While I generally recommend a barbell and a set of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-weight-plates\">best weight plates<\/a> to start, I\u2019m not sure my garage gym would ever feel complete without a rack full of hex-head dumbbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the best dumbbells, our team has researched more than 100 pairs and sets. We then got our hands on dozens of traditional dumbbells, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-adjustable-dumbbells\">best adjustable dumbbells<\/a>, and loadable dumbbells, testing for factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Durability<\/strong>: Can they withstand use after use in a garage gym? <\/li><li><strong>Functionality<\/strong>: Do they feel good in the hand? Do they get the job done?<\/li><li><strong>Value<\/strong>: Are they reasonably priced?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Truth be told, many of the products you see online from various retailers are produced in the same factories and simply rebranded over and over again. Because we\u2019ve tested so many dumbbells, we know this for a fact. And we\u2019ve sifted through all of the repeats to find the best dumbbells based on unique factors, manufacturing practices, warranties, shipping, and customer service.

Urethane is a type of rubber that\u2019s more durable than the rubber compounds on most dumbbells. The REP urethane dumbbells in my garage gym are in perfect condition four years in, and they are used and dropped every day, over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Urethane has a higher load-bearing capacity and better resistance to grease, oils, and dirt. It\u2019s also harder than most rubbers and generally built to outlast and outperform typical rubber products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So basically, if you want to drop a pair of these REP Fitness Urethane Coated Round Dumbbells from your rooftop, go for it. Just kidding. They do have a lifetime warranty, but they\u2019re probably not warrantied for 30-foot drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/rep-fitness-discount-code\">REP Fitness Discount Code<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do recommend that before buying these, you check to see if your floors are really level. Otherwise, thanks to the round head design, you\u2019ll spend a lifetime chasing these across your floor in between sets. Or you\u2019ll just have to re-rack them every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Underneath the urethane coating is solid steel dumbbell heads. The handle is also solid steel, chrome-plated, and fully knurled for a non-slip grip. Instead of a contoured handle, REP uses a straight handle that\u2019s very barbell-like. I personally love this but recognize that many people prefer a contoured handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current pricing might give you some sticker shock, but remember you\u2019re getting a longer-lasting dumbbell and REP\u2019s free shipping. All things considered, these aren\u2019t that much pricier than standard hex head rubber dumbbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Weight

know it happens. With the Giant Lifting dumbbells, you don&#8217;t have to worry about damaging the weight because it comes with a rubber head that protects your weights. These best rubber dumbbells will also prevent heavy weights from cracking your floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Giant Lifting Rubber Hex Dumbbells are like the classic fixed dumbbells you find in commercial gyms, are priced well, and come with features to protect you and your home gym. Plus, they&#8217;re sold in pairs and come with free shipping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll always go with a hexagonal shape for a dumbbell because it prevents it from rolling around if and when they&#8217;re dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/dumbbell-shape\">Does Dumbbell Shape Actually Matter?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"920\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giant-lifting-hex-db-erg-handle-person-kneeling-to-grab-weights.jpg\" alt=\"Person kneeling to grab 50-pound Giant Lifting Hex Dumbbells\" class=\"wp-image-213799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giant-lifting-hex-db-erg-handle-person-kneeling-to-grab-weights.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giant-lifting-hex-db-erg-handle-person-kneeling-to-grab-weights-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giant-lifting-hex-db-erg-handle-person-kneeling-to-grab-weights-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giant-lifting-hex-db-erg-handle-person-kneeling-to-grab-weights-167x125.jpg 167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Giant Lifting adds an extra layer of durability by friction welding the dumbbell head to the handle, which helps prevent the head from falling off when dropped. The handle has center knurling, and while we would&#8217;ve liked to see edge-to-edge knurling for maximum grip, this one&#8217;s still pretty good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Dustin, CES, PN-1, tested these dumbbells and appreciated that the knurling helped with the grip without causing any discomfort. He said, &#8220;They feel very durable, and I like the rubber design. The knurling is medium and enhances the grip without being painful on the hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customer reviewers back up the company&#8217;s claims of the rubber being low odor, so there won&#8217;t be any stench coming off them when taken out of the package. While building a dumbbell set will always be more expensive than buying a pair of adjustable dumbbells, Giant Lifting&#8217;s prices are some of the best for a product that doesn&#8217;t sacrifice quality. Their weights start at around $2 per pound and come with free shipping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these are fairly affordable, you can save even more money by using our <a

If only having 10-pound increments is alright with you, these are a solid choice of dumbbell, strong enough to withstand drops from up to 32 inches.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<section id='p4-block_673f0d8bb87d6' class='p4-blocks-expandable-container'>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__innerblocks-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>The Snode AD80 adjustable dumbbells are our pick for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-adjustable-dumbbells\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-adjustable-dumbbells\">best adjustable dumbbells<\/a>. Coop Mitchell, GGR&#8217;s founder, has used these multiple times, and admits, &#8220;I&#8217;m more impressed with these than I thought I would be.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__figure--container'>\n\n        <figure>\n\n            <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__video--container' data-video-id='gjBZ8YE1h2k'>\n\n                <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__loading-content p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__image-container'>\n\n                    <img src='https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/gjBZ8YE1h2k\/maxresdefault.jpg' class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__video--thumbnail' \/>\n\n                    <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__play-button'><\/div>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n                \n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/figure>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>We love the insanely easy quick-change design, giving it a 4.5 out of 5\u2014one of the highest scores of any adjustable dumbbell we have tested. Also, it&#8217;s great that these have a more traditional dumbbell shape. Unlike many other adjustable dumbbells, your hand won&#8217;t be surrounded by a cage when using these\u2014you can use them exactly like you&#8217;d use a regular ol&#8217; cast iron dumbbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our favorite features about the Snode Dumbbells is the knurled handle (just like the REP ones above). The knurling really helps with grip, though Snode&#8217;s is a bit more on the passive side while still providing good grip. Also, the pancake-like stack of plates is super aesthetically pleasing and allows them to lie flat on your thighs during moves like shoulder presses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<section

The plates are made entirely of cast iron and offer the same level of protection at 10 pounds as they do at 80. There is some plastic, but it&#8217;s in the adjustment gears. So while they&#8217;re fine if dropped once in a blue moon we wouldn&#8217;t recommend making a habit out of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one annoying thing about these dumbbells is that they jump in 10-pound increments, rather than 5 pounds like our prior best adjustable dumbbell pick, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/go\/smrtft-nuobell?subid=5_o_d_5bbca882-bf48-4c75-bb6e-bdbc83ea96e5\">SMRTFT N\u00dcOBELL<\/a>. They&#8217;re also a bit pricier, though the superior construction and warranty against falls (up to 32 inches) push these past N\u00dcOBELL in our humble opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in our <a

Two things that may not suit all lifters: an ergonomic handle design and a limited weight range from 10 to 70 pounds.             <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<section id='p4-block_673f0d8bd0a8f' class='p4-blocks-expandable-container'>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__innerblocks-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Some people still like the idea of having an entire dumbbell set in their home gym or training facility. If you fall into that category, you might want to check out the Major Fitness Rubber Hex Dumbbell sets. The brand offers two main dumbbell sets totaling either 1,040 pounds (pairs starting at 10 pounds going up to 70 pounds) or 440 pounds (dumbbell pairs from 10 to 45 pounds). You can also buy dumbbells in pairs from Major Fitness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These hex dumbbells are covered in rubber to protect both your floors and the weight. You\u2019ll get free shipping on all orders from Major Fitness and a one-year warranty on the dumbbells from the date of purchase.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"920\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/living-fit-dumbbell.jpg\" alt=\"woman using living fit dumbbell\" class=\"wp-image-166334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/living-fit-dumbbell.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/living-fit-dumbbell-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/living-fit-dumbbell-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/living-fit-dumbbell-167x125.jpg 167w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/living-fit-dumbbell-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Major Fitness dumbbells are similar to the other best rubber dumbbells we\u2019ve tested in terms of grip, shape, and quality. I think what sets them apart is the ergonomic handle to better accommodate the shape of your hand. Most dumbbells, fixed or adjustable, have a uniform handle that might be hard for some people to grip. Using a Major Fitness dumbbell feels more like slipping your hand into a pair of gloves made just for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-weightlifting-gloves\">Best Weightlifting Gloves<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a dealbreaker, I should also mention that knurling is just OK. The ergonomic handles don\u2019t have knurling from edge-to-edge like the REP Fitness hex dumbbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Weight

universal tool to target many muscle groups. They are built to last, and their added knurled grip is great for pushing through the end of a workout preventing any slipping. Would not recommend it for a beginner. These dumbbells are built for compound weight and are best for someone with more experience in strength training that may already have Olympic style weights on hand.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<section id='p4-block_673f0d8be6861' class='p4-blocks-expandable-container'>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__innerblocks-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Loadable dumbbells were once the best thing since sliced bread. Now, there are tons of quick-change adjustable dumbbells on the market, but if you still want loadable dumbbells, you can\u2019t go wrong with these from Titan Fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love these chrome-plated steel dumbbell handles because they\u2019re incredibly versatile. I bought a pair of the 15-inch handles during a Black Friday sale a few years ago. I&#8217;d recommend buying the 20-inch pair, however, because I can only get a few of my change plates on these with the barbell collars I have (if I used spring collars, I could probably get a third plate on here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/black-friday-dumbbell-deals\" data-type=\"URL\"

them a 5 out of 5 in that category). For under $100 with free shipping (and often cheaper during sales periods), you can get two of the loadable handles. For comparison\u2019s sake, the loadable dumbbell handles from Rogue are $175 for a single handle, and Fringe Sport has pairs for $154. So really, Titan\u2019s are a steal, and they\u2019re still good quality. (Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/titan-fitness-coupon-code\">Titan Fitness Coupon Code<\/a> for even more savings). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These loadable dumbbells meet some of the same IWF specifications as Olympic barbells: The sleeves are 50 millimeters in diameter and the shaft is 28 millimeters in diameter, just like a 20-kilogram barbell. In all honesty, I\u2019d say these really are just tiny barbells. And I love that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can load these with regular Olympic weight plates, although that might not be the most comfortable or efficient option. I\u2019d like to see some people try doing biceps curls with standard-sized bumper plates on a dumbbell handle! The better option for most exercises is to load them up with change plates or cylindrical plates, which I wish Titan offered. (Rogue does have some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roguefitness.com\/rogue-dumbbell-bumpers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dumbbell bumpers<\/a> though.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Titan Fitness loadable dumbbells have a weight capacity of 400 pounds, yet the handles themselves only weigh 12.1 pounds each (if you get the 20-inch pair). That speaks to the quality construction of the handles. These are also fully knurled and have a bushing rotation system, which adds to the barbell element. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few years, there is some slight corrosion on these. I keep them in my garage gym, which is not climate-controlled, and which is in the very hot South. Overall, I give the construction a 4.5 out of 5, because they have lasted so long and are still in great shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our <a

These adjustable dumbbells are also priced under $500. PowerBlocks are ideal for anyone seeking a durable adjustable dumbbell for at-home workouts.             <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<section id='p4-block_673f0d8c080b5' class='p4-blocks-expandable-container'>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__innerblocks-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>PowerBlocks have been one of GGR founder Coop Mitchell&#8217;s favorites since he built his first garage gym nearly a decade ago, largely because the PowerBlock Elite Series offers the best price-to-performance ratio of any adjustable dumbbell he has tested. He says he considers these the best value adjustable dumbbells for three main reasons: they utilize a quick-change system, they have a wide weight range, and they\u2019re as durable as many fixed dumbbells we\u2019ve tested, whereas durability is usually the primary issue with other adjustable dumbbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__figure--container'>\n\n        <figure>\n\n            <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__video--container' data-video-id='XjLAZ2ztL-M'>\n\n                <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__loading-content p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__image-container'>\n\n                    <img src='https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/XjLAZ2ztL-M\/maxresdefault.jpg' class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__video--thumbnail' \/>\n\n                    <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__play-button'><\/div>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n                \n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/figure>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>We particularly like that you can change the weight in both 2.5- and 5-pound increments, and with added accessories, you can go up to 90 pounds. Without the add-ons, the weight limit is 70 pounds, which is still more than sufficient for a lot of home gym owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Powerblock Elite dumbbells are priced competitively at $419 for a pair up to 50 pounds. If you want the 70- or 90-pounders, you\u2019re looking at an additional $149 for each dumbbell, for each additional set (up to a price tag of about $630).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/powerblock-coupon\">Powerblock Coupon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These dumbbells work via a magnetic selector pin, which quickly changes the weight for 10-pound jumps. For 2.5- or 5-pound jumps, the adjustment works a little differently and takes a little longer: You pull out the selector pin, pull out the handle and slide in one of the metal cylinders and then reverse the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id='block_fffa44bef4e4182224529b0b2e3349aa' class='p4-blocks-carousel-image'>\n    <div id='carousel-block_fffa44bef4e4182224529b0b2e3349aa' class='swiper

magnets either\u2014even during movements like dumbbell snatches,&#8221; Coop says. For being made in the U.S., the value is unbeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as we like the PowerBlocks, we realize the rectangular shape can be tough to get used to. This is the biggest issue for most people. And because the handles are caged, there will inevitably be some contact between your hand and the posts on the bell. This can take some getting used to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a more traditionally-shaped adjustable dumbbell, our pick would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/go\/smrtft-nuobell\">N\u00dcOBELL Adjustable Dumbbells<\/a>, described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See our full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/powerblock-adjustable-dumbbells-review\">PowerBlock Dumbbells review<\/a> for all of the details on these dumbbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Weight range <\/strong><\/td><td>5-90 lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sold as<\/strong><\/td><td>Pairs with expandable packs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Shape<\/strong><\/td><td>Rectangular<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight type<\/strong><\/td><td>Adjustable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Handle material<\/strong><\/td><td>Caged handle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Handle dimensions<\/strong><\/td><td>4.75&#8243;

While I wouldn\u2019t normally recommend CAP over other gym equipment brands, you really can\u2019t beat the value you get in these cast iron dumbbells. The price fluctuates depending on when and where you buy them, but for the most part, these come out to be less expensive than dumbbells from Rogue, REP Fitness, Titan Fitness, and other popular brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have many of the same features as higher-end dumbbells, including a fully knurled handle and a hexagonal head to prevent the dumbbells from rolling around in between sets. The baked enamel finish looks nice when new, but if you leave these dumbbells out in the elements (including the humidity that plagues your garage gym), the coating will eventually crack and chip, leaving iron exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get these CAP dumbbells in weight options from a measly one pound all the way up to 120 pounds. They\u2019re available in increments of 2 to 3 pounds up to the 15-pound dumbbell, at which point they come in 5-pound increments. However, they only come in pairs up to 25 pounds. If you want to go heavier, you\u2019ll have to buy them as a single dumbbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people are familiar with CAP Barbell dumbbells even if they think they aren\u2019t: Walk into any Walmart or Academy Sports &amp; Outdoors store and you\u2019ll likely see some in the fitness equipment section. But I think the best place to get these is on Amazon since you can get them shipped right to your door within a few days with free shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these are decent dumbbells all around, remember that you can\u2019t drop them\u2014especially not from overhead.

With a broad range from 5 pounds to 100 pounds, these dumbbells have a straight, fully knurled handle and rubber coating to help protect your home gym flooring\u2014and the dumbbells\u2014from any accidental drops.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<section id='p4-block_673f0d8c33822' class='p4-blocks-expandable-container'>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__innerblocks-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t had a chance to test out the Iron Bull Strength Rubber Hex Dumbbells, but we\u2019re big fans of the affordable, budget-friendly home gym equipment that Iron Bull has made. These rubber hex dumbbells have the classic hexagonal shape, which will prevent your dumbbells from rolling around a slanted gym floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These hex dumbbells are also designed with a straight, fully knurled handle, which contrasts with some dumbbells having a tapered, ergonomic handle. Whether you prefer a knurled or ergonomic handle for dumbbells is entirely on preference, but we\u2019re fans of knurled goodness at GGR. The grippy knurling goes end to end on the handle, ensuring a strong grip even during high-repetition sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/what-is-barbell-knurling\">What Is Barbell Knurling?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, depending on the pair or set you purchase, you can get these fixed dumbbells for as low as about $1.70 per pound, with free shipping on orders over $150. This is a great choice if you\u2019re looking to purchase an entire set of hex dumbbells, since their weights range from 5 to 100 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iron Bull Hex Dumbbells are coated with a natural rubber that they claim is scent-free. Since we haven\u2019t had our hands on these yet, we can\u2019t verify the claim, but that\u2019s a nice perk, especially since so many rubber dumbbells and bumper plates can have a smell to them right out of the box. The rubber-coated heads will help protect your gym floors if you drop them, although I\u2019d never recommend dropping any dumbbell intentionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table

These dumbbells have a barbell-like feel thanks to a rotating handle.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<section id='p4-block_673f0d8c48988' class='p4-blocks-expandable-container'>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__innerblocks-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Eleiko Evo Dumbbells are easily one of the best dumbbell options out there, but because of the pricing and super niche design, I can\u2019t recommend them as my top pick. If everyone could afford a single $300 dumbbell, sure, but alas, that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong: If you want an absurdly high-quality set of weights in your home gym, Eleiko Evo Dumbbells are it. But you\u2019ll have to pay up. What you\u2019re paying for is a patented rotating handle design that mimics the spin of one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-olympic-barbell\">best Olympic barbells<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__figure--container'>\n\n        <figure>\n\n            <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__video--container' data-video-id='D0vaRSJR_PQ'>\n\n                <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__loading-content p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__image-container'>\n\n                    <img src='https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/D0vaRSJR_PQ\/maxresdefault.jpg' class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__video--thumbnail' \/>\n\n                    <div class='p4-blocks-lazy-load-youtube__play-button'><\/div>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n                \n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/figure>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The Evos range from 12.5 to 150 pounds and you can buy them in singles, pairs, or sets. Lifters will love the premium construction, from the fully knurled dumbbell handle to the sloped head shape and multi-sided design. &#8220;I\u2019m usually a fan of stainless steel, but for the price you\u2019re paying for these dumbbells, the rubberized heads make sense,&#8221; says Coop Mitchell, GGR&#8217;s founder and the person on our team who has used these dumbbells the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/eleiko-discount-code\">Eleiko Discount Code<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eleiko does make the Evos in 2.5 to 10 pounds, but the rotating functionality doesn\u2019t start until the 12.5-pound weight increment. Eleiko claims they tested these by dropping them thousands of times from just 4 inches high to 16.5 feet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"888\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CoopCurlingDumbbells.jpg\" alt=\"Coop curling the Eleiko rotating EVO dumbbells\" class=\"wp-image-111319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CoopCurlingDumbbells.jpg 888w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CoopCurlingDumbbells-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CoopCurlingDumbbells-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CoopCurlingDumbbells-222x125.jpg 222w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CoopCurlingDumbbells-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they rotate, the Evo dumbbells are naturally more ergonomic than fixed dumbbells. This gives them more versatility, making exercises like dumbbell snatches and power cleans more comfortable. They also feature a smaller diameter of 1.5 inches on the handle compared to other Eleiko dumbbells, which could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more, check

However, as long as you don\u2019t drop these dumbbells, they should last for quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-55lb-adjustable-dumbbells.jpeg\" alt=\"Man on a weight bench holding the 55-lb NordicTrack Adjustable Dumbbells\" class=\"wp-image-144450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-55lb-adjustable-dumbbells.jpeg 920w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-55lb-adjustable-dumbbells-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-55lb-adjustable-dumbbells-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-55lb-adjustable-dumbbells-222x125.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-55lb-adjustable-dumbbells-600x338.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The handle has decent knurling, although it\u2019s a bit on the passive side. Still, for the low price, it\u2019s a nice addition to have. Plus, these dumbbells have a flat head, which will give them a more traditional dumbbell feel. \u201cThe pro style design keeps these with that flat head and traditional feel, no matter the weight you\u2019ve adjusted to,\u201d Coop adds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we should note: It\u2019s still a somewhat longer dumbbell at full capacity\u201416.5 inches long at 55 pounds\u2014so it might feel a bit awkward at those maximal weights.

As you can read about in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/cap-barbell-150-pound-dumbbell-set-review\">CAP Barbell 150 Pound Dumbbell Set review<\/a>, the dumbbells start at five pounds and only go up to 25 pounds, so I wouldn\u2019t recommend this set for anyone who can throw down the big weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for those who don\u2019t need more than 25 pounds per hand, I think these are a great choice, especially if you love shopping on Amazon. They aren\u2019t next-level dumbbells, but they\u2019ll do the trick. The hex heads are made of solid cast iron and coated with a durable rubber outer layer. The handles are cold-rolled solid steel, although not stainless steel, so they are prone to corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id='block_e020fd4a6dac4bd2c0fe8186a8b5485d'

However, after reading a lot of reviews on Amazon, I recommend keeping your eye on the product page because it seems the price fluctuates quite often. For example, some people got it on Prime Day for under $200, but at the time of writing, the cost for this set is $380.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that this specific set of dumbbells has shipping limitations: You\u2019ll get your set in three different packages weighing 50 pounds each.

Many of these are made in the same factories in the same places, with the only differences being logos, price, shipping, and warranty. But in case you\u2019re curious, here\u2019s a look at most of the dumbbells worth mentioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Rubber Hex Dumbbells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roguefitness.com\/poly-hex-dumbbell?a_aid=545b8afa63108\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rogue Fitness Poly Hex Dumbbell<\/a>: These are an unbranded version of rubber hex dumbbells that Rogue is retailing while supplies last. The difference is the coating: The regular rubber hex dumbbells have a full virgin rubber coating. On the poly hex dumbbells, the coating is a mixture of rubber and vinyl. This makes the coating slightly harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.repfitness.com\/weightlifting\/dumbbells\/dumbbell-pairs\/rep-rubber-grip-hex-dumbbells#5a14d0643be18\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">REP Rubber Grip Hex Dumbbells<\/a>: Another great dumbbell option from REP Fitness, these are similar to the REP hex dumbbells in our top pick list. There are two big differentiators, both having to do with the grip: The handle on these dumbbells is rubber-coated and contoured, which makes for a totally different grip feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tkqlhce.com\/click-7974152-12716396?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.titan.fitness%2Fstrength%2Fdumbbells%2Frubber-coated-hex%2Frubber-hex-dumbbells-with-chrome-handle%2FHEXDBB-GROUP.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Titan Fitness Rubber Hex Chrome Grip Dumbbells<\/a>: Another typical rubber hex dumbbell, these pairs from Titan Fitness don\u2019t necessarily stand out, other than the chrome handle, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=720665&amp;u=1122310&amp;m=58883&amp;urllink=www%2Efringesport%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fdumbbell%2Dpairs%2D2%2D5%2D100%2Dlbs&amp;afftrack=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fringe Sport Rubber Hex Dumbbells<\/a>: These compare to the Rogue, REP, and Titan rubber hex dumbbells. Nothing overtly special here, other than the free shipping which is always clutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Round Dumbbells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roguefitness.com\/rogue-urethane-dumbbells-new?a_aid=545b8afa63108\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rogue Urethane Dumbbells<\/a>: These are super similar to the REP urethane dumbbells that we recommend, but they don\u2019t have free shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-7974152-12716396?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.titan.fitness%2Fstrength%2Fdumbbells%2Furethane%2Furethane-dumbbells%2FURDMBL_GROUP.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Titan Fitness Urethane Round Dumbbells<\/a>: Another standard urethane round dumbbell. Nothing spectacularly great or bad about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Loadable Dumbbells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=720665&amp;u=1122310&amp;m=58883&amp;urllink=www%2Efringesport%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Floadable%2Ddumbbell&amp;afftrack=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fringe Sport Loadable Dumbbells<\/a>: Just like the Titan loadable dumbbell handles, these are compatible with Olympic weight plates. The difference is that the handles have a black zinc finish and they\u2019re much more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roguefitness.com\/rogue-loadable-dumbbells?a_aid=545b8afa63108\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rogue DB-15 Loadable Dumbbells<\/a>: I like these just as much as I like the Titan Fitness loadable dumbbell handles, but the pricing on these is crazy at more than $150 for a single empty handle.

But these spinlock dumbbells from Titan are a great value, as you get 200 pounds of weight for about $250. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BNgliJ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CAP Barbell Adjustable Dumbbell Set<\/a>: I don\u2019t like the baked enamel coating on the plates that come with this set, but other than that, these are a decent value for anyone building a home gym on budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.repfitness.com\/rep-adjustable-dumbbells#5a14d0643be18\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">REP Fitness Adjustable Dumbbells<\/a>: There\u2019s nothing special about these spinlock dumbbells.

They come standard up to 75 pounds, but with add-ons, they can go up to 165 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/go\/powerblock-pro-dumbbells\">PowerBlock Pro Series Adjustable Dumbbells<\/a>: This is an upgrade from the PowerBlock Elite Series Adjustable Dumbbells I recommend for most people. You can\u2019t be afraid of sticker shock if you want these. They clock in at just under $500, but they do account for 2,565 pounds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/free-weights-workouts\">free weight<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/go\/smrtft-nuobell\">N\u00dcOBELL Adjustable Dumbbells<\/a>: If you want super quick-change adjustable dumbbells, look no further than the N\u00dcOBELL adjustable dumbbell from SMRTFT. They only go up to 80 pounds, but that\u2019s more than enough for most home gym owners. These are the definition of luxury home gym equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zyVeie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MX Select MX55 Rapid Change Dumbbell System<\/a>: A great set for beginners, the MX Select MX55s come with a range of five to 55 pounds and they have a super smooth weight change system. These aren\u2019t my favorite and I think they\u2019re pricier than some other options I like better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2UXmp7J\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells<\/a>: If you\u2019re not sure if you\u2019ll like adjustable dumbbells, go with this pair from Bowflex.

We have personally tested roughly 50 types of dumbbells. Using our in-depth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/ggr-fitness-equipment-testing-methodology\">fitness equipment testing methodology<\/a>, we put dozens of dumbbells to work, using them for our own workouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We evaluate and rate dumbbells on criteria that include several factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3>Durability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do dumbbells pass the drop test? When we drop them, do they break? Aside from that, how would they withstand the elements of a garage gym?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Warranty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We like to see brands stand behind their products. So we look at if dumbbells come with at least a one-year warranty against defects. Bonus points to dumbbells that come with a lifetime warranty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are the dumbbells competitively priced? For iron cast dumbbells, you typically expect to see around $2 per pound, higher for dumbbells that are rubber hex. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3>Workout Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How do the dumbbells feel as we exercise? Do they get the job done? Can they rest comfortably on our legs between bench sets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We assign a rating to dumbbells based on the materials used. For example, we love to see a knurled, steel handle for great grip. We don&#8217;t love to see a lot of plastic, because that can lead to durability issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Optionality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The more options a home gym owner has, the better. We look for dumbbells that offer a range of weights to accommodate beginner and experienced lifters. We especially love to see small jumps of 2.5 to 5 pounds between sets. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Why Your Home Gym Should Have Dumbbells<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/ce78d1da254c0843eb23951ae077ff5f_6108278e35227.png\" alt=\"Coop performing a dumbbell curl\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dumbbells are very versatile strength training tools. With a range of weights, you can use dumbbells to do the big lifts (like squats, deadlifts, and bench press) as well as classic movements like biceps curls. Dumbbells are also great to have around for unilateral (single-side) exercises like split squats, single-leg Romanian deadlifts, single-arm overhead press, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-back-exercises\">back exercises<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, anything you can do with a barbell, you can do a modified version with a pair of dumbbells. All that to say, they\u2019re a foundational tool for making gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/barbells-vs-dumbbells\">Barbells vs Dumbells<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Adjustable Dumbbells Vs Regular Dumbbells<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all this talk about dumbbells, it can be difficult to know which type of dumbbell is best for your home gym space\u2014particularly adjustable dumbbells or traditional dumbbells.

How the weight is adjusted varies by brand, from a quick selectorized system, to loading weight plates onto loadable dumbbells.

Shapes can vary, but traditional dumbbells typically have hex- or round-shaped ends (heads) on a handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we don&#8217;t recommend dropping dumbbells in general, fixed dumbbells will be more durable than most adjustable options. A full set of dumbbells will also take up more space than adjustable dumbbells, so this is an ideal choice for gym owners who have the space for a dumbbell rack and weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h3>Regular Dumbbell Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>More durable weights<\/li><li>No adjustment times needed<\/li><li>Higher maximum weights than adjustable dumbbells<\/li><li>Good for supersets or working out with others<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h3>Regular Dumbbell Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Often pricier than adjustable dumbbells<\/li><li>Takes up more space<\/li><li>Budget options may not have protective rubber coating<\/li><li>Can&#8217;t easily travel with<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Choose the Best Dumbbells for Your Garage Gym<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/buying-dumbbells\">buying dumbbells<\/a>, there are a few things to consider to find the right set for your home gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Your Home Gym Setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, how much space do you have to house dumbbells? If you\u2019re working with a small home gym, consider getting a set of adjustable dumbbells instead of taking up floor space with a dumbbell rack and fixed dumbbell weights from five to 100 pounds. If you have the space and prefer fixed dumbbells, go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-dumbbell-exercises\">Best Dumbbell Exercises<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Durability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This ties right in with materials and construction. For the functional fitness type who drops dumbbells, drags them across the floor, and does who knows what else with them, sturdy rubber hex dumbbells are best. They\u2019re the most durable and can make the most use compared to uncoated iron dumbbells and adjustable dumbbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Adjustable or Standard <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For most home gym owners, we&#8217;d recommend a set of adjustable dumbbells because they take up less space and end up costing just as much, if not a little less than an entire rack fo standard dumbbells. Standard dumbbells, however, tend to be more durable and have better features like knurling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Your Training Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of exercises you do should influence your decision to buy dumbbells. For those who do mainly bodybuilding-style training or just want dumbbells to do accessory work in addition to powerlifting, regular iron dumbbells or adjustable dumbbells can be a good fit. For those who want to do dumbbell versions of the Olympic lifts, however, rubber hex dumbbells are best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ease of Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Does the dumbbell feel natural in your hand? Can you get a good range of motion with it? Make sure you feel comfortable lifting with the dumbbell you pick no matter what movement you&#8217;re doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-dumbbell-selectors.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-144470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-dumbbell-selectors.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-dumbbell-selectors-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-dumbbell-selectors-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-dumbbell-selectors-222x125.jpg 222w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nordictrack-dumbbell-selectors-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Grip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the dumbbell head, the dumbbell grip is also an important factor to consider. Some people are surprised to learn that many dumbbells don\u2019t have a knurled handle. This can be a problem if you\u2019re using very heavy dumbbells or if you\u2019re working out in a hot, humid environment. Without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/what-is-barbell-knurling\">knurling<\/a>, you\u2019ll probably need to chalk up at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-gymnastic-grips-crossfit\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-gymnastic-grips-crossfit\">Best CrossFit Grips<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget is a huge factor in every home gym buying decision. In fact, it\u2019s usually the starting point for most people. Looking at your budget, determine if a single set of adjustable dumbbells will best meet your needs, or if you can splurge on a full set of iron or rubber hex dumbbells in different weight increments. At that point, you can start looking at different brands to see which offers the best combination of quality, shipping, customer service, and price for your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/the-best-budget-home-gym-equipment\">Best Budget Home Gym Equipment<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Dumbbell Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all dumbbells are made the same. Here are the different types of materials that they can be made with, and the pros and cons of each one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/ce78d1da254c0843eb23951ae077ff5f_61019478a90d3.jpeg\" alt=\"rep dumbbell\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Rubber<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubber is incredibly durable, and should protect your dumbbells no matter what you put them through. Some, however, come with a strong rubber smell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Urethane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Urethane is a type of rubber that&#8217;s odorless, and also much more durable than regular rubber. While it&#8217;ll protect your dumbbells, it also means an increase in overall price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Steel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Steel dumbbells typically have no protective coating on them, and unless they&#8217;re made with stainless steel (which would be incredibly expensive) they won&#8217;t provide much corrosion or rust resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Cast Iron<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are your typical clang and bang dumbbells, and will probably feel much heavier in the hand compared to other materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Plastic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We really wouldn&#8217;t recommend plastic dumbbells, as they&#8217;re not very durable and don&#8217;t feel quite as good in use compared to cast iron or steel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rep-blackwing-adjustable-bench-review-cover.jpg\" alt=\"Man performing one-arm dumbbell rows on the REP Fitness Blackwing\" class=\"wp-image-158980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rep-blackwing-adjustable-bench-review-cover.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rep-blackwing-adjustable-bench-review-cover-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rep-blackwing-adjustable-bench-review-cover-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rep-blackwing-adjustable-bench-review-cover-222x125.jpg 222w, https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rep-blackwing-adjustable-bench-review-cover-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Additional Dumbbell Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides their weight, here are some things to look out for when considering a pair of dumbbells for your home gym. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Knurling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the cross-hatch pattern found on dumbbell handles that helps provide grip. There&#8217;s passive and aggressive knurling, and which one you want on your dumbbell is going to be up to you. Passive is good for people who workout with high volume sets, and aggressive is good for heavy lifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Rotating Handles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you&#8217;re paying top dollar for your dumbbell, this is quite rare. That said, some have rotating handles to help complete the spin on a bicep curl or snatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Diameter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially important if you have smaller or bigger hands. You&#8217;ll want to make sure your hand can fit around the dumbbell handle comfortably, and this will depend on the diameter of the handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Best Dumbbell Exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-dumbbell-exercises\">best dumbbell exercises<\/a> to get the most out of your dumbbells?

These dumbbells offer a lot more bang for your buck even if they seem expensive for a set. Adjustable dumbbells replace multiple pairs of dumbbells saving you space and money; you\u2019ll wind up paying a lot more for an entire set of standard dumbbells. The decision ultimately comes down to your budget, space, and preferences.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather have traditional fixed dumbbells, rubber dumbbells are the best choice, especially if you tend to drop your dumbbells. The rubber coating on dumbbells can help protect your flooring and your dumbbell itself if you accidentally drop them. However, rubber dumbbells can be more expensive than cast-iron dumbbells.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1717517526218\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the best dumbbell weight for building muscle?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \"><p>The ideal weight for muscle gains will depend on your current fitness level and goals. Whatever weight you use, it&#8217;s ideal to follow a strength training program that follows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/what-is-progressive-overload\">progressive overload<\/a>, where you gradually increase weights to get your muscles to adapt and grow. These programs will also vary in repetitions\u2014higher reps with lighter weights for hypertrophy and fewer reps for strength building.<\/p>\n<p><em>RELATED: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/what-size-dumbbells-should-i-buy\"><em>What Size Dumbbells Should I Buy?<\/em><br \/><\/a><br \/>If you\u2019re just beginning with strength training, the dumbbells best suited for you will be on the lighter side. You can start with fixed dumbbells going from 2.5 pounds to 15 or 20 pounds, although a better idea is to start with a budget-friendly pair of adjustable dumbbells, which will allow you to add weight as you build strength and muscle. I\u2019d suggest the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/nordictrack-dumbbell-review\">NordicTrack dumbbells<\/a>, which max out at 55 pounds\u2014plenty of weight for beginners to grow into\u2014and are competitively priced.<\/p>\n<p>For a more advanced lifter, you&#8217;ll most likely need more weight depending on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\/best-dumbbell-exercises\">dumbbell exercise<\/a>. You may want an adjustable dumbbell or set of fixed dumbbells that go up to 80 or 90 pounds, or even heavier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1717517527378\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Are expensive dumbbells worth it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \"><p>Dumbbells with a higher price tag may be worth it if it adds value to your purchase.
