Something like power blocks?

Hybrid · 11-28-2005, 10:04 PM

Is there anything like a power block (dumbells that you can set a weight for them.... If you understand me) out there on the market that goes up to preferably 100lbs? Powerblocks only go up to 41. Who the hell wants a 41lb dumbell....

O/T: well sorta, i had a look and couldnt find any, what i did find which suprised me was a set of chrome DB's for 1200USD... why the hell would anyone want to spend that much on a set of light, shiny dumbbells? what about if they got dented....how much would u cry?

im shocked silly :s

oh: nautilus adjustable doo daa DB's go up to 51lbs?

if all u want is 100lb dumbells why not just put lb plates on a dumbbell yourself? just wondering - thats what i do, it makes a rather large db tho.

I have an olympic dumbell, but the clamps on the sides (since dumbells get moved differently - you know, like vertically when your kicking them back for presses or whatnot) fall off, and then of course the weights follow. Makes for a pretty unsafe lift.

EDIT:I would LIKE them to go up to 100, but if they couldn't, 80 would be the lowest I would want. Otherwise, I can use my olympic dumbells up to 50-55lbs, and then buy dumbells from 55-80.

The spinlocked adjustables I believe come in different lengths. May want to look at that.

Bowflex (cringe) makes them, but I doubt they go any higher than 60 lbs each... look at the target audience.

Don't forget your multi

I was told you really can't fit much weight on them, and if you buy the long ones the long spinlock area just gets in the way. Is that true? I had considered them but after hearing this I dispelled the thought of getting them.
