadable Dumbbell Handle

These are great! The value you get out of these allows you to supplement them with a lighter dumbbell set. I’ve got a bunch of 10lb plates along with 5’s, and 2.5’s to basically be able to build every weight I could need. I usually use them for anything over 75lbs. They can be a little awkward, but it’s manageable. If you really want to get crazy you can add 45’s for some heavy rows lol. They are supposed to be rated for upto 225lbs each handle. I’ve loaded the up to 170lbs to try and mimic a Thomas Inch Dumbbell. So far that’s the heaviest I’ve had them loader up with. They are 15lbs unloaded and the knurling is pretty good. They don’t feel cheap, and they feel like they will last. The customer service for fringe sport was amazing when I ordered them too. It was just one item I was purchasing but the customer service rep treated me as if I was spending thousands.

This was a home run for me. I bought a pair of these back in 2019 and actually made money selling them off individually over the years. The knurling was better on this than any of the Fringe barbells I've owned/used and it was also a better knurl than the Rogue loadable dumbbells (in my opinion - I don't love Ohio bar knurling). The only issue I had was that there are actually needle bearings in the dammed thing and that would make the dumbbells spin like crazy and affect the lifts I was doing (mostly curls and rows).
