Loadable Dumbbell

If you need these, you know what you’re getting. Perfect for someone who doesn’t want a whole set of dumbbells - but already has weights. Great addition to any home gym.

Best dumbbell handles I have tried. I own the Titan version, and if I used them more, I'd upgrade to these, but I don't feel confident with collars above my head not slipping off. However, that doesn't speak to the quality of the bar.

Bottom-line up front: These handles are built in America to spec to replicate the feel of a barbell in your hands. They do exactly that, from the bar diameter to the assembly and maintainability, they really are like 'mini barbells'. Their MSRP is commensurate. The good: Handle weight is to spec (mine each weigh 12.00lbs on the nose according to my super (not)precise luggage scale). Knurling is consistent and covers enough handle to accomodate all hand sizes. Loads the same weight plates you presumably already own. Plenty of loading space on sleeves to get these truly heavy with 25#s; reasonably heavy with many 10#s. The bad: They're loadable dumbbells built for a specific purpose; that purpose inherently lacks versatility. Weight changes will not be fast. The ugly: Getting these heavy is either going to require loading 25#'s, which may or may not vibe with your build/anthropometry and the movements you plan to do, or stocking up on lots of 10# plates.

Should start by saying I'm not a fan of loadable DBs. While the build quality on these is nice, they are expensive and not super versatile.
