I bought hex dumbbells off of Craigslist, pairs going up to 50lbs, for fairly cheap.
I don't like standard adjustable dumbbells (short bars with plates) because, the ones I've had, the "collars" would start to unscrew while I was using them, allowing the plates to slide.
I see "PowerBlock" dumbbells on craigslist once in awhile. They might be worth a try. They are probably the highest quality adjustables, at least from the reviews I have read.
If you are like me, you might decide that a cheap gym membership is worth not having to buy too much more equipment. |
