Looking to buy some dumbbells
Posted on 2/23/20 at 11:48 pm

But I am not sure what weight to buy. I don’t want to buy an entire set and spend $500. What weight range should I choose as someone who hasn’t worked out in 5 years? Im 6’2 250. I only want to lose some weight not really interested in being Ronnie Coleman.
I would like to get about 5 different pairs of dumbbells but im afraid of them not being heavy enough to make any gains.

Academy has good prices on hex dumbbells
Hex ones are the way to go

Start with a 0-50 set of powerblocks. Add expansion kits as you need them.

You can find used adjustable dumbbells that will cover 5 to 50 lbs for 100 bucks. If you just want to lose weight and get a little fitter why buy a rack full of dumbbells?

All you need are
15s (use for shoulder and core work)
25s (bi/tri work)
35s (shoulder press/lunges)
45s (chest and rows)

This. See if someone is selling used ones on the FB marketplace, that's where I got mine

You can get 5-50 in 2.5 increments for about $300 last I checked. I have a set of u-125 & they’re fantastic

I was at my local Costco yesterday and saw they had dropped the price of a CAP dumbbell set w/rack to $179, I believe previously it was $249. A good value but the dumbbells only go up to 30 lb.
What’s Included:
(2) 10 lb. Dumbbells
(2) 15 lb. Dumbbells
(2) 20 lb. Dumbbells
(2) 25 lb. Dumbbells
(2) 30 lb. Dumbbells
(1) Dumbbell storage rack

Another vote for Powerblocks. I love mine.
